How Treasure Hunt works
Our Treasure Hunt is just like you remember; check-off as many challenges as possible before time runs out! Keep your eyes peeled for people, places, and things that match your giant scavenger list.
You can’t complete everything, so deciding which challenges to attempt in order to earn the most points is all part of the fun. Teams can take the game at their own pace making this suitable for groups looking for a less physical outdoor activity option.
At the start of the game one of our professional actor hosts will meet your group and get you into teams. We then play an all-in challenge to separate the order in which teams can begin! The tasks will vary in difficulty; the harder the challenge, the more points you’ll earn! Categories include:
Item Search and Rescue: Find, source, create, beg or borrow items from our eclectic list. This category will appeal to the creatives with a good ability to problem solve.
Location Location!: These challenges require your team to find a specific location using maps, general knowledge, or assistance from the locals.
Puzzling Puzzler: Time to visit some of your favourite puzzle style games. From Find-A-Word, Spot The Difference, Celebrity Identities, to Riddles and Brain Teasers. Each puzzle has a varying level of difficulty and your team will need to complete at least two of your choice. Solving these puzzles will require somewhere to sit down and some fluids for brain hydration; somewhere like, you know…a BAR!
Making Friends With Strangers: Get ready to approach and interact with some unsuspecting strangers. Those with the gift of the gab will excel at these challenges, but regardless your team will have met some characters and have some great stories to tell!
Filming Frenzy: These video challenges will require a bit of performance from your team. You’ll be faced with a list of skits, songs, and daring tasks to choose from to be captured on film to laugh at later.
When time is up your host will meet you back at the final venue to tally your points. Some challenges will be graded for best performing teams so the winners will be unknown right up until the last minute, keeping everyone guessing.
During our hilarious closing ceremony we go through some of the magic moments and special mentions of the game, before finally revealing the top scoring team and awarding them with their medals. This game is all about strategy, decision making, lady luck, and good old-fashioned fun!
Why brands, teams, friends, and family can’t get enough of Great Race!
Just wanted to personally thank you for the session you and your team provided at the U@UNSW conference. It really met all our boxes and aligned with my debrief. Its especially refreshing to partner with an organisation who just get it without the need for micro-management. So… THANK YOU. I look forward to working with you guys again in the future.

Please extend my thanks to Josh and Brett and the crew that ran our excursion last week. It was a great day and everyone who participated, students and teachers continue to rave it was great fun! Accessible, comprehensive, well times and professionally ran. Words can not really do justice to how great it was. Given our rapture with the program we will be making this an annual event.

I would love to convey how fantastic the day was, Brett and staff provided perfect activities/challenges and a level of energy which started the day with a bang. We took with us to Southbank 150 students with very cynical attitudes and what the experience helped generate is a mountain of new friendships, faith and trust in each other and a spirit of confidence and social cohesion I have been trying to achieve all year.

I organised the amazing race for a Hens party and what a blast it was! The challenges were fun, cheeky and exciting and bought out the competitive side in all of us. The memories we made that afternoon will never be forgotten. Our host on the day Antony was awesome. From the time of enquiry to the day of the event, Vanessa, was friendly, patient and very professional and made sure it all ran smoothly. Thank you! I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a fun activity for any event!

The Great Race hosted a double hen’s party for my friends (in Sydney). It was beyond amazing. Organising the race was so easy and they really listened to all of my requests – making the event Bride vs Bride with larger groups, taking into the girls’ competitive nature and emphasising the little ways to cheat. The day itself was fantastic. It was lightly raining but ponchos were provided. Everyone was set up for a day of fun by our host, Skylar. He did a fantastic job of making everyone welcome and setting the mood. My team lost by only a few points and I can really say that this didn’t dampen the mood at all. What an adventure 🙂 🙂 Thank you so so much for everything. The brides and all the hens guests had so much fun!

We did a Great Race as part of a hen’s night and it was a terrific day. Completely exceeded my expectations!! Very well organised and a lot of planning had been done to make it a fun interactive day. We all had such a great time. I definitely recommend. Our host Gabe was hilarious, full of energy and make sure we had smiles on our faces all day. Thanks Gabe and the Great Race team! Top day!!
