Scavenger Hunts: What to Look For

Circular Quay, The Rocks and Darling Harbour make a ready-made game board, and Team Fun, based on Elizabeth Street in Surry Hills, commonly builds its Sydney routes across them. For a group in the city or its inner fringe, the start line can be a short walk from the office.

Why the city and its fringe suit a clue race:

  • Landmarks sit close enough together for a route of roughly 3 km on foot
  • With trains, ferries, buses and light rail converging here, a public transport race is practical
  • Teams can set off from a restaurant, a park or a CBD office
  • The finishing pub can stay secret until the final clue gives it away
  • Teams of three to six keep everyone involved at each checkpoint

Groups based further out are covered too: Team Fun offers Bondi and Parramatta as route options and can rebuild a race around bikes or cars.

Matching the format to the crowd

  • Work teams: the classic race, where strategy cards let a team leap ahead or stall a rival
  • End-of-year parties: the Christmas edition and its festive challenges
  • Friends after a different plot: Spy Race, Mystery Race or Pirates Treasure
  • Very small groups: even a pair can book a race

Timing and rain plans

  • A standard event lasts about 2.5 hours, including the briefing and results
  • Races can be cut shorter or stretched to fill a full day
  • The forecast is tracked from a week before the event
  • Threatening rain can mean postponing or taking things indoors
