Why Our Corporate Amazing Race Stands Out
Are you ready to put your team’s skills, problem-solving abilities, and collaboration to the test? Pinnacle Team Events’ Amazing Race is an action-packed team building activity that transforms ordinary locations into extraordinary adventures.
It’s a facilitated, corporate Amazing Race for teams of 5 to 8. Your delegates follow maps and clues between roadblock challenges, and the winning team is the one that scores the most points by working together, not the one that crosses the finish line first.
We’ve perfected the art of corporate team building activities that challenge, engage, and unite teams of all sizes.
How Our Amazing Race Event Works
Your delegates will be divided into teams (typically 5 to 8 people per team) and provided with maps, clues, and all necessary equipment. Each Amazing Race team must strategically navigate between "roadblock" activity sites hidden around your chosen location.
The emphasis isn’t on speed but on strategic planning, effective communication, creative problem-solving, and team bonding. Teams aim to earn maximum points at each roadblock before moving to the next site.
Teams move between roadblocks at their own pace within the race time, and every challenge is built so the whole team can join in, from the CEO to your newest starter. It’s team bonding through friendly competition, with a role for everyone.
The winning team isn’t necessarily the first to reach the finish line. It’s the team that accumulates the most points by working effectively together throughout each Amazing Race challenge.
For large groups, we tell each team which roadblock to head to first, so teams spread out across the course and nobody queues.
Roadblock Challenges That Inspire
Our Amazing Race challenges are designed to test multiple skills and create memorable moments. Here’s a sample of what your team might encounter:
-
Number Triangle
Nine numbered tiles are arranged in a triangle. Teams must rearrange the tiles so that each side of the triangle adds up to the same value, a perfect blend of mathematical thinking and collaborative problem-solving.
-
Catapults
Teams design and operate replicated catapults to launch tennis balls toward a landing zone where strategically positioned team members await, ready to catch, combining engineering, coordination, and teamwork.
-
Eddy the Egg
Using only biodegradable straws and tape, teams construct a space capsule device to safely catch a raw egg dropped from 2 metres. It’s an exercise in creative thinking and precise execution.
-
Pyramids
Teams race to rebuild a pyramid structure that can only be constructed from bottom to top, requiring planning, communication, and hands-on passion for the task.
-
House of Cards
Teams must arrange 16 tiles into a 4x4 grid where each row, column and both diagonals are unique.
Every Amazing Race mixes roadblocks like these with clues written for your location.
Where We Run Amazing Races
As a completely mobile service with a love for surprising and delighting clients, we bring our corporate Amazing Race to wherever your team is located.
Amazing Race in Sydney
Our Sydney Amazing Races run through the CBD, The Rocks, Darling Harbour, North Sydney and Parramatta, and our Sydney team is based at 155 King St.
A Sydney Amazing Race can be built around your office or conference venue. Outside the city, we also run races across the North Shore business districts, in the Blue Mountains for a scenic adventure, on the Central Coast for coastal challenges, in Newcastle for Steel City inspired races, and on the South Coast and in the Southern Highlands for races that immerse teams in breathtaking natural beauty. For more ideas, see our Sydney team building activities.
Amazing Race in Melbourne
In Melbourne, we run facilitated, corporate Amazing Race events through the Melbourne CBD for groups of 10 to 1000+, scored on points, not speed.
Our Melbourne office is in Collingwood. For other activities across the city, see our team building in Melbourne.
Amazing Race Across Australia
Our Queensland office is in West Burleigh, and we run Amazing Races in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. We also travel to Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and beyond for corporate team building.
We’re continually evolving with new ideas and new challenges, maintaining a fresh approach that keeps even repeat clients engaged. Choose Pinnacle for your next team building event, and our wonderful hosts will personally facilitate, bringing hands-on passion and expertise to ensure your success.
A Customised Amazing Race for Your Corporate Team
Every customised Amazing Race event starts with your brief: where your team will be, who’s coming and what you want the day to achieve. We then write the clues and roadblock questions around your company, so the team building activity reflects your values or your conference theme.
Some of our favourite races start with a messy brief. One client asked us for an activity built around its customer experience principles, so we designed an Amazing Race around them.

What Is an Amazing Race Team Building Event?+
It’s a facilitated team building activity where small teams move around a venue or city, solving clues and working together to complete challenges and collect points. Every race is a corporate team event designed for groups of 10 to 1000+, and every delegate can take part.
Where Is the Activity Held?+
We are a completely mobile service and will bring the Amazing Race to you! Whether it’s your conference venue, the Sydney CBD, or the urban area surrounding your office, we will tailor the Amazing Race to suit your needs. Depending on your preferences, we can even create a public transport event or one using private cars.
Do You Have Set Routes?+
No. Lots of race-based events reuse the same course, but we plan every Amazing Race around your location and your team’s objectives, so every route is written for your group.
Can You Recommend Locations for Us?+
Absolutely! With over 1000 events delivered annually, we have extensive experience with venues across Australia. Some of our most popular races occur in the Sydney CBD, Darling Harbour, The Rocks and the Melbourne CBD, but we regularly travel wherever our clients need us.
Is It a Race?+
Not in the usual sense. While we call it an Amazing Race, the first team to the finish is not necessarily the winner. Teams accumulate points throughout the challenges, and the final pit stop reveals which team has earned the most points overall. This approach rewards problem-solving, teamwork, and strategy rather than just speed.
Is There a Minimum or Maximum Group Size?+
We run the Amazing Race for 10 to 1000+ delegates in teams of 5 to 8, so a group of 100 makes 13 to 20 teams.
How Much Does an Amazing Race Team Building Event Cost?+
As a guide, outdoor activities like the Amazing Race start from $66 per person including GST, and larger groups receive a lower per-person rate. The final price depends on your group size, how long the Amazing Race runs, where it’s held and any extra prizes. When comparing quotes for corporate team building, compare like with like against our What’s Included list, because providers don’t all include the same things.
Do You Run Amazing Races for Christmas Parties and Conferences?+
Yes. The Amazing Race works well as an afternoon team building activity before a Christmas party dinner, or as a team event within a conference program, built around your venue. December dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What Happens in Wet Weather?+
We’ve got you covered! Every Amazing Race comes with a backup indoor program we can switch to if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Our indoor wet-weather event maintains all the excitement and team-building benefits of the Amazing Race; all we require is a space to host it.
Do You Provide Prizes?+
Yes! Gold Pinnacle medallions are provided for the winning team. We can also arrange additional prizes at your request for an additional cost, or you’re welcome to provide your own special rewards if you have huge game enthusiasts in your company.

“This is the second time we have worked with Pinnacle for a team-building event, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Every activity was thoughtfully designed to encourage engagement, and even our quieter team members jumped right in and had fun. The atmosphere was energetic and inclusive, sparking genuine connection and collaboration among colleagues from all departments. By the end of the day, everyone was not only happy but also felt more unified, with a noticeable boost in morale that has continued at work. We highly recommend Pinnacle for their exceptional impact on our team.”
“The Ronald McDonald House Charities Team had an enjoyable time and had a lot of fun doing the Amazing Race. We would definitely recommend to others. The Challenges were challenging but doable in the time allowed. Our course around the The Rocks was great and easy to navigate. All in all a great experience had by all.”
