How the Amazing Race Team Building Event Works
Our Amazing Race is geared for all abilities. Teams move at their own pace, aiming to solve as many clues as possible. Few teams solve them all, and quality matters more than speed, since finishing early only serves as a tie breaker. Problem solving, creativity, and teamwork ultimately determine the winner.
The event begins at a designated meeting point such as a hotel lobby, city square, rooftop parking deck, or waterfront gathering area. Before the race starts, teams warm up with quick, outside-the-box Energizers from our Strategic Games or a short head-to-head challenge to determine a minor starting advantage.
Each team receives an Amazing Race bag filled with maps, tools, clue sheets, and items that may become critical during the experience. GPS units or digital map aids may also be included. During the race, anything goes. Teams can call for help, search online, ask locals, shout across the street, or recruit residents and business owners for assistance, but teams must stay together at all times.
During the Amazing Race Experience, Teams Learn to:
- Collaborate in a fast-moving, real-world setting
- Communicate clearly while navigating and solving clues
- Approach problems creatively with limited information
- Work together under time pressure while staying aligned
- Have FUN while exploring their surroundings
Amazing Race Team Building for Small and Large Corporate Groups
The Amazing Race is designed for all abilities and fitness levels. Teams move together, and success depends on communication, creativity, and collaboration rather than speed alone. Few teams complete every challenge, and every group finishes with shared stories, laughs, and a stronger sense of connection.
Amazing Race Logistics and Event Flow
The race concludes at a fun, festive bar or restaurant where teams celebrate completing the course and await final scoring. Bonus challenges may include locating a specific item, posing for a group photo, collecting information from a local business, or completing a quirky task that rewards creativity and resourcefulness. These offer easy ways to earn extra points, though Venture Up staff are sticklers when it comes to bonus point verification.
Venture Up’s Amazing Race blends problem solving, teamwork, movement, and discovery into a fast, memorable team building event that works equally well for first-time groups and returning teams.
