The Amazing Race Around Perth; The TV Show Turned Into a Team Building Activity Right Here in Perth!
July 31, 2008
The Amazing Race Around Perth is a great option for a team building activity. Just like the TV show, your staff will need to work in teams to get to each required checkpoint and complete all the challenges along the way.
This team building event will begin with a pre race facilitation session in which each team member is asked to think about their individual hurdles to effective communication. Since communication is an essential part of The Amazing Race Around Perth (and smooth team functioning at the office), each staff member will need to make a commitment to work on their communication skills and overcome their self identified hurdles.
The race will begin at a pre-determined location in Perth. Once there and ready to go each team will be given a fun brainteaser. This will serve to challenge them but to also stagger their start time! They’ll also be given their resource kit containing things like a map, travel vouchers, cash, directions and the rules for the day.
The first step in this team building activity is catching the bus to Barrack St. where each team will scramble to the ferry dock in search of a facilitator who will give them the first clue. When they get their clue envelope, they’ll receive instructions, directions and a team challenge. Successfully completing a team challenge will give your team the opportunity to earn more cash so they can take faster modes of transportation!
Next, they’ll head somewhere in South Perth where they’ll be required to get their picture taken, as a group, with an American tourist! Once they do this, they’ll be given another clue envelope.
Following the directions in the next clue envelope, your team will be led to different check points on their way to Kings Park via the Narrows Interchange parkland by climbing up Jacob’s Ladder. At each checkpoint the teams will be required to collect certain items or information to show they were there.
As they keep going on this team building activity, they’ll continue to be challenged with brainteasers as well as with how to find their way to other locations such as the Ore Obelisk and a famous hotel. To make sure everyone is safe, they’ll be given a number to call if they get lost, can’t find transport, etc; but they’ll also receive a time penalty at the end of the race.
This is a really excellent team building activity, and a very popular one too! If you’d like to explore holding The Amazing Race Around Perth for your staff, just call 1 300 267 738. Your team will be talking about this event for months to come, and in addition to having a great time together, they’ll learn a lot too!

Amazing Race Around Sydney Team Building Activity
January 18, 2008
The race is on… Split into teams with each team making their way around Sydney. Equipped with maps, clues and some extra props, team members need to find their way to specific sites.
Travelling to each spot can take any form with some routes requiring specified transport like a water taxi, Harley Motorcycle or by foot for example. At each stop they will have a task to do… whilst the greatest challenge remains in working out the destinations to head to, by figuring out the clues and hints to their final finishing destination.
Like the TV show, The Amazing Race, the winning team is the first over the line after completing all of the tasks.
It all starts at a designated location, where the teams are briefed, given all equipment and their first task – to find your first mode of transport. A series of cryptic questions and clues lead each group to their next step on a scenic and fun trip around Sydney.
This may involve catching the monorail or water taxis to meet a FUN challenge, following clues through the Royal Botanic Gardens along the edge of Sydney Harbour or even hiding behind bushes to catch the Kodak moment of the day to win the most points! Before they begin, they need to work out an entertaining team name! Then they are off!
Throughout this fabulous day, they will be given vouchers to present to receive in return for some goodies, they may be edible, require action or be a clue to the next spot! Directed with hints, the transport modes and roads will be left to their interpretation. However there will be a help line for dire strait situations…it will cost them points though!
On completion of the day, they will be led back to the final spot for a debrief. Here, times will be recorded and tallied. At the group’s lunch or dinner, they can sit and relax over a drink whilst the presentation of the winners is made. This is also when the photos taken during the day will be displayed. This is a great afternoon full of challenges, FUN, games and surprises.

Race Around Brisbane - Team Building all over Brisbane
January 15, 2008
This amazing team adventure is a fusion of group think, interactive challenges and a race against time across, through and over the streets, river and bustling CBD of Brisbane.
The adventure includes team challenges, physical challenges, and problem solving tasks, team building challenges and interactive game playing. By using the template of The Amazing Race in conjunction with team dynamic training, the adventure has all the excitement of the TV show along with strong team growth components.
The experience begins with a fun brainteaser that helps spread the teams’ departure times by a few minutes. Teams are allocated a resource kit with travel vouchers, cash budget, maps and directions, as well as the rules for the day.
Thank you VERY much for providing a great afternoon on Friday! Every person in the team enjoyed it and is still talking about it. The photos you provided captured the day well and have been passed around the team. People from other teams think the concept is great for a team building day and have asked to see the photos. It’s a pity that we only hold team building days once a year; we now have to wait a full year before we can arrange something again!
