The Amazing Race Around Perth; The TV Show Turned Into a Team Building Activity Right Here in Perth!

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.
