Scavenger Hunt

The Fun Facts

Hunt. Solve. Snap. Score.

Ready to explore, solve, snap and hunt your way through the city? Our Corporate Scavenger Hunt transforms your chosen location into one giant playground, filled with clever clues, puzzles, photo missions, creative challenges, surprise checkpoints and plenty of unexpected twists.

If you’re searching for fun team building ideas in Australia that get everyone out exploring, thinking and working together, this is a brilliant way to do it. There’s no set path and no single way to play. Instead, your team decides how to tackle the hunt and, most importantly, how to score as many points as possible before time runs out.

What It’s All About

Forget following everyone else along the same route. Our Corporate Scavenger Hunt gives teams the freedom to create their own game plan.

Once you receive your Scavenger Hunt pack, the hunt is on. Inside, you’ll find a mix of location-based clues, puzzles, photo and video missions, observation challenges and creative tasks. Each challenge carries a different points value, so you’ll need to decide what’s worth chasing and what might be better left behind.

However, the challenges in your pack are only part of the adventure.

Our purple-shirted hosts can appear at surprise checkpoints throughout the hunt with additional challenges and opportunities to score points. There may also be bonus tasks hidden along the way, so paying attention to your surroundings could give your team a serious advantage.

Expect clever clues, questionable team photos, plenty of debate over directions and more than a few moments you definitely didn’t see coming.

How It Works

Your team building scavenger hunt starts with a welcome and briefing from our energetic hosts. We’ll explain how everything works, split everyone into teams and hand over your Scavenger Hunt packs. Then, it’s time to hit the streets.

From there, the strategy is yours. You might head straight for the biggest point-scoring challenges, knock over as many quick tasks as possible or hunt down particular landmarks first. Different teams will take completely different approaches, which is all part of the fun.

Throughout the event, teams send their photos, videos and answers directly to Race HQ. This means we can follow the action, check submissions and keep track of the competition as it unfolds.

Of course, there may be a few surprises along the way. You could stumble across one of our hosts with a bonus challenge, discover an unexpected opportunity to earn extra points or spend far too long trying to work out whether something is a genuine clue or a very convincing red herring.

When time is up, everyone makes their way to the designated finish location. We’ll tally the final scores before revealing your Corporate Scavenger Hunt champions.

Why Teams Love It

One of the best things about our Corporate Scavenger Hunt is that there’s something for everyone.

You don’t need to be the fastest, fittest or loudest person in the team to make a difference. One person might crack a cryptic clue, while someone else takes charge of navigation. Meanwhile, your creative teammate might become unexpectedly invested in producing an award-worthy photo submission.

Because teams need to make decisions together throughout the event, communication, problem-solving, strategy and team bonding happen naturally. You’re simply too busy trying to beat the other teams to notice.

That makes it a fantastic choice for conferences, Christmas parties, corporate retreats, staff celebrations and businesses searching for corporate team building activities that are fun, flexible and a little different from the usual options.

Completely Tailored to Your Location

Sydney CBD? Melbourne laneways? Brisbane riverfront? Adelaide? Perth? Canberra? The Gold Coast? A regional town or conference resort?

We’ll bring the hunt to you.

Every Corporate Scavenger Hunt in Australia is designed around your chosen location. Rather than dropping a generic activity into a city, we look for the landmarks, streets, hidden details, public spaces and unexpected discoveries that can become part of the experience.

You can also choose where you want your Scavenger Hunt to start and finish. Want to begin at your office and finish at a pub? Easy. Starting at a conference venue before heading to dinner? We can work with that too.

Better still, we can customise the challenges themselves. Add company trivia, conference messaging, branded tasks, inside jokes, personalised clues or completely new challenges created specifically for your group.

So, while the concept might be a Scavenger Hunt, your event certainly doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Teams Who Love the Unexpected

Random surprise checkpoints, hidden bonuses, red herrings, and unexpected challenges mean teams never quite know what’s coming next, and that's half the fun.

Team Scavenger Hunt FAQs

Teams receive a customised Scavenger Hunt pack filled with clues, puzzles, photo missions, creative tasks, and location-based challenges. From there, teams choose their own strategy and collect as many points as possible before time runs out. However, expect the unexpected! Our purple-shirted hosts can appear at surprise checkpoints, while bonus challenges give teams even more ways to score points.

Almost anywhere! We can create Corporate Scavenger Hunts across New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, and regional locations. Because every hunt is customised, we use local landmarks, streets, parks, waterfronts, and hidden details to create an experience unique to your chosen destination.

Our Corporate Amazing Race follows a more structured route, with teams solving clues to find their next checkpoint and completing hosted challenges along the way. In comparison, the Corporate Scavenger Hunt gives teams more freedom. You choose which challenges to tackle, where to go, and how to maximise your points. Plus, surprise checkpoints and bonus challenges can shake up your strategy at any moment.

Absolutely! Customisation is a huge part of what we do. We can incorporate company trivia, branded challenges, conference themes, personalised clues, team-specific questions, or even your products and company values. As a result, your team building scavenger hunt can feel completely unique to your organisation.

 

Most Scavenger Hunts run for around 2 to 2.5 hours. However, we can adjust the format to suit your schedule, location, and event plans. Whether you need a shorter conference breakout or a longer team adventure, we can tailor the experience around you.

 

Our Corporate Scavenger Hunt works for both small and large groups. We'll divide your participants into smaller teams and adjust the challenges, scoring, and event logistics to suit your numbers. Therefore, it works just as well for an office team as it does for a large conference or corporate event.

Real Outcomes Your Team Will Experience

The Corporate Scavenger Hunt might look like teams running around taking questionable photos and hunting for clues, but there’s plenty of genuine team building happening behind the scenes.

With no set route to follow, teams need to make decisions together from the very beginning. Do you chase the big-point challenges first, knock over the easy wins or head towards an area where you think you can complete several tasks at once? Suddenly, communication, planning and strategy become incredibly important.

The variety of challenges also gives different personalities a chance to shine. One person might spot a tiny detail everyone else walked straight past, while another cracks the cryptic clue. Meanwhile, someone else takes charge of navigation or comes up with the creative idea that earns the team valuable bonus points.

Because there isn’t one “right” way to complete the hunt, teams learn to listen to different ideas, adapt their strategy and make decisions together. They also need to manage their time and work out when to keep trying and when it’s smarter to move on.

By the finish, your team walks away with stronger communication, better collaboration and a greater appreciation of the different strengths within the group.

Plus, there’ll be plenty of shared stories, hilarious photos and at least one teammate who remains completely convinced that their navigation strategy would have worked if everyone had just listened.
