How Treasure Hunt works

Our Treasure Hunt is just like you remember; check-off as many challenges as possible before time runs out! Keep your eyes peeled for people, places, and things that match your giant scavenger list.

You can’t complete everything, so deciding which challenges to attempt in order to earn the most points is all part of the fun. Teams can take the game at their own pace making this suitable for groups looking for a less physical outdoor activity option.

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! The tasks will vary in difficulty; the harder the challenge, the more points you’ll earn! Categories include:

Item Search and Rescue: Find, source, create, beg or borrow items from our eclectic list. This category will appeal to the creatives with a good ability to problem solve.

Location Location!: These challenges require your team to find a specific location using maps, general knowledge, or assistance from the locals.

Puzzling Puzzler: Time to visit some of your favourite puzzle style games. From Find-A-Word, Spot The Difference, Celebrity Identities, to Riddles and Brain Teasers. Each puzzle has a varying level of difficulty and your team will need to complete at least two of your choice. Solving these puzzles will require somewhere to sit down and some fluids for brain hydration; somewhere like, you know…a BAR!

Making Friends With Strangers: Get ready to approach and interact with some unsuspecting strangers. Those with the gift of the gab will excel at these challenges, but regardless your team will have met some characters and have some great stories to tell!

Filming Frenzy: These video challenges will require a bit of performance from your team. You’ll be faced with a list of skits, songs, and daring tasks to choose from to be captured on film to laugh at later.

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 unknown right up until the last minute, keeping everyone guessing.

During our hilarious closing ceremony we go through some of the magic moments and special mentions of the game, before finally revealing the top scoring team and awarding them with their medals. This game is all about strategy, decision making, lady luck, and good old-fashioned fun!

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.
