1. The document describes a team building activity called the Amazing Race Perth where teams from Schweppes competed in challenges around the city to test their communication, problem solving, and teamwork. 2. The first challenges involved a blindfolded activity and scavenger hunt around landmarks to find clues. Early leaders were the Red and Blue teams. 3. Later activities tested trust, portraying team dysfunctions in photos, and using ropes and benches to empty water bottles without touching them. The Red and Blue teams were innovative in their approaches. 4. The final challenges involved hailing a rare London cab, shopping with $10 in China Town, and eating their purchases at the finish. Blue team won

2. Schweppes - Amazing
Race Perth

4. The Amazing Race is all about putting teams
through their paces as they race around the city
tracking down information about their city, taking on
challenges that give a real indicator how they work
as a team and have a whole lot of fun doing it. For
this Amazing Race Perth challenge the activities

5. came from the outset as a sprinkling of rain came
from the sky and set the stage of a fast race where
the corporate team of Schweppes had to face
adversity and ask how committed they were to the
goal of reaching our coveted beyond the boardroom
medallions and probably a cold beverage.

6. The picturesque gardens of the supreme court
provided a great place to get the schweppes team
into their race. It was very evident from the
beginning that in the 29 crew that would participate
there were various competitive levels and with that
the tempo raised for the beginning of this Amazing
Race.

7. There is no better way to start a race than buy
testing the trust factor in the teams or the absence
of trust. As the rain fell harder the teams would
take on a blind fold challenge that would highlight
their ability to communicate without spoken
communication and to achieve the goal of
retrieving items by

8. working together as conga line. This challenge
always splits the teams with various strategies
and approaches to the task. Sometimes its a
matter of limited communication being the
downfall to downright laughter as all the teams
navigated their way to the all important first clue.

9. The outcome for schweppes saw all 5 teams track
down their items and then race off all directions so
it was very clear there were different strategies
going on even though they all had the same clue.
The first two legs takes them into a treasure hunt
of tracking down Perth history and significant

10. landmarks. You can learn a lot about a team is their
commitment to hug statues and pretend to be
kangaroos in the broad daylight in the CBD. Also
included is part of the race is to meet Perth’s most
famous TV star coffee maker Peter from Mini
Espresso to get their next clue.

11. At this stage the front runners were the
Schweppes Red team followed closely by the
Schweppes Blue. The remaining Schweppes
Green, Yellow and Black team were trailing behind
or choosing a different strategy. As they arrived at
Perth Concert Hall the 3rd Stage of the race the
first teams were reminded about the 5
dysfunctions of a team with a Roadblock Photo
challenge in which they were asked to put into a
picture one of the 5. All the teams were very

12. keep on portraying a fear of conflict with some
very funny photos. After this the teams were
asked to put their minds together and see what
personalities, strengths and weaknesses come to
the surfaced faced with a Water bottle and rope
challenge.

13. The aim being to empty the bottle without being
near it. The schweppes teams, especially team
Red and team blue were innovative from the
outset as they used the local park benches and
trees to create contraptions to achieve the goal.
While the black used full force and grunt and the
yellow team just wanted to shake, shake, shake.

14. With over 10 minutes between first and last it
would be interesting if we would have a change in
the status and see who would come out on top in
the last 2 legs of the race. As the racers went off
and did their best pilot impersonation, concert
pose and reveal their artistic geniuses in the
teams it would see Schweppes Red and Blue
arrive at a very busy Murray st Mall for a problem
solving challenge of fitting a member through a
piece of A4 piece of paper.

15. After the blank looks teams blue and red
consulted Dr google and came up with the answer
in quit time. The remaining three teams also
arrived about 10 minutes later not closing the gap
on the frontrunners, but achieving the challenge in
quick time.

16. The final leg of Amazing Race is the final test of
the teams and their commitment to a task as they
have track down one Perth’s famous London
Cabs and make their way to purchase the most
unusual delicacy they could find in China town just
over the bridge to Northbridge and only using $10
for both. Their true commitment would be tested
and heroes arise as they would have to eat these
purchases at the finish line in front of their
colleagues.

17. Sometimes luck follows a team and this certainly
would be difference and determine the eventual
winner today with a London Cab pulling up after
the team had purchased their item and say you
need a lift. The other teams were so fortunate
trying to track down there rare cab experiences.

18. As the hours had passed and the km certainly
clocked up the teams arrived at the flash bar of
the Stables on Hay st and much to my surprise
the first bandannas i laid eyes on was the colour
of blue, but would they have chosen the fastest
and cleverest strategy only time would tell. Soon
after was the

19. Schweppes Red teams and then quite a gap back
to the green team, black teams and finally a whole
25 minutes later the yellow team which couldn't
track down that elusive London Cab.

20. As the artworks poured in, the answers and the
many creative modes of transport the results of
the Schweppes would pan out like this. Bringing
home the wooden spoon were the team in Yellow
with strategy that didn't quite work out for them,
however includes the most modes of transport
including hotel luggage racks, wheelie bins and
more. Coming 4th were Schweppes black, not
without taking out the prize for best artists.

21. Schweppes green closed the gap on the
frontrunners, but their strategy just didn't quite get
them into contention for the prize. So it came
down to the most competitive teams all day and
they were Schweppes blue and red. And after
their strategies were calculated, the answers and
their problem solving prowess it would see a last
leg victory by Schweppes blue and maybe that
little bit of lady luck at the end would be the
difference.

22. The Schweppes team were full of smiles, a lot of
laughter and few interesting insights about their
teams and overall really satisfied with a great
afternoon where the rain did become sunshine
and another Amazing Race was put in the record
books of Beyond the Boardroom.
