Yutha Gaandam is a Tamil Virtual Amazing Race that is based on Tamil language and literature and designed to challenge Tamil speaking individuals aged above the age of 18. Participants work in pairs to overcome Tamil quizzes and puzzles to solve the problem identified in the shortest time possible. The quizzes will be all based on Tamil language and literature. It will be done entirely from scratch on a new software created by NTU TLS AA. This game will also be available to the public after the event. The software will be the first of its own, with its own customised Tamil rounds and questions, which will be designed, based on Tamil language and literature content.
This Virtual Amazing Race also aims to create an awareness of the evolution of Tamil language amongst young Tamil speaking adults, to strengthen their relationship with the language as a source of ethnic pride, and to share this with their families. Also, it aims to assist young Tamil speaking adults in appreciating the language by reiterating the rich history and power of the Tamil language.
