How Build a Bike works
Build A Bike combines a rewarding team building activity with an even more rewarding donation to a local bike-distribution charity! The event is hosted by professional actors who bring all the heart and humour you could hope for. They get your group into teams and explain the task ahead: the game will begin with a series of challenges that are all themed around design & engineering to gear us towards the final building component.
These games can be in or outdoor and will require teams to work together and identify your individual strengths. We steer clear of trust falls or traditional workshop icebreakers and instead play a series of hands on, interactive and fun constructions challenges. These include using limited materials to problem solve your way to a puzzle that is just out of reach, building the tallest free-standing tower, creating a pulley system to transport M&M’s to a teammate, and piecing together giant puzzles. Each challenge will involve problem solving, innovation, creativity, communication, and a certain level of MacGyver-ness to really bring out the big kid in everyone.
The top performing teams for each challenge will earn points that go towards your total score! Just before we announce the winning team, we reveal the big surprise: the final task, worth no points but all heart, will see teams build a kit-bike that will be donated to a well deserving family in a local community. With a variety of bikes for both children and adults, you’ll not only be giving the gift of joy riding but also a means of transport to work, school, and important services.
With the bikes complete and the room full of feel-good vibes, all that’s left to do is reveal the winning team from the team building component of the day (although it’s hard not to feel like everyone is a winner with this activity!). With medals around the winning teams’ necks and “We Are The Champions” being sung loud and proud, we load up the bikes and go and make a local charities’ day. We promise to make yours in the process.
Why brands, teams, friends, and family can’t get enough of Great Race!
We used the Great Race once for a team building day and then just a few weeks later for a student engagement event because our crew had such a good time during our first booking! Brett was a legend at booking us in at pretty short notice both times and looked after all the details we requested! Zac was an excellent host on both occasions and all our participants both times had a blast, connected with each other and all around loved it! Highly recommend this company whose staff obviously love what they do and deliver a great experience!

A fantastic team building experience that everyone loved...all 140 of us! The hosts were charismatic and engaging, making it a super fun event. Our activities were built around our business and conference theme which made it very relative but in the most fun way! Thanks Great Race team!

We had an absolute blast from start to finish. The session was packed with fast-paced minigames, fun trivia rounds, and plenty of laughs that encouraged everyone to sometimes step outside their comfort zones in the best way possible. What stood out most was how inclusive and engaging the experience was – people of all personalities got involved and genuinely had a great time.

We had Great Race run an event for students and it was a huge success! We loved the challenges, the bonuses and the way everything was set up. Everyone had an incredible time, and it was just so much fun. Brett in particular helped us immensely with organizing the event. He was great at identifying exactly what we needed and was very friendly and approachable. Samm was the one who ran the event and she did so well! She was sweet and full of energy. Overall it was organized and executed incredibly well.

We used Great Race for an International Student event for our university, a fun way to explore their new home. The students who attended had an absolute ball, and many said it exceeded their expectations. Most students didn't know each other, but the interactive nature of the activity allowed them to engage easily. Brett and the team made it easy for us and organised everything for the day. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to organise a fun event that is a little bit different.

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.
