The Amazing Race format, built for business. Clue-driven, clock-against-you corporate races through South African cities, wine estates, game lodges and conference venues. Designed around your people, run by professional facilitators, finished with a debrief that turns the adrenaline into insight.
Dream Team Catalyst has created team experiences for
No two races are the same. We design the route, the clues and the challenges around your venue, your numbers and what you want your people to walk away with.
Teams crack clues, negotiate with locals, find hidden landmarks and complete challenges as they move through the city on foot, by Gautrain or by shuttle. The streets become the boardroom, and every team discovers something about the city and about each other.
Run entirely on the grounds of your hotel, wine estate, bush lodge or golf estate. Ideal for strategy sessions and away-days where you want energy without the travel.
Parallel waves and staggered routes keep big groups moving. Challenges can carry your conference theme, strategy pillars or product messages.
A premium, travel-based race for top performers and leadership teams, with surprise checkpoints, special experiences and a finish worth celebrating.
GPS-triggered challenges, photo and video tasks and a live leaderboard on every phone, so you can see the race unfold in real time and relive it afterwards.
Teams tear open clue envelopes, choose their battles, back their teammates and sprint for the checkpoint. Every challenge is designed around your venue and your people.
Clue envelopes send teams to the next location, often with a puzzle to crack before they know where to go.
Two tasks, one choice. Teams weigh speed against skill and decide together which challenge to take on.
One team member only. The team has to decide who's best suited before they know what the task is.
Complete one bold challenge and skip straight to the checkpoint. Only the first team to claim it gets it.
A strategic twist: force a rival team to complete both sides of a Detour. Use it wisely.
Check in, get your placing on the leaderboard, and gear up for the next leg, or the final dash to the finish.
You tell us what you need. We take care of the route, the props, the facilitators, the safety planning and the logistics on the day.
We learn about your team, your goals, your date and your budget, then recommend the right format.
We build a custom route and challenges around your venue, theme and business messages.
Our facilitators brief the teams, run every checkpoint and keep the leaderboard live.
Results, awards and a facilitated debrief that connects what happened on the route to how you work.
A race puts teams under friendly pressure with a clear goal and a ticking clock. That is where real collaboration, leadership and communication show up.
Teams must plan, divide tasks and adapt as clues change. Patterns that slow work down become visible, and fixable.
We mix departments, regions and levels so people who never work together end the day relying on each other.
The debrief links race-day moments to your workplace, so the energy translates into behaviour back at the office.

Races run for groups from about 20 people up to 1,000 or more. Large groups race in parallel waves or on staggered routes so every team has its own experience.
Most races run for two to four hours including the briefing and the finish. Full-day and multi-day formats are available for conferences and incentive trips.
Anywhere in Southern Africa: city routes in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, or inside a hotel, wine estate, game lodge or conference venue.
No. Challenges mix thinking, creativity, problem solving and light activity, and each team decides who takes on which task. Routes can be fully adapted for accessibility.
Yes. Clues, challenges and the debrief can be built around your values, strategy, product launch or conference theme.
Four to six weeks is ideal for a custom race. Shorter lead times are often possible, so ask about your date.
