Description
(Teen Version)
Do you watch Amazing Race on television and wish you could participate in a race around the world, completing fun challenges, and having the time of your life? Unfortunately, only a few lucky people get that amazing opportunity. However, you and your friends can have just as much fun during The Great Race – a mash-up of photo scavenger hunt, clever clues, and fun challenges. This fun adventure can take place in any city center, downtown area, or any busy place where you can find shops and restaurants in walking distance of each other.
The Great Race Premise – A Scavenger Hunt Race
The Great Race is a series of challenges that must be completed in a specific time frame. The Great Race is played in teams. Teams receive a book with challenges that include Routes, Road Blocks, Intersection Challenges, and Detours. Routes do not have to be completed in order, so it is up to individual teams to strategize their plan for the Race. Throughout the course of The Great Race teams must:
- Solve puzzles that direct teams to take a team photo in a certain location or complete a certain task
- Find another team to work with to complete an Intersection task
- Record video of one team member completing a Road Block task
- Solve clues that direct teams to collect certain scavenger hunt items
The Great Race book is professionally designed and looks great! Participants will be impressed with the presentation of the hunt materials as well as the content.
Sample Route:

Solution: The clue alludes to the Seven Seas. If teams string together every 7th letter it will reveal: A place where water can be found. The team photo with Route Marker #1 should involve some form of water.

- Supply List – The Great Race download does not include all of the equipment you need to run the event, such as digital cameras. Guests should bring their own cameras or phones with photo and video capability (one camera per team). You’ll receive a complete list of everything you will need to prepare for The Great Race in your downloaded Directions Document. You will need to print several items, have writing utensils for each team and provide several envelopes per team. Photos can be viewed on team cameras, but it’s preferable to have a computer or some other way to view and judge the photos and videos from The Great Race.
