Corporate Amazing Race – Our Most Popular Outdoor Team Building Experience

Looking for an unforgettable way to bring your team together? Our Corporate Amazing Race is one of the most popular team building activities in New Zealand, perfect for teams that want to get outside, have fun, and connect in a whole new way.

It’s fast-paced, energetic, and packed with creative challenges. Your team will crack clues, tackle tasks, and race across your chosen location. Along the way, they’ll build stronger connections, laugh a lot, and maybe even surprise themselves.

Inspired by the TV Show – Built for Your Team

We’ve taken the excitement of the Amazing Race and added a Tailored twist. With roadblocks, detours, and secret fast-forwards, your team will need communication, strategy, and a bit of cheek to succeed. It’s a brilliant mix of competition, exploration, and team bonding.

This event works in cities, suburbs, and regional spots. Whether you’re in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Queenstown, we’ll bring the adventure to you.

How It Works

We kick off with our lively hosts who divide your group into teams and set the scene. A quick warm-up gets everyone pumped before the race begins.

Each team receives their first clue and heads off to solve puzzles, complete checkpoint challenges, and unlock the next location. Expect creative tasks, quirky moments, and plenty of laughter along the way.

Most races cover 3 to 5 kilometres on foot, but we can tailor the distance to suit your team. We also offer self-drive Amazing Races for those who prefer to cover more ground.

Why Teams Love It

This event is all about team bonding, problem-solving, and pure fun. With more than 30 challenge options, we’ll design a race that reflects your team’s personality and goals.

Think logic puzzles, physical challenges, and laugh-out-loud moments you’ll talk about for weeks. No matter your team’s size or fitness level, we’ll create something engaging, inclusive, and unforgettable.

Scoring and Winning

Choose between a points-based race or a timed challenge. Either way, the competition is fierce, and the bragging rights are real. Every checkpoint earns your team closer to the win, but every challenge brings something fun.

Corporate Mystery Race

The Mystery Race – New Zealand’s Most Interactive Team Building Challenge

Think your team has what it takes to crack the case? Welcome to the Mystery Race, where clue-chasing meets chaos in one of the most unique and exciting team building activities in New Zealand.

Part Amazing Race, part live-action murder mystery, this fast-paced event sends your team racing through the city to solve a thrilling whodunnit. You’ll interrogate shady suspects, decode riddles, and uncover clues before time runs out.

How It Works

Your team is met by our host, aka “The Detective”, who sets the scene for a crime-filled day. A mystery has unfolded, and your team has been recruited to solve it.

After a dramatic briefing, teams receive witness reports, crime scene photos, and the first clue. From there, it’s go-time. Actors posing as suspects are hidden around the city in cafés, parks, laneways, and public spaces. You’ll need to question them, chase leads, and work together to uncover the truth.

Every encounter is unpredictable. Some suspects lie. Others panic. Some are helpful, but none will make it easy.

Why Teams Love It
