Sydney’s Amazing Race, is one of the most unique ways to experience and explore Sydney.
With multiple courses throughout the city and surrounding suburbs, Beyond the Boardroom have fantastic races that will generate creativity. Get your team thinking laterally through diverse challenges. This is one of the most popular team building event we have and is a fantastic way to help your team to connect through a fun activity.
What happens in an Amazing Race with Beyond the Boardroom?
The Amazing Race is 2.5 – 3 hours in duration and covers around 5km. We divide the group into small teams of around 6-7 people per team. The teams are briefed on the event and undertake a challenge to earn their first clue. Once underway teams walk on foot and pass-through major checkpoints aiming to arrive to the finish location with the most points – it is not technically a race! Teams can earn bonus points by collecting team photos and scavenger items along the way.
Teams receive clues at each checkpoint as they make their way through the race. They must complete the challenges which include team-based problem-solving and teamwork activities, before they receive their next Amazing Race clue. Finishing at a park for a final all in challenge OR a hotel, pub for a drink OR back at the Office / Conference Venue – we will tailor the program to suit your needs.
Inclusions:
Example Amazing Race Game Challenges
Pyramids — A relay where teams race to rebuild a pyramid. There is a twist! Only one person can move one piece of the pyramid per move, and you can only place smaller pieces on top of larger pieces, not the other way around.
Catapults — Work together to calculate the perfect ratio, using a catapult to fire tennis balls for others in your team to catch. Pull back too hard, and the ball will go too far; not enough, and it won’t go anywhere at all! It’s up to your team to figure out the best ratio.
Shape Shifter — is another relay memory-based game in which each team allows only one person at a time to look at a photo of a tangram and then recite to the others how they are going to make the shape.
Nailed it — For this Amazing Race game, teams will have to work together and use problem-solving and creative thinking to balance 12 nails on just one nail head!
Number Triangle — In the form of a classic sudoku, nine numbered tiles are laid out in a triangular shape. Each team must arrange these numbers so that each side adds up to the same number.
The Beyond the Boardroom team were fantastic to deal with. Our facilitator was professional, attentive, and made sure our activities ran smoothly with lots of positive energy. Survivor was particularly fun with our facilitator making sure everyone felt included, and all abilities were able to complete the activities in some way
Organised a team building activity for our employees and the Beyond the Boardroom team made the entire experience seamless – from my initial outreach to the final execution. Huge shoutout to our facilitators for being incredibly responsive, accommodating, and flexible with our evolving needs, all while prioritising participant experience and safety.
We had a great day thank you. Many staff said it was the best team day they’d ever had.
