How the event works
Teams are equipped with a tablet or mobile device and set out across a mapped area using GPS technology to locate checkpoints. At each location, they complete a series of challenges which may include questions, photo tasks or problem-solving activities. Progression is determined by accuracy, speed and strategic decision-making, as teams choose routes and prioritise tasks to maximise their score. The live interface provides real-time updates, allowing facilitators to track performance and maintain momentum throughout the experience. The format encourages teams to plan effectively, communicate clearly and adapt their approach as the activity develops.
This activity provides:
- GPS-enabled navigation and route planning
- Interactive, location-based challenges
- Real-time scoring and performance tracking
- A competitive, time-bound team environment
- Flexible delivery across a range of outdoor locations
- Integration of problem-solving and physical movement
- Christmas version of this game available
We make the process simple, enjoyable and professionally managed from the very beginning. Our team works closely with you to understand your objectives, group dynamics and the type of experience you want to create.
On the day, everything is designed to feel engaging, inclusive and easy to take part in, allowing people to relax, get involved and enjoy themselves without pressure or awkwardness.

At BlueSky Experiences, we believe corporate events should feel effortless, engaging and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
We combine high-energy experiences with professional delivery, thoughtful planning and a warm, people-focused approach that makes every group feel looked after. It is not just about running activities. It is about creating an atmosphere where people relax, connect and enjoy spending time together.
What sets us apart is the balance we achieve between serious fun and meaningful experience. Teams leave energised, appreciated and more connected, without the event ever feeling forced, overly corporate or like a training session.
That is why organisations across the UK continue to trust BlueSky Experiences to deliver events that people talk about long after the day is over.
Race Around the World enables teams to demonstrate how effectively they plan, communicate and execute under time pressure. The live scoring system provides immediate visibility of progress, allowing teams to assess the impact of their decisions in real time. Observing how teams allocate resources, share information and adapt to changing conditions highlights strengths and inefficiencies in their approach. This creates a clear link between activity and output, supporting a better understanding of how coordinated effort drives results and where improvements can be made.
Teams often experience inefficiencies caused by poor planning, unclear communication and inconsistent collaboration. These issues can result in duplicated effort, missed opportunities and reduced overall effectiveness. Race Around the World addresses these challenges by requiring teams to make decisions quickly, align on priorities and execute a shared plan. The structure of the activity reinforces the importance of clarity, coordination and adaptability, providing a practical demonstration of how improved behaviours lead to stronger outcomes.
Sustainable improvement comes from translating observed behaviours into everyday working practices.
The experience highlights how teams operate when required to balance speed, accuracy and collaboration. By reflecting on decision-making processes, communication methods and task execution, teams can identify specific adjustments that improve efficiency and alignment. Embedding these behaviours into daily operations supports more consistent performance and stronger long-term effectiveness.
