Plan amazing race game

Their job will be to witness the players completing challenges, make sure the rules of each challenge are being followed , and driving the whole team to the different pit stops. They are also responsible for giving out the new clue after each challenge is completed, and passing out the new challenge envelopes. The witness must be unbiased and must not provide help, advice, or even hints to their team whatsoever. This usually includes food, cake, and the usual birthday party fun stuff.

I was not able to find actual amazing race party decorations kit so I suggest the following ideas:. When guests arrive you will need to divide them into teams, each one can consist of contestants depending on how many guests you invited. Each team should be given an identifying color and will hence be called by that color. Next assign each team to a driver and explain the rules.

On the show the teams are all racing to the same pit stop at once, but for party purposes it is best to start all the teams out with different destination clues. Every team must visit every pit stop, but they will just do it in different orders. The witness drivers should know the order of their route ahead of time, and be prepared to pass the clues out in that order. Below is an example Amazing Race party plan. You can use this exact one or create your own. Make sure that each witness has certain supplies with them for the race.

They should have a digital camera, cell phone only the witness , small amount of cash, and anything else needed to complete the pit stop challenges. The answer is the mall which most malls usually have people going up or down either on an elevator or escalator. They often have a mechanical horse merry go round. Seniors walking around for exercise and people shopping of course.

After the players figure out the destination, the witness can give them the challenge details. For the mall challenges I chose three funny challenges that the team had to complete at the mall before receiving their next clue.

They had to take a picture of the players completing each challenge. The challenge details read:. After the team has completed their challenge they will be hit with a road block. The witness will pull out the roadblock challenge which reads:.

One person from your team must enter the American Eagle store and sing the National Anthem to the store clerk. Your team can decide among yourselves who will do it. After all three tasks and the road block challenge have been completed the players can receive their next clue riddle. After they solve the clue which is a local playground the witness can give them the challenge details which read:.

Take a trip to memory lane, it is time to PLAY! Complete all of these fun playground challenges to receive your next clue! The answer to this riddle is a local Japanese restaurant. Once seated, the witness can pass the players their challenge details which read:.

Get ready to set your taste buds a tingle. The kids are the ones who are supposed to be figuring out the clues, performing the challenges, and directing the drivers to each location. And each party will be different and unique to your own city. Get the signature of a policeman or fireman and take of picture of him or her with the team. Go to a specific candy store and buy exactly. Be sure to bring the candy and the receipt to the finish line.

Go to a specific landmark and take a picture of the team. You may create a puzzle for them to figure out which landmark. Go to a specified cemetery and have them search for a certain name and tell how old the person was when they died. Racers must be quiet and respectful while in the cemetery or will incur a penalty 6. Go to a named park and take a pic of the team going down the slide together.

Go through a certain drive-thru, tell them you are with the Amazing Race, and ask for the next clue. Race coordinators will have to plan accordingly ahead of time. Go to a specified Chinese restaurant and ask for an Amazing Race fortune cookie.

I did this for one race and bought fortune cookies from the grocery store, removed the original fortunes with tweezers, then slipped the clues in, repackaged them, and left them with the restaurant for the kids to pick up!

Go through any fast food restaurant and convince the worker to give you an empty cup with their signature. Head to a specific library, find a certain book and solve the puzzle to find the next location. Racers incur a 5 minute penalty if called down by a librarian.

Will require planning ahead to create a puzzle. Also, be sure to choose a book with several copies on the shelf in case it is to get checked out before the race. Search a specified location for a clue envelope which contains letters to unscramble next location.

Go to a certain location and draw a specific object on the sidewalk with chalk provided inside the clue envelope. Take a picture of the team with the drawing.

Head to a specific monument or wall where there may be many names. Have the team search for the first name of the birthday girl or boy and make a pencil rubbing of it on the clue sheet. Go to the local bowling lanes where the team will have to choose one team member to bowl until they bowl a strike. If another team arrives at the same time, they must take turns. Arrange this with the bowling lanes ahead of time. You can rent that lane for an allotted amount of time to keep it open for the racers.

Head to a paint store and find a certain paint color. Hand the paint chip to the employee to receive the next clue. Go to a specific frozen yogurt or ice cream shop. One team member must be blindfolded and do a taste test conducted by the employee. When they have guessed the correct flavor, they get the next clue. Search around an iconic landmark for a clue. Drive to a donut shop, buy a half dozen donuts.

Must give away the donuts to 6 different complete strangers before receiving next clue. Provide the money in the clue envelope to buy the donuts. Hide the clues in Easter eggs in a specific yard for the racers to find. Include empty eggs for more of a challenge Send the racers to a specific location where they are required to sing a certain song before receiving the next clue. Pretty Project Features—March!
