Bring the Thrill of Race Across the World to Your Team
With the brand-new series of Race Across the World captivating audiences once again, there's never been a better time to inject a spirit of adventure, challenge, and teamwork into your organisation. At BlueSky Experiences, we've created an exciting GPS-based team-building challenge, inspired by Race Across the World that captures all the drama, collaboration, and fun of the hit TV show, while delivering serious benefits for your team’s development and success.
What is Race Across the World at BlueSky Experiences?
Inspired by the global phenomenon of The Amazing Race and Race Across the World, our event puts teams in the shoes of intrepid travellers. But instead of physically globe-trotting, teams navigate their chosen location — whether it’s your office grounds, a local park, or a bespoke event venue — using GPS technology to unlock a series of global experiences.
Along the way, teams will "visit" destinations such as Portugal, Peru, Burkina Faso, and many more. Each GPS hotspot immerses them in local-themed challenges, including:
Brain-teasing quizzes
Creative photo and video tasks
Mind-bending puzzles
Unique country-based trivia
It's a race against time — and a test of strategy, collaboration, and quick thinking!
Key Features of the Event
🌍 Virtual Global Adventure: Your team can travel the world without leaving your local area.
🎯 Roadblocks and Detours: Just like the TV show, Roadblocks require one team member to take on a solo challenge, while Detours involve the whole team collaborating to succeed.
💰 Virtual Currency: Teams earn 'money' (US Dollars) as they complete challenges, and victory goes to the team who has travelled the furthest and earned the most.
📱 Interactive Tech: Using GPS tracking and a dedicated app, teams are fully immersed in the experience.
Why Teams Love Race Across the World
Teams are instantly energised by the thrill of competition and exploration. But it’s more than just a great day out — Race Across the World has profound benefits for team dynamics, including:
Strengthening Shared Purpose
Every successful journey in the game hinges on a shared goal: reach new destinations, complete challenges, and earn rewards. Teams quickly realise that their individual efforts must align with a collective strategy to win. In the workplace, this mirrors the real-world importance of aligning individual talents toward shared business goals.
Encouraging Better Communication
During Roadblocks and Detours, communication is critical. Teammates must quickly share information, strategise under pressure, and support each other through successes and failures. After experiencing this in a fun environment, teams naturally bring these enhanced communication skills back to the workplace.
Building Trust and Resilience
Facing creative challenges and fast-paced decision-making together helps teams develop trust and resilience. Trusting a teammate to complete a Roadblock alone or collaborating during a high-stakes Detour builds bonds that last long after the event is over.
Enhancing Strategic Thinking
Teams must think carefully about which hotspots to target, how to divide tasks, and how to balance speed with precision. This strategic mindset encourages better planning and decision-making, vital skills for any high-performing team.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Race Across the World is ideal for a wide range of team-building needs, including:
Corporate away days
Staff reward events
Leadership development programmes
Graduate induction programmes
Conference energisers
Whether you're looking to integrate new teams, reignite motivation, or simply provide a fun and memorable shared experience, this event delivers.
Why Now?
With the TV series topping viewing charts and capturing imaginations once again, your team will instantly connect with the concept. It’s a chance to tap into the cultural moment and ride the wave of excitement — while delivering real, lasting value to your organisation.
There’s nothing quite like seeing colleagues strategising, laughing, and overcoming challenges together in a way that’s both competitive and collaborative. And there’s no better time to do it than when the spirit of adventure is already in the air!
