Ransom

Your boss has been taken hostage, and it is up to you to solve the clues, undertake the team challenges and earn the ransom money in time to save them from the kidnappers! This thrilling outdoor experience combines problem-solving, teamwork, and fun, all while exploring your local area or conference venue and working together to beat the clock.

How It Works

Participants are divided into teams of approximately 7 people and issued with a map and cryptic clues guiding them to activity sites hidden throughout the surrounding area.

At each activity site, teams complete problem-solving, communication, and teamwork challenges to earn ransom money. Teams continue through the locations, collecting funds with the goal of paying the ransom and “rescuing” what’s been taken: whether that’s the boss, the company logo, or another creative prize!

This event can be tailored to suit your team and preferences. If your boss prefers not to be kidnapped, we can select alternative items for ransom.

What To Expect

Expect a fast-paced, engaging scavenger hunt style experience that challenges teams to collaborate, communicate, and think creatively. Example challenges include:

  • Number Triangle: Rearrange nine numbered tiles in a triangle so the sum of each side is equal.
  • Eddy the Egg: Construct a space capsule from straws and tape to catch a raw egg dropped from 2 metres.
  • Zoom: Sequence the famous picture story Zoom in the correct order, requiring clear communication and teamwork.

What Our Clients Say

We had a fantastic time at our event and the Beyond the Boardroom team were so accommodating to changing the venue and activity due to weather! I’ll reach out down the track when we organise our next event.

Sensia

From a planning stage, Beyond the Boardroom have been incredible. From the initial call and connection I made with the Sales team (which is the reason I choose Beyond the Boardroom over other providers), to the ease in comms with our facilitators prior and to the day - all was great.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! If it is only drizzling, we provide ponchos, and your Ransom can continue as planned. If the weather is looking dire, with heavy rain and high winds, your facilitator will provide a backup wet-weather activity. We just need you to organise an indoor location to host this in, usually your conference room or office.
Make sure to wear comfortable clothing, runners, or flat shoes that are comfortable to walk in, and a hat or sunglasses. We always recommend organising your conference venue to provide water for your event OR bring your own water to minimise waste.
Of course! It wouldn’t be a race without a prize for the winner. You will receive genuine Beyond the Boardroom fake gold medals for the winning team.
