How Water works works
Did you know that 1 billion people in the world don’t have access to clean drinking water, and this is the biggest killer of children under the age of 5? The Water Works program by Helping Hands provides simple water filtration systems to impoverished communities to give them the basic human necessity of clean drinking water.
We combine the existing Water Works program with a collection of interactive, fun and hands-on team building activities to create a complete package for your team.
The event begins with an Opening Ceremony where the overall objective for the day is explained by our awesome professional actor hosts. First, teams will battle it out in a series of challenges designed around the theme of construction and innovation as we build towards the final play-off. These challenges will see the group split into smaller teams and verse each other in construction tasks, memory challenges, eating competitions, and puzzle building.
The winners of each challenge will receive points, with the top two teams making it into the final play-off which will involve both teams assembling a water filtration system. The first team who is able to build their system and filter 200mL of clean drinking water will be crowned the winners of the Water Works program. If you’d prefer all teams to build their own system and create an artwork sticker you can order additional units to your program.
Teams will also design an artwork on a large sticker that has its own unique tracking code. This sticker will be applied to a water filtration system and your team can track when your unit has reached a community. You’ll also receive a photo of the system being used by local members of the community which really allows the impact of this rewarding team building activity to hit home.
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.
