5 ways to win the Corporate Amazing Race

Think You Can Win the Corporate Amazing Race? Cute.

Think your team’s got what it takes to take out the Corporate Amazing Race? Love the confidence… but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Because here’s the thing. It’s not just about crossing the finish line first. Our races are packed with team building, team bonding, quick thinking, creativity, and yes… the occasional cheeky bribe. It’s part strategy, part chaos, and all-out fun.

So before you lace up your sneakers and declare victory, here are a few insider tips from the team building legends at Tailored Team Building, the crew behind the Corporate Amazing Race across Auckland, Queenstown, Dunedin and beyond.

1. It’s Not a Sprint (Even If You’re Dressed Like It Is)

Yes, the clock is ticking. No, you shouldn’t be sprinting past every checkpoint like it’s the Olympics.

Every challenge is scored, which means how you complete it matters just as much as when you arrive. Accuracy, creativity, and teamwork will earn you far more points than speed alone. We’ve seen plenty of teams cross the line first… and still lose. Brutal, but fair.

2. Bring the Drama (We Love It)

If you want bonus points, this is your moment.

We’re talking dramatic clue reveals, over-the-top celebrations, questionable team chants, and the occasional fake faint for effect. The Corporate Amazing Race is not the time to be shy. It’s your chance to lean in, have a laugh, and fully embrace the chaos.

The teams that commit? They’re the ones we remember.

3. Bribery… Might Work 

Look, we’re not saying bribery is encouraged… but we’re also not not saying it.

A well-timed chocolate offering, a few flattering compliments, or even a rogue interpretive dance might just sway things in your favour. Our hosts are only human. Charming teams tend to do very well. Coincidence? We’ll let you decide.

4. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Yes, Really)

We know, it sounds like something off a poster in the lunchroom. But in our corporate team building activities, it’s the difference between winning and wondering what just happened.

The best teams divide and conquer. They communicate clearly, They play to each other’s strengths. You’ve got your clue crackers, your navigators, your hype crew, and your selfie specialists. Use them all.

Because no one wins the Corporate Amazing Race alone.

5. Bring the Energy (This Is Your Secret Weapon)

If there’s one thing that separates good teams from great ones, it’s energy.

Cheer loudly. Celebrate the small wins. Laugh when things go wrong. Keep the vibe high from start to finish. These fun team bonding activities are built around energy, and the more you bring, the more you’ll get back.

Plus… it doesn’t hurt your score 😉
