CORPORATE EVENT FAQs

OUTDOOR CORPORATE EVENTS

What happens if it rains?

We know how much planning goes into a team event, so we operate rain, hail or shine! We will provide super glamorous, high-fashion plastic ponchos in wet weather. If the weather is too dangerous to be outdoors, with 24 hours notice we may be able to revert to an awesome indoor game in a venue of your choice.

Check out our Terms of Service for rescheduling and cancellation policies.

How physical is the game? We have a few colleagues that aren’t very mobile...

Most Amazing Race routes will involve about an hour of walking, broken into short 5-15min bursts between checkpoints. The challenges themselves are not physical, and the game has been designed to be suitable for all ages and a basic fitness level. The winners are NOT based on the first team to cross the finish line: the game is more about WHAT you do than how FAST you do it.

For anyone with restrictive mobility issues, they can choose to:

  • Watch the Opening Ceremony then make their way directly to the final venue for the Closing Ceremony
  • Begin the game as normal and make the call at any point to go directly to the final venue, with no penalty to their team
  • Join for the Closing Ceremony at the final venue

Our Survivor event is played in one location with no walking, and none of the challenges are overtly physical.

Do you have set start times?

You choose when the game starts and the duration, subject to availability! Each event is tailored to your schedule, or you can let us guide you based on our expertise.

How many people in a team?

Based on your group size, we recommend:

<20 Participants = 4 to 5 in each team

20-60 Participants = 5 to 6 in each team

60+ Participants = 6 to 8 in each team

100+ participants = 8 to 10 in each team

Are drinks included?

In order to keep our events as affordable and inclusive as possible, drinks are not included in the price. Let us know if you’d like to organise a bar tab at the final venue and we can assist with this. 

For drinks at the 2-3 bar stops during the Amazing Race with Bars, you can either:

  • Let people purchase their own drinks, if they choose to
  • Allow people to put in a claim for reimbursement via your normal processes
  • Give each team a cash kitty or company card
Where does the game finish?

For our Amazing Races, we usually finish up at a pub so everyone can enjoy a post-game drink and debrief. Pubs are also the perfect place to hold our exciting and boisterous Closing Ceremony. We have a bunch of final venues we use regularly that we can suggest and book in for you. Or you can book your own! 

Other finish locations include a nearby park (although keep in mind if the weather is bad it can put a bit of a *dampener* on the day) or we may be able to finish back at your offices.

Our Survivor event is played in one location; a park or sports field. 

What prizes are there?

We provide proper break-your-teeth medals for everyone on the winning team. They also win the best prize of all: bragging rights. 😎

We generally discourage incentivising with extra prizes as it changes the dynamic of the game and things get a bit too serious. But if you do wish to involve extra prizes, we can recommend the best way to accommodate this.

Do you provide bandanas?

We recommend Canteen bandanas to provide the perfect optional add-on to your event! Add some fun and colour to any of our games by purchasing team bandannas while supporting Canteen at the same time. 

The cost of bandanna’s vary from $5-15 so depending on your budget this is a cost-effective way to add a charitable component to your next corporate activity! Order directly from Canteen via https://shop.bandannaday.org.au/

We have a small group - can we join someone else’s game?

Each event is a private game for just you and your group. This is so your colleagues can completely relax and get the most benefit out of the experience. Unfortunately, you cannot join other groups. 

If you’re struggling to find the numbers to make it feasible, you can:

  • Bring along some of your clients or customers for the ultimate schmooze event
  • Allow partners or plus ones, or even kids!
  • Partner with other small businesses in your building, business community, or local area
Can you accommodate larger group sizes?

Absolutely! We’ve run events for groups of 500+ participants, as well as hosting multi-city events simultaneously across the country. With over 17 years experience we have the necessary operational skills to handle groups of all sizes. Get in touch to chat more!

How much lead time do we need to book?

The earlier the better to ensure your desired date and time is available. For Christmas time, we recommend at least 2 months lead time as we book out on popular days. 

If you have a last minute booking for an event in the next 7 days, please get in touch ASAP and we will do our best to make magic happen.

INDOOR CORPORATE EVENTS

Do we need to provide the venue?

We can come to your conference venue, offices, or help you find a suitable function space for our indoor events.

Do you have AV?

We can provide all the necessary tech and AV equipment including MAC laptop, projector, microphone, and speakers, or we’re happy to liaise with your venue and use their inhouse AV. Please chat to us about your specific space and AV requirements.

How does the room need to be set up?

For most of our indoor team building activities we require the room set up in cabaret or banquet style, so that each team has their own table and seating. Things can get pretty loud and competitive so it’s important that we have a private room so we do not disturb others in the vicinity. We’ll also need some extra space at the front of the room for physical games and projector screen. A spare table for our game materials and marking is also handy, but not essential.

The exact room requirements will depend on your event and group size. Chat to us when enquiring.

How much space do we need?

We require a private indoor venue with room for each team to be seated at a table (ideally cabaret or banquet style setup. Think kind of like a trivia night setup), and extra space at the front of the room for physical games and projector screen (if the room isn’t already equipped with an overhead projector). 

The exact room requirements will depend on your event and group size. Chat to us when enquiring.

How many people in a team?

For most of our indoor events this will likely be dictated by how many tables you have. We will recommend the team sizes based on your group size, desired outcomes, and specific event requirements.

What prizes are there?

We provide proper break-your-teeth medals for everyone on the winning team. They also win the best prize of all: bragging rights. 😎

We generally discourage incentivising with extra prizes as it changes the dynamic of the game and things get a bit too serious. But if you do wish to involve extra prizes, we can recommend the best way to accommodate this.

Do you provide catering?

Catering is not provided so that you can choose the best options for your group, budget, and event requirements. We can make recommendations and work with your caterers to ensure the best timings for food and drinks.

Can you accommodate larger group sizes?

Absolutely! We’ve run events for groups of 500+ participants, as well as hosting multi-city events simultaneously across the country. With over 17 years experience we have the necessary operational skills to handle groups of all sizes. Get in touch to chat more!

We will contact you 10 days prior to your event date to get your final numbers. Based on these numbers, the balance will be due 7 days prior to your event. Check out our Terms of Service for more detailed information on confirming your event.

Can you customise the game for the hen/birthday?

The game already includes built-in challenges that highlight and celebrate the guest of honour to make the birthday or hen’s experience extra memorable.

Is it ok to have less than the minimum participants?

Absolutely! Our minimum event fee gets you up to a certain number of participants. You can have less than this, but the fee won’t change.

Do we need to bring anything?

Most importantly, weather appropriate clothing and footwear! For Amazing Races you will be walking and may need to make a few optional purchases during the game.

SCHOOL/UNI GROUP FAQs

OUTDOOR SCHOOL/UNI EVENTS

Can you do an Amazing Race at our school or uni campus?

Yes we can! We’ve designed many custom Amazing Races around school grounds and university campuses. It’s a great way to orient new students to the facilities, or turn a place they thought they knew into a giant game. 

Check out our Custom Amazing Race option and contact us to discuss.

What happens if it rains?

We operate rain, hail or shine! We will provide super glamorous, high-fashion plastic ponchos in wet weather. If the weather is too dangerous to be outdoors, with 24 hours notice we may be able to revert to an awesome indoor game in a venue of your choice.

Check out our Terms of Service for rescheduling and cancellation policies.

How many students can you cater for?

Up to 300! We can come to your campus or plan an interactive game around the city. Contact us to chat more about our events.

What ages/grades are suitable for these activities?

Our Amazing Races around the city are best suited to grade 9 and above, although younger years are still welcome but will require an adult chaperone in each team. The minimum age for our School Amazing Races and Survivor activities is grade 5 or 10 years old.

Do teams need a chaperone?

Our Amazing Races around the city will involve teams making their own way between checkpoints unsupervised, managing their time, and staying on task. This is part of the fun and where trust and independence is built. Our hosts will be at the start and end locations, and at the 1-2 manned checkpoints. 

We recommend an adult chaperone (provided by the school) in each team for grades 8 and below. We encourage each school or organisation to make their own judgement call about whether their group needs an adult chaperone in each team. Some year groups are ready for more risk and independence than others. 

Please note that the chaperone will play an active role in the game and will likely need to help teams locate challenges, use a map, and keep them on task. We promise you’ll have fun too! 

Our School Survivor event is played in one location, usually on your campus or in a sports field, and therefore does not require a chaperone per team.

How many students in each team?

<20 Participants = 4 to 5 in each team

20-60 Participants = 5 to 7 in each team

60+ Participants = 7 to 8 in each team

100+ participants = 8 to 10 in each team

Do you require the use of mobile phones?

Our Amazing Races will require one person in each team to have a charged mobile phone for safety, as well as taking photos and videos for challenges, navigation, and contacting the host for assistance if required. 

Our Survivor events do not require mobile phones.

Do you provide risk assessments/public liability/WWCC?

All our hosts have valid WWCC which can be provided before your event date. Risk Assessments and a copy of our Public Liability can be provided upon request.

Do you cater to students with special needs?

Our activities are designed to appeal to different strengths and include puzzles, props, construction tasks, riddles, physical challenges, using maps, following instructions, creative tasks, and more. Please discuss exact accessibility requirements with us so we can make suggestions on how to accommodate your students.

Are there set days/times we can do these events?

You choose your own date and start time, subject to availability!

What prizes are there?

We provide proper break-your-teeth medals for everyone on the winning team. They also win the best prize of all: bragging rights. 😎
