About this event
Around the World is a fun, interactive and dynamic team event where you pit your talents and wits against the other competing countries in a range of challenges to determine which country rules them all!
Your group is split into teams (countries). Each country is issued with a unique Around the World ‘passport’. This is their access to travel to the other continents to take part in the Around the World challenges.
The challenges are based on food, sports, arts / culture and general knowledge from around the world. For example, the Italian pasta challenge, the calligraphy challenge, the New Zealand human sheep wrangle, the South American / Mayan ancient tablet and mask making. The challenges are selected on an event by event basis subject to numbers taking part, venues, time frames etc.
A key part of the event is the strategy teams bring to the challenge. They need to allocate staff to the specific challenges within each continent – thereby giving teams the choice of who does what at each location. Of course there are plenty of surprises and opportunities for ‘global crisis’ with penalties for continental ‘mess-ups’.
The round robin format is high energy and interactive as teams and continents strive to get the most ‘visa’ stamps on their passport. After all the teams with the most ‘visas’ is crowned ‘Champions of the World!’ The event ends with the prize giving and announcement of the winning country.
This event works equally well as a daytime event (indoors or outdoors) or an evening event with a meal designed to match the theme.
