How Starlight Treasure Hunt works
Our Starlight Treasure Hunt will see each team check-off as many challenges as possible before time runs out! 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!
Keep your eyes peeled for people, places, and things that match your themed scavenger list! Teams will be required to gather photos, videos, and physical items on their travels to complete each challenge. The tasks vary in difficulty; the harder the challenge = more points you’ll earn!
Each team will need to complete at least two challenges from each category: Sparkle Pack, Location Location!, Puzzling Puzzler, Making Friends With Strangers, and Filming Frenzy. With more challenges to complete than time allows, deciding which challenges to attempt in order to earn the most points is all part of the fun and strategy of the game!
With more of a focus on points than distance or speed, teams can take the game at their own pace making this suitable for groups looking for a less physical outdoor activity option.
The option to add a couple of bar stops keeps the game light-hearted and perfect for an end of year event or celebration.
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 a surprise right up until the last minute! During our hilarious closing ceremony we go through some of the magic moments before revealing the winners and your donation to The Starlight Children’s Foundation ending the day with warm and fuzzies and big impact!
Example challenges
We design each game based on your requirements, duration, location, and group size.
Here’s a snapshot of some example challenges you might expect to encounter on one of our games.

All the fun aside, this game has some serious side effects:
- Team bonding

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.
