Games Built For The Season
Classic Scavenger Hunt
Where it all began… Our classic scavenger hunt series is our longest running, and widest spread game available within our catalogue. We have multiple locations around the world to choose from. Each location has a carefully curated scavenger hunt route, which has been designed around the culture, community and vibe of the area. Compete in teams for the bragging rights and see if you can knock everyone else off their positions on our leaderboards. We provide public and private bookings, as well as bespoke options and tailor made games.
How does it work?
Once you've enquired through our website you will receive a product brochure, which outlines our different games and packages. Then we will ask you to confirm your group size, location, event time and date, and the package you'd like to purchase. Then we will send you an invoice/payment link to confirm your booking, as well as an event organiser checklist.
The event organiser checklist includes the option to fill out our bespoke questionnaire. Once you've filled in our bespoke questionnaire, you will receive an instruction email with all the details about your game, as well as a draft copy of your bespoke game handouts.
On Game Day
We can meet at either a public meeting point located at the beginning of our game routes, or at a private venue such as a bar/pub or we can meet at your office space. Once the event begins we play an icebreaker game to divide players into teams, and then we present each team with your bespoke handouts. Teams will need to assign a team captain who will be required to sign-in through Google to access the game. Their phone will be responsible for submitting all your team's photos and videos as evidence that you've completed various tasks and challenges. Once teams have have signed-in they complete a practice section, which includes the task "Take a team selfie", and a text box to assign your team a name. We will award the best team name an extra 5 points.
The practice section ensures that teams are familiar with submitting task and challenges, and ready to start the game. Before we begin we will run through the rules, FAQ's and answer any questions. Then teams will have some time to strategise how they're going to earn the most points, and then the games begin.
When individual teams arrive at the designated finish line any additional services will be handed out to players. Such as medals and experience photos. Then we will showcase a selection of tasks and challenges to the group on either an iPad or big screen (depending on the finish location). Next we will hand out trophies for the most creative and funniest team. Finally we run backwards from the lowest scoring team to the highest scoring team, and hand out trophies for 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. Once the game has ended all the team captains will receive a follow up email with the scores, and all the tasks/challenges that have been submitted on the day.

Platforms

What you'll need
We advise having x1 smart devices per team.
Rules
1. Teams must stick together at all times.
2. Each photo should include the whole team; however, one member can be excluded if they’re taking the photo/video.
3. Tasks are divided into Miscellaneous, Bespoke and Location categories.
4. Location tasks are mutually exclusive. You cannot score tasks within multiple locations.
5. Tasks must be submitted before the end of BucketRace to be counted.
6. For late arrival to the finish, teams loose 150 points every 5 minutes.
7. Any team more than 15 minutes late will loose all their points.
8. Any teams caught cheating will be disqualified.
9. Teams with the most points at the end of BucketRace wins.
Scoring
Each task carries a specific amount of points based on its difficulty, location and BucketRace classification (e.g. location, miscellaneous, bespoke or bonus). The location tasks score the least; however completing enough of them unlocks a hefty bonus. Miscellaneous tasks score more points, but they don’t offer any bonus incentive. So choose wisely! It’s worth noting that most of the BucketRace location tasks have been written in order of the quickest route. The exceptions are the final few tasks within each section, which have been chosen to fit the culture of each area and can be performed anywhere within that location.
Task Examples
Location: Find a taxi serving coffee in (Shoreditch) | Find the giant Dragon in (Camden) | Build a human pyramid in (Hyde Park) Miscellaneous: Serenade a stranger | Build a leaning tower of pizza | Share your last Rolo with a stranger Bespoke: Spell out your Company Name in large letters | Locate a notable alumni | Find the backronym of I.T. written down On The Day

Whacky Wager Betting
It’s a night of fictional whacky betting madness, where you won't be placing your bets with real money, but with with our special virtual bucket coins, across a series of genuinely live Whacky events!
Novel, quirky, and modern, it’s our bonkers bet bonus. You’ll still get to roll big, and feel that adrenaline, but in a monetary free environment. You bet this is the game for you!
At the beginning of the evening, each player will be issued with 100 coins to play with. After a brief overview of how the betting and odds work, guests will have the opportunity to place their first bets. Our first round of betting involves our Lego coaster. This event will be running throughout the entire duration of your evening. You’ll need to place your bets on how many laps the coaster will do! Be warned it may surprise you! In between races, we will play your selected playlist and it gives you a chance to socialise in your video chat rooms, have a drink and discuss your next bet. So head on down to our virtual crazy casino and let’s get betting!
What you need
Real World: x1 smart device per team.
Virtual: x2 smart devices, headphones and a stable internet connection.
Scoring
You’ll start the game with 100 fictional coins. It’s up to you how you want to spend them… Some rounds can be more fruitful than others; however, you’ll be rewarded for your bravery, with bigger returns if you take bigger risks. Don’t worry if you run out of coins, you can always visit the banker, or even the loan shark, but beware, you’ll owe them some interest… Or if you’re not careful you may owe them even more! If you max out your funds more than three times, you can continue to play, but you’ll receive a DNF on the leaderboard, and probably a visit from the loan shark.
Round Examples
Lego Roller Coaster
How many times will our lego roller coaster go around its track during your experience? If your bet hits the nail on the head, you will receive a return of x4 on your investment. If your bet is within 10% of the correct number you will receive a return of x3 on your investment. If your bet is within 20% of the correct number you will receive a return of x2 on your investment.
Unicorn Race
A head-to-head drag race between two unicorns. It’s 50/50, so your odds are 2/1. If you get the correct answer you will receive a x2 return on your investment.
Whacky wheel
Someone on the call will have the chance to decide how hard we spin our whacky wheel. The wheel will land on a category, and you’ll need to bet on your own confidence in your knowledge on that subject. If you get the question correct, you’ll earn a tidy profit for your efforts.
Hot Wheels Drag Race
Six cars to choose from, but there can only be one winner! It’s a high stakes round, with a hefty return, for those who dare to dream big!
Steel Marble Run
Five marbles will be racing against one another, on our giant steel marble run. If you place in the top 3, you will receive either a big profit, a small profit, or you’ll break even.

Adult Sports Day
A team building event with sports day games for adults is an exciting and fun way to bring colleagues together, build stronger relationships, and foster a sense of unity and collaboration within a group. The event typically involves various physical challenges and games, with a focus on teamwork, communication, and friendly competition.
Participants are divided into teams and engage in a range of sports day games, which include events like thowing events, obstacle courses, and relay races. Each activity is designed to promote teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills, as teams work together to achieve common goals and overcome obstacles.
In addition to the adult sports day games, there are usually other team building activities, such as icebreakers, trust exercises, and problem-solving challenges. These activities help to break down barriers and encourage colleagues to work together more effectively.
The event can be customized to fit the needs and preferences of the group, with different levels of physical activity and a range of games and challenges to choose from. The emphasis is on fun, laughter, and building strong relationships, so participants can let their hair down and enjoy a day of friendly competition and camaraderie.
Overall, a team building event with an adult sports day games theme is a great way to boost morale, improve communication and collaboration, and create a more positive and cohesive workplace culture.
Sports Day Games for Adults
Relay Races
Leaky BucketRace
Each team is provided with two buckets and a container (such as a small cup or pitcher). One bucket, which has holes in the bottom, is filled with water and placed at the start of the relay line. The other bucket is empty and positioned at the end of the line. When the relay begins, the first player in line fills the container with water from the leaky bucket and runs to pour it into the empty bucket. They then return to the start to tag the next teammate, who repeats the process. The relay continues with each team member transporting water from the leaky bucket to the empty bucket until the time limit is reached. The team with the most water collected in their bucket at the end of the game wins.
Three Legged Race
A three-legged race is a competition in which pairs of participants are bound together at the ankle, and must work together to navigate a designated course. It's like hopscotch, but instead of using a single leg, you have to synchronise your movements with your partner's while sharing a leg between the two of you. Typically you’ll see individuals hobbling, stumbling, and tripping over each other while trying to maintain balance and momentum. The coordination required to move in unison while tied together makes it both a hilarious and challenging activity.
Egg Drop Relay
In the Egg Drop Relay, each team member receives a tennis ball, which they must carry between their knees as they waddle to a box set a fixed distance away. The goal is to get close enough to the box so that when they release their knees, the ball falls into the box, simulating a nest. After successfully depositing the ball, the player runs back to tag the next teammate, who then picks up another "egg" and repeats the process. The relay continues until all team members have completed the task and the final player returns to the starting line. The first team to finish wins.
Egg And Spoon Race
A competition that truly separates the delicate and graceful from the clumsy and calamitous. Picture this: a group of determined individuals, each equipped with an egg, delicately balanced on a spoon, ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime. As players navigate the course, other teams introduce obstacles, requiring players to twist, turn, and duck with the finesse of a ballerina. With the finish line in sight, who will succumb to the pressure and watch in horror as their egg tumbles to the ground? In the end, it's a true test of skill, luck, and perhaps a little bit of magic. The Egg and Spoon Race: a delightfully quirky and unpredictable adventure.
Miniature Football Slalom
The Football Slalom Relay is an exciting and dynamic team-based activity that combines speed, agility, and precision. In this relay, players dribble a football through a series of cones, navigating the obstacles with skillful control and swift maneuvers. The objective is to complete the slalom course as quickly as possible while not losing the ball! At the end of the relay the final player must score a goal, perform a celebration and sit down with the rest of their team in order to secure their points.
Mummy Wrap Relay
Provide each relay team with a roll of toilet paper of the same size. The following instructions are for 5-member teams but can be easily adapted for larger or smaller groups. One member of each team acts as the "mummy" and stands with arms outstretched and legs apart. When the relay begins, the second team member grabs the toilet paper and wraps one leg of the "mummy." Once the wrapping is complete, the toilet paper is passed to the next student in line, who wraps the other leg. The third student wraps one arm, the fourth student wraps the other arm, and the final team member wraps the mummy's body and head. The first team to use up its roll of toilet paper wins. To add an extra element of fun, students can vote to award a prize to the team that created the best-looking mummy, encouraging careful and creative wrapping.
Blindfold Item Retrieval Relay
The Blindfold Item Retrieval Relay is an exhilarating team-building challenge where communication and trust take centre stage. In this unique relay race, each team member is blindfolded and must rely solely on verbal instructions from their teammates to navigate their lane and find a specific item. The rest of the team directs the blindfolded participant with precise and clear guidance, ensuring they stay on course and successfully retrieve the hidden object. This activity not only tests the participants' ability to follow directions but also strengthens team cohesion and fosters a spirit of cooperation, as success relies entirely on the team's collective effort and effective communication
Wheelbarrow Race
It's like a race, but instead of running like a normal human, you're crawling on all fours like a farm animal. And instead of using your hands and feet to move, you're relying on a trusty wheelbarrow to carry you to victory. It's a test of coordination, strength, and balance, where the person pushing the wheelbarrow has to trust that their partner won't faceplant into the ground. It's a true test of friendship, where you have to rely on each other to make it across the finish line without tipping over. It's like a wacky obstacle course, where the obstacles are your own body and the barrow that's carrying it. So strap on your gardening gloves, because it's time to wheel your way to glory!
Space Hopper Race
It's like a herd of bouncy kangaroos, except they're not real kangaroos, they're humans riding on big rubber balls. They bounce and hop and race each other like they're on a wild intergalactic adventure, except in reality they're just in a field somewhere on Earth. It's the Space Hopper Race, where gravity takes a backseat and bouncing skills reign supreme. Get ready to hop, skip, and jump your way to the finish line!
Sack Race
It's like a potato sack fashion show, where people turn into hoppin' haute couture. Players are required to don their finest burlap ensembles and hop their way down the race track and shuffle their way to the finish line. It's all about the wobbly hops and awkward leaps as you try not to tumble over like a bowling pin. It's a race that's both ridiculous and exhilarating, and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. So grab your sack, hop in, and get ready to race like a spud-tacular superstar!
Clothesline Relay
Each relay team is given a laundry basket full of clothes and some clothespins. Each basket includes a variety of clothing items, such as pants, shirts, T-shirts, or socks, and two clothespins per team member. Extend a clothesline between two poles or trees. When the relay begins, the first member of each team grabs an item from the basket, runs to the clothesline, uses two clothespins to hang up the item, runs back to the team, tags the next person in line, and then moves to the end of the line. The next player then picks another item of clothing from the basket and heads for the clothesline. The relay continues in this manner until the last student hangs the final piece of clothing and returns to the end of the line. This fun and engaging activity promotes teamwork and coordination.
Over-Under Beanbag Relay
The first player on each team gets a beanbag. When the relay starts, the first player in line passes the beanbag over their head to the second player. The second player then passes the beanbag under (between) their legs to the third player. The third player passes it over their head, the fourth player passes it under their legs, and so on. When the beanbag reaches the last person in line, they run to the front of the line and starts the over-under process again. The game continues until the player who started the relay returns to the front of the line. The first team to finish wins.
Soak and Squeeze Relay
Each team is provided with a sponge and two buckets: one filled with water at the head of the line and one empty at the end. The first player in line dunks the sponge in the water bucket and passes it over their head to the next player. Each player continues passing the sponge over their head until it reaches the last player, who then squeezes the remaining water into the empty bucket and runs to the front of the line. The rest of the team steps back, and the process repeats, with the new front player soaking the sponge and passing it back. Thoroughly soaking the sponge ensures more water reaches the empty bucket, though it also means team members will get wetter. The team with the most water in the once-empty bucket at the end of the time wins.
Skipping Race
It's like a bouncy battle of fleet-footed frolickers, leaping and launching themselves into a speedy sprint. The ground trembles with each hop and skip as players strive to be the skippiest of them all. It's a contest, where the lightness of your feet could determine your victory. So don’t skip a beat, and let’s hop to it!
Hula Hoop Race
It's like a circular showdown, where you spin and swirl your hips to keep that colourful plastic ring from falling down. Your body becomes a blur of motion as you navigate through a twisting obstacle course, trying to out-hoop your competitors. It's a test of endurance, balance, and of course, your ability to look cool while gyrating your midsection. So grab your hoops, tie up your hula skirts, and let's see who can keep their hips swinging the longest!
Baton Medley
Imagine a game of hot potato, but instead of a potato, it's a baton, and instead of standing still, you're running as fast as you can. And if you drop the baton, your team's hopes and dreams will fall faster than a clumsy toddler carrying a glass of juice. Oh, and you're not just running, each leg carries a different challenge... Think crab walk, hop on one leg, monkey crawl, running backwards, dodging cones and make shots.
Throwing Events
Nerf Javeline
Nerf Javelin uses a soft foam-based javelin that can be used in a variety of games and activities, such as target practice, distance throwing, and relay races. It can be played individually or as part of a team, and can be used indoors or outdoors.
Tennis Shot Put
Traditional shot put is a field event that involves throwing a heavy metal ball, known as the shot, as far as possible. In this modified game, players use a tennis ball and racquet to strike the ball as far as possible, aiming for a specific target or trying to surpass a certain distance. The player who throws the ball the farthest would be the winner.
Bean Bag Toss
It’s time to toss and twirl your little legume-filled friends into the air, hoping to land them gracefully in their designated bucket. You must channel your inner circus performer, balancing your aim and your poise, as the bean bags soar through the sky. It's a game that rewards both accuracy and showmanship, as you cheer and jeer your opponents, all while indulging in the joy of throwing things around. So let's toss those beans and put on a show!
Tiebreakers
Tug Of War
Tug of war is an activity that involves two teams pulling on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal of dragging the other team across a designated line in the center of the playing field. The game requires both physical strength and strategic coordination between team members.
Obstacle Race
At our adult sports day, all participants come together for one final push to achieve glory in a thrilling obstacle relay race. The race features a variety of sequential events that are linked together to create a challenging course. Each player is required to complete a their challenge before passing the baton to the next team member, who then tackles the next obstacle. The points earned in this culminating round are doubly weighted, providing an opportunity for teams lower on the leaderboard to make a surprising comeback.
On Game Day
On the day of the event we will arrive 3 hours before the start time to set up all of our equipment.

A 2 hour experience, which consists of innovative, interactive, physical games that are arranged around your office space. All we need are some clear desks and some open spaces. We own a selection of indoor office themed, creative games, meaning we can adapt the listing based on the office you have.
Before your experience, we will ask you to select up to 10 office themed games, and additional services from our product brochure. Once we’ve confirmed the booking, we ask that you send us some photos of the space we’ll be setting up in, and information about any parking or drop-off locations we can use for our equipment.
At the beginning of the experience players will divided into teams of between 4-6 players (or you can select these in advance). Those teams will compete for medals across a mixture of competitive games. The team with the most medals at the end of the experience wins.
Typically, we divide teams into groups and rotate those groups around different game stations. Each team will have around 10 minutes at each station before they rotate onto the next one. Once a team reaches a game station, a game master will describe how the game runs and ask each team to select which player(s) will be participating in the game. Then on the game masters mark, teams will compete against one another to earn points, which result in medals.
Gold medals are worth 3 points, silver medals are worth 2 points, and bronze medals are worth 1 point. Once all the games have been played and the medals have been counted, we will announce the scores. During the end ceremony we invite teams up to front of the room to collect their trophies and then we do a big group photo with all the players together. If we have a tie at the end of the competition, then a trivia question about your company will be used as a tiebreaker.

Have you brushed up on your physics? Do you know your left from your lift? In this round you’ll need to spend some time getting creative, and putting together some highly aerodynamic paper planes to try and best your opponents, and make the furthest flight. Just like in olympic javelin the furthest distance thrown wins.
Elastic Band Target Shooting
Remember all that time spent at school not listening to the teacher, but instead trying to get your best friends attention by flicking elastic bands at them? Well... Get ready to put all that hard work into practise, by knocking over a series of amusing targets using elastics bands. The team who knocks over the most targets within the time wins the points.
Balance and Beans
Balance and Beans is a quirky indoor game that combines coordination, teamwork, and a bit of chaos. One teammate must hold a beanbag in one hand throughout the game while the other balances a random assortment of objects—like rubber chickens, hoops, hats, or even toy cars—on their partner's body. The challenge is to keep each object balanced until the time is up. If the beanbag drops, the team is frozen out the round, and after each round, teammates switch roles. To add an extra twist, the game can include quirky tasks like humming tunes, and "wildcard" objects chosen by the opposing team to make balancing more difficult. The team that successfully balances the most objects on their teammate wins, making for a fun and unexpected challenge that blends silliness with skill.
Target Toss
Welcome to "Target Toss," the exciting game where accuracy and skill are your keys to victory! This fun-filled activity offers a variety of scoring opportunities. Start by tossing a bean bag into a ring for 1 point, then aim to get a ring over a cone for 2 points. Step up the challenge by shooting a miniature basketball into a basket for 3 points. Finally, test your precision with a ping pong ball into a cup for 4 points. Each successful throw replaces the previous score, making every shot count even more. If you're the first team to finish all the tasks, you earn a total of 5 points. Get ready to aim, toss, and win with Target Toss!
Paper Plate Discus
Unlike traditional discus this one's about accuracy; it's not about distance. Your team will need to throw your paper plate into a big target. The closer your throw it to the centre of the target the more points your throw is worth. Each player in the team needs to make a throw, and the team who racks up the most points wins.
Cool Runnings
In this game teams will need to place an ice cube on a spoon and run back and forth between two marks six feet apart. The games master will count how many times teams cross the lines. If a team drops their cube then they start over. The winners are the team who has the highest consecutive lap count at the end of the round.
Bounce Cup
This isn’t any normal bounce cup. This is a bounce cup relay. Players will need to take it in turns to bounce a series of ping pong balls into a cup. Players will work back and fourth down a line of cups, and the winning team is the team who makes it the furthest within the time limit.
Stack Em Up
This game is a race to stack up a series of items into a tower. The team who can build their tower the quickest wins. However; the tower must stand on its own for at least 10 seconds to be considered structurally sound! If your tower tumbles within those 10 seconds you’ll need to start all over.
3 Legged Balloon Race
It sounds simple but we promise you it isn’t. This is our take on a traditional 3-legged race. Two players from each team will be bound together using our professional 3-legged race bands and then they will be given a balloon. Players need to journey between two marks which are six feet apart. This game is a race. The team to complete the most runs wins; however, for a run to count you must have the balloon between your legs for entire distance. If a team bursts their balloon they’re disqualified.
Computer Chair Egg & Spoon
The eggs aren’t real, but the computer chairs are. It’s time to show off your steady hands in this relay built specifically for the office. Teams will need to select one player to sit in a computer chair and another player to push the chair. We will mark out a simple slalom route that the players need to follow. If players crash into one-another, then they must start again. If a player drops their egg, they must start again. So steadiness over speed please! The team to cross the finish line first will gain their team the points.
Nerf Shooting
If you’ve got good aim or you’re a nerf shooting pro then step right up, because it’s your time to be counted. In this game players will use a nerf gun to shoot moving targets over a six foot distance. The team who knocks off the most targets wins.
The Tallest Tower
Teams collaborate to construct the tallest freestanding tower using materials like spaghetti, marshmallows, straws, and tape within a limited time frame. Participants brainstorm and innovate, combining their unique skills to create a structure that stands tall and steady. The atmosphere buzzes with anticipation as hands dart and minds race, each team member contributing to the effort. The challenge culminates in a final countdown, with the tallest tower symbolising the power of collaboration, creative problem-solving, and teamwork
House of Cards
It sounds simple, but there's a decision to be made. You can play it safe and decide to build a simple yet robust small house of cards. Or take the risk and try and build a hotel. The team with the tallest house of cards at the end of the time wins. However; in order for your team to win the points. The house must be uniformed and complete (with a single top layer) when the end buzzer sounds. No kicking down other teams houses either! That’s a sure way to get your team disqualified. This isn’t a demolition site!
Mini Indoor Football Slalom
Simple yet effective this game is a relay of foot magic. Teams have to navigate a miniature football around a series of cones. Each player in the team must participate. The team to finish the slalom first takes the points.
Puff Ball Obstacle Run
In this game players will need to blow a ping pong ball through a maze of miniature obstacles. If the ball falls then you must start over. The team that finishes the maze first wins their team the points!
Ring Toss
We have so many versions of ring toss it will make your head spin. Ranging from non-seasonal to seasonal versions we use this game to tailor the event towards your group and requirements.
Costume Contest
If you’d like to add another dimension to your office olympics why not add a costume competition? Teams will need to arrive in their best olympic fancy dress. We can even assign teams different countries or themes in advance.
On Game Day
On the day of the event we will arrive 3 hours before the start time to set up all of our equipment.

If you're feeling creative

Once you've filled in our bespoke questionnaire, you will receive an instruction email, with all the details about your game, as well as a draft copy of your bespoke game hands outs. Finally once you've signed-off on your game, we send it for printing, and look forward to seeing you on game day.
On Game Day
Once the event begins we play an icebreaker game to divide players into teams, then we present each team with your bespoke handouts. Teams will need to assign a team captain, who will be required to sign-in through Google to access the game submission form. Their phone will be responsible for submitting all your team's photos and videos as evidence to show that you've completed various tasks and challenges.
Team captains will be required to complete a team name section, which includes the task "Take a team selfie". We will award the best team name an extra 5 points.
Once the team name section has been submitted, players will be familiar with the technology and ready to start the game. Before we begin we will run through the rules, FAQ's and answer any questions. Then teams will have a set amount of time (defined by your before game day), to work out how they're going to earn the most points, and be crowned BucketRace champions.
When the time finishes a selection of tasks and challenges will be showcased to the group and then we run backwards from the lowest scoring team to the highest scoring team, and do a slow reveal for 3rd, 2nd and 1st place. Once the game has ended all the team captains will receive a follow up email with the scores, and all the tasks/challenges that have been submitted on the day.
