AMAZING RACE CHALLENGE
This is far more than a team building event, this is the ultimate scavenger hunt wrapped up in an Amazing Race style challenge!
Teams will be provided with a variety of missions including finding clues and solving puzzles, shooting creative videos and photos, answering custom trivia, and facing off against other teams for head-to-head team battles!
Later that evening at dinner you’ll be presented with a hilarious review of the event and trophy presentation for winners.
TIME: 1.45pm - 4:00pm
LOCATION: Sheraton Princess Kaiulani (meet in the Ainahau Ballroom)
DRESS: Light, cool clothing, walking shoes
