This girl beat the Star Wars escape room challenges in under 10 minutes so she gets to go to San Francisco thanks to Grab

After five weeks of intense battle between Grab riders from The First Order and The Resistance in Singapore, the winner of the Rancho Obi-Wan grand prize was crowned at the final showdown at Plaza Singapura last Sunday. 29-year-old Lynnda Koh from The First Order beat nine other competitors to emerge champion, completing a series of STAR WARS-themed escape room challenges in the fastest time – 9 minutes 31 seconds 72 milliseconds!

As a regular Grab user, riding with Grab has been Lynnda’s most comfortable way of travelling around Singapore. During the campaign period, she used the zero-value ‘THELASTJEDI’ promo code for every ride booking with Grab. Never did she think this would grant her the trip of a lifetime. 

However, it’s not all without hard work and preparation! After being informed by Grab that she has been selected to battle it out at the final showdown with other top riders, Lynnda – not your typical STAR WARS fan – spent her weekend on a STAR WARS movie marathon, acquainting herself with the films and crunching in as much knowledge as she could.

Congratulations, Lynnda!

Meanwhile, we also tried our hand at the escape rooms. Take a look:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, comes to cinemas 14 Dec.
