How The Amazing Race Event Works
Your delegates will be divided into teams (typically 5-8 people per team) and provided with maps, clues, and all necessary equipment. Each amazing race team must strategically navigate between “roadblock” activity sites hidden around your chosen location.
The emphasis isn’t on speed but on strategic planning, effective communication, creative problem-solving, and team bonding. Teams aim to earn maximum points at each roadblock before moving to the next site.
The winning team isn’t necessarily the first to reach the finish line-it’s the team that accumulates the most points by working effectively together throughout each amazing race challenge.
Roadblock Challenges That Inspire
Our amazing race challenges are designed to test multiple skills and create memorable moments. Here’s a sample of what your team might encounter:
Number Triangle
Nine numbered tiles are arranged in a triangle. Teams must rearrange the tiles so that each side of the triangle adds up to the same value, a perfect blend of mathematical thinking and collaborative problem-solving.
Catapults
Teams design and operate replicated catapults to launch tennis balls toward a landing zone where strategically positioned team members await, ready to catch, combining engineering, coordination, and teamwork.
Eddy the Egg
Using only biodegradable straws and tape, teams construct a space capsule device to safely catch a raw egg dropped from 2 metres-an exercise in creative thinking and precise execution.
Pyramids
Teams race to rebuild a pyramid structure that can only be constructed from bottom to top, requiring planning, communication, and hands-on passion for the task.
Nailed It
What appears impossible becomes achievable when teams think outside the square to balance 12 nails on just one nail head, demonstrating that innovative thinking can solve seemingly insurmountable challenges.

We are a completely mobile service and will bring the Amazing Race to you!

Depending on your preferences, we can even create a public transport event or one using private cars.
No—and that’s what makes us special! While many other race-based events use the same routes repeatedly, each race is customised to your specific location and team objectives.
Absolutely! With over 1000 events delivered annually, we have extensive experience with venues across Australia. Some of our most popular races occur in Sydney CBD, Darling Harbour, The Rocks, North Sydney, Parramatta, and Melbourne CBD, but we regularly travel wherever our clients need us.
While we call it an Amazing Race, the first team to the finish venue is not necessarily the winner. Teams accumulate points throughout the challenges, and the final pit stop reveals which team has earned the most points overall. This approach rewards problem-solving, teamwork, and strategy rather than just speed.
We’ve got you covered! Every Amazing Race includes a backup indoor program that can be implemented if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Our indoor wet-weather event maintains all the excitement and team-building benefits of the Amazing Race; all we require is a space to host it.
Yes! Gold Pinnacle medallions are provided for the winning team. We can also arrange additional prizes at your request for an additional cost, or you’re welcome to provide your own special rewards if you have huge game enthusiasts in your company.
