1 Go On a Sydney Scavenger Hunt

One of the best team building activities in Sydney for big and small businesses alike, a scavenger hunt through Sydney CBD ticks all the boxes.

Not only does it allow your employees to stretch their legs (did you know that walking can increase productivity by up to 50%?), it also requires equal participation from all team members to achieve their collective goal.

Watch as your teams disperse into Sydney CBD or a district of your choice on the prowl for clues, riddles and cryptic puzzles and be amazed when they return with hilarious photos, nuggets of trivia and improved relationships.

From picking team names to racing against the clock, the teams have plenty of opportunity to show some creative flair and powers of deduction. Let them loose and see what happens!

You walk down the same streets every day, park your car in the same spot (or try to, at least) or get off the bus at the same stop to go to work. But what about all the stuff you’ve missed?

It could be a plaque, sculpture, a piece of street art or even the secret history of a streetlamp, but the only way you’ll find out just how incredible your Sydney suburb is will be booking an Urban Adventure with us.

Unusual Facts About Sydney

While your business is busy delivering quality products and services in your unique area of expertise, we’re busy crafting trails and games that bring people together, challenge them, teach them a thing or two, and of course, allow them to have fun.

Our team building activities in Sydney are designed to do all of those things and take the pressure off of you, the organiser. Because that’s what we do.

We’ve helped numerous Sydney businesses craft their perfect team building days, and if you want a sneak peek at the effort we go into to do it, check out these unusual facts about Sydney…

1 Australia’s Oldest Road is George Street

A dirt road track established in 1788, George Street has been in operation since colonisation.

It’s also home to Sydney’s only remaining Victorian-era urinal, an ornately designed cast iron piece of street furniture that originally stood at Observatory Hill.

2 Sydney Town Hall is Built Above The City’s First Burial Ground

Around 2000+ people (convicts and free settlers alike) were buried there between 1792 and 1820 when it was deemed full. From then on, bodies were buried at Brickfield Cemetery, which we now call Central Railway Station.

3 Defunct Australian One and Two Cent Coins Were Used in Bronze Medals at The Sydney 2000 Olympics

When one and two cent coins were taken out of circulation in 1991, they were melted down and repurposed as Olympic bronze medals - 17 of which were won by Aussie athletes!

In case you’re wondering (or can’t remember, it was a while ago!) Australia came fourth in the overall tally of medals at the end of Sydney 2000.

4 Barangaroo’s Ashes Were Scattered At What Is Now Circular Quay

As a Cammeraygal leader of the Eora Nation, Barangaroo was a powerful Aboriginal woman who was outspoken against early British colonists.

When she died in 1791, following a traditional cremation ceremony, her husband Bennelong scattered her ashes at Governor Phillip’s Garden - nowadays known as Circular Quay - which is sandwiched between Barangaroo and Bennelong Point.
