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.
We booked The Amazing Race as a simultaneous team-building activity across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and it was an absolute highlight. The experience was engaging, energetic and incredibly well run, with seamless delivery across all three locations. From planning through to execution, communication was clear and professional, giving us complete confidence that the event would be a success.
The feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it genuinely strengthened working relationships, brought out a healthy competitive spirit, and encouraged creativity and collaboration. The activity allowed individuals to play to their strengths, showcasing diverse skill sets and reinforcing the value of teamwork in achieving the best outcomes.
Despite having other activities and speakers earlier in the day, The Amazing Race stood out as the clear highlight. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to any organisation looking for a high-quality, engaging team-building activity. We’re already looking forward to booking something similar (with a fresh twist!) for next year’s event.
Thank you to our facilitators for an amazing event. Our team really enjoyed the Amazing Race around Leura. The Beyond the Boardroom team were easy to deal with from beginning to the end, thank you again.
Fantastic fun activity. Very professionally run and it was a great way to break the ice and create strong bonds between the teams so it certainly achieved the intended goal.
We recently ran an Amazing Race event with the help of Tanya, Mitch and the team at Beyond the Boardroom – and it was fantastic! The team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the planning and on the day. Everyone had a great time, and we’ve received so much positive feedback from our participants. Thanks again for making it such a smooth and fun experience!
We had an amazing experience with the team building workshop and the Amazing Race challenge!
The activities were fun, interactive, and full of valuable learning around trust, teamwork, time management, working under pressure, and public speaking skills. It was also great exploring new lookout points around the city while bonding as a team.
A huge thank you to Jackson and the team for organising such a well-planned and energetic event. Our whole team had a fantastic time and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable team building experience!
