When the girls arrived, they were assigned to a colored team and asked to design their own team bandanas with fabric markers. I made 25 plain bandanas with squares of fabric in 5 different colors.
We choose the teams ahead of time making sure that the members of each team knew each other well. With 25 guests we knew that we couldn’t manage teams of 2 like they have on the show. Our clue boxes were made from a simple sheet of black construction paper folding in half and stapled to a Route Marker (A Printable route marker is included with the clue card printables). Make Simple Clue BoxesĮach challenge area had a prominent clue box with the challenges inside and a crew member manning it who handed out the route info to the team once they completed their challenge. It will save you so much stress on the day of the party. That’s why I really advocate having a party schedule. I ended up being right on time with nearly everything. I was able to schedule the rest of the party with much more accuracy. But I’m so glad we spent the time to do this. This turned into a literal “run-through” so we were tired at the end. Each team would start at a different point in the circuit but all would end up in the backyard once they had accomplished all the challenges.Īfter we planned the challenges and the route on paper, my husband and I did a complete walkthrough adding the time we thought it was going to take to complete each task. That way I only had to create ONE circuit. “IMPORTANT: If you’ve already been to the challenge above, make your way directly to the Pit Stop Mat in the backyard.” Then, every Route Info card they were given after that had this note at the bottom: We found these great yellow #10 envelopes online and they worked perfectly. So, the first envelopes for each team contained a map and a Route Info card directing them to the challenge they were supposed to start with. Once they went around the 5 challenge circuit, their instruction was to go back to the backyard. We decided to send each team to start at different challenge as to not have too many bottlenecks.
We had 5 teams and so created 5 challenges. We had challenges in our backyard, inside the house, and a couple in the nearby park. Plan the Route WellĮach team was given a map with their first route info card. With my husband manning one of the challenges, this freed me to inspect the Road Blocks and Detours while the race was going and make sure everything was running smoothly.
So I asked 4 of the guests’ moms to be Crew Members on the day of the party and manage 1 part of the route. There was no way to manage the Amazing Race challenges without help. Mine will save you time and aggravation and you can get the Ultimate Birthday Party Planner for your next birthday party from my shop or sign up to my email newsletter below and get a chance to buy it at an exclusive discount. You don’t have to use my planner but I’d encourage you to find one you like. I created my Ultimate Birthday Party Planner during this party and it saved me an amazing amount of time and stress because I knew that I had everything laid out in front of me and I hadn’t forgotten anything. It got everything out of my head and onto paper in an organized manner. With all its moving parts, having a birthday party planner for this party was invaluable. And so on, until one team has completed all the challenges and can go to the Pit Stop mat. They complete the challenge then check in with the Crew Member who gives them their next Route Info card. The challenge cards are all the same and you’ll need one for each team. There, they find a Clue Box with the challenge cards inside. The main idea is this: A team gets a Route Info card, goes to where the card tells them to go.
