This space must accommodate the presentation space at the front and a seated audience area for your entire group. The teams can then break out into multiple rooms/spaces to plan and work; this could be your offices, a conference centre or private venue – call us for suggestions!

How Play in a Day works
Play In A Day gives teams the challenge of working with our professional Actors and Directors to produce a short play in a day..! well less than a day… 2-4 hours… but ‘Play In A 2-4 Hours’ didn’t quite have the same ring to it. The event starts with some fun warm up impro games that get the mind working and get everyone laughing; they are as fun for participants and audience members alike! These include: Space Jump, Whose Line Is It Anyway: What Prop is This?, and Partner Puppets.
We talk through the importance of being open to offers and following your impulses, and the negative outcome of someone blocking your idea on stage and going with their own agenda. It’s all about listening, communicating, and working together as a cohesive unit in a really fun and lighthearted way where no one can fail!
We then move on to the concepts of story building starting with devising and performing 5min versions of popular fairy tales. Teams have to work quickly and cohesively, and identify the essential elements to the story that must be included. These are performed in front of the entire group and then our actors and directors give tips and feedback that you take into your final task: create a play from scratch! Using props, costumes, and craft supplies, you’ll devise a 5-10min creative story or skit that can be based around a prop, genre, company value, or conference theme. Teams will have the aid of our professional actors to assist you in the creative process, and you’ll also be encouraged to work autonomously and embrace the individual talents within your team.
We then regroup to watch each teams’ performance and the entertainment begins! With in-jokes, celebrity impersonations, and classic one-liners, there’s so many hilarious moments. To finish the game on an awesome high we award medals for standout & breakthrough performances! Play In A Day offers something totally different and rewarding, and is perfect for connecting teams.
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.
