Before You Book
New to Corporate Amazing Races? Start here. These FAQs cover how the events work, why teams love them, and what makes our team building experiences different.
How does the Corporate Amazing Race work?
Our Corporate Amazing Race events combine clue solving, team challenges, and friendly competition in locations across New Zealand. Teams race between checkpoints completing activities, earning points, and unlocking their next clue. Events are fully hosted by our team and tailored to suit your goals, group size, and location.
Whether you’re planning a conference breakout session, Christmas party, or corporate team building activity in New Zealand, we customise the experience to fit.
What makes your races different?
Unlike app-only scavenger hunts, our Corporate Amazing Races include professional hosts, live checkpoints, custom challenges, and tailored routes. Every event is built around your team, location, and objectives.
We create races in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown, and regional locations across New Zealand. No two events are exactly the same.
Why choose an Amazing Race for team building?
A Corporate Amazing Race gets teams moving, communicating, and solving problems together. It encourages collaboration, boosts morale, and creates shared experiences beyond the office.
Plus, it’s significantly more memorable than another sit-down lunch or awkward icebreaker.
What outcomes does team building actually deliver?
Well-designed team building activities can improve:
✔ Communication
✔ Collaboration
✔ Problem solving
✔ Team morale
✔ Workplace relationships
✔ Employee engagement
The biggest outcome? Teams often leave with stronger connections and plenty of stories.
