Premium CBD challenge
What the challenge is like
City Rush is Cohesion's premium Adventure Race direction for teams meeting around Marina Bay, Raffles Place, IOI Central Boulevard Towers, or nearby CBD offices. Burnt Cones Gelato is the partner base; we still check the exact course, group flow, and wet-weather branch before final confirmation.
Partner base: Burnt Cones Gelato at IOI Central Boulevard Towers.
Use public-safe CBD observation missions, not shop purchases or tenant tasks.
Custom quotes start from SGD 1,200; final quote follows group size, route, weather, and facilitator support.

How City Rush runs
This is the event structure organisers can picture before enquiry. The exact route is still checked against the date, weather, crowd flow, and facilitator plan before final confirmation.
Base check-in
Teams gather at the Burnt Cones / IOI Central Boulevard partner base for attendance, grouping, timing, play-area boundaries, and weather-call briefing.
Role split
Each team assigns navigator, proof lead, clue reader, timekeeper, and comfort lead so the challenge is not carried by one fast walker.
CBD pulse leg
Teams complete public observation and clue tasks around the confirmed Downtown / Central Boulevard play zone.
Skyline clue leg
Use city-view, building-detail, wayfinding, or history-lite prompts that do not depend on entering private offices or disturbing shops.
Shelter branch
If rain, haze, heat, or crowding changes the game flow, switch to the shorter sheltered loop and reduce optional outdoor checkpoints.
Regroup and debrief
Teams return to the base for proof checks, scoring, debrief, and the next movement plan for lunch, awards, or office return.

CBD challenge zones to validate
Use these as planning zones, not a final race map. The final course should be walked, timed, weather-checked, and simplified before confirmation.
| Zone | Use | Course check |
|---|---|---|
| IOI Central Boulevard base | Meet, brief, release teams, regroup, and debrief. | Confirm date availability, waiting area, traffic flow, toilets, and whether the group can gather without blocking tenants. |
| Downtown / Central Boulevard links | Short first leg with simple wayfinding, observation, and QR/photo proof. | Check sheltered links, escalators, crowd peaks, and team release spacing. |
| Marina Bay-facing loop | Optional stronger race identity with skyline, waterfront, and corporate-district prompts. | Use only if timing, weather, heat, and walking-distance comfort are acceptable. |
| Raffles Place / Market Street side | Alternative CBD flavour for teams meeting closer to offices or lunch venues. | Avoid busy crossings, office-lobby dependencies, tenant questions, and purchase tasks. |
| Heavy-rain version | Compress the race into sheltered clues, base-side puzzle tasks, and shorter team loops. | This needs a separate clue card and hosted holding plan before the event is confirmed. |
Simple CBD plan
Make the CBD challenge practical
| Good to include | Better to avoid | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| One CBD base | Multiple changing start points | The base carries attendance, weather decisions, team release, scoring, and emergency regroup. |
| Observation missions | Asking tenants for answers | The challenge should work without external staff, purchases, or disruption to nearby businesses. |
| Sheltered fallback loop | All-outdoor course plan | CBD weather, heat, and crowding can change quickly; the fallback must protect people, not only the clue cards. |
| Team role design | Fastest walker wins | Corporate groups need participation, comfort, and navigation logic more than sprint pressure. |
Programme depth
CBD challenge colour
City Rush should feel like a curated CBD team challenge, not a loose scavenger hunt. Burnt Cones gives the race a friendly base, while the programme uses wayfinding, city-detail clues, and a shorter shelter branch.
Event rhythm
From arrival to debrief
- Partner-base welcomeTeams gather at Burnt Cones / IOI Central Boulevard, receive the play-area boundaries, choose roles, and leave in smaller batches.
- CBD clue legsTeams complete Central Boulevard, Downtown, and optional Marina Bay-facing prompts that do not depend on purchases or tenants.
- Regroup and debriefTeams return to the partner base for proof checks, scoring, photos, and the next move into lunch, awards, or office return.
Mission mix
What teams actually do
- Skyline or building-detail observation clue
- Central Boulevard wayfinding puzzle
- Team photo proof at approved public points
- Short sheltered-loop puzzle for rain or heat
- Optional gelato or post-race gathering brief if commercially confirmed
Team roles
How everyone joins in
- Navigator keeps the team on the approved walking course
- Clue reader slows the team down enough to solve properly
- Proof lead handles photo, QR, or answer submission
- Comfort lead watches pace, shade, crowding, and regroup needs
| Programme layer | What it adds | Keep it simple by |
|---|---|---|
| Base flow | Makes arrival, briefing, scoring, and regroup easier in a busy CBD setting. | Confirm waiting space, queue impact, toilets, and shelter before pricing. |
| Course branches | Lets the event choose a stronger skyline course or shorter sheltered loop based on the day. | Avoid crossings, office-lobby tasks, tenant questions, and purchase-dependent clues. |
| Premium route pricing | Gives organisers a from-price while still protecting the final quote from untested route, base, and facilitator assumptions. | Use the Essential, Corporate, or Custom tier after group size, date, timing, and course complexity are known. |

Five event checks
Build the brief in this order
- Choose the challenge styleDecide if the event should use Kallang Rush, City Rush, Office Rush, or a custom challenge that needs a separate check.
- Choose the start and return pointName the briefing, bag, scoring, emergency, and regroup area before adding checkpoints; for Office Rush, confirm the room and furniture plan first.
- Keep checkpoints public-safeUse observation, clue cards, QR/photo proof, and printed puzzles unless tenant or venue permission is confirmed.
- Build weather branchesPrepare sheltered, mixed, and heavy-rain versions so the challenge can be simplified without improvising everything on event day.
- Price it after checking the courseKallang Rush and City Rush can use from-prices, but the final quote should still follow walking flow, group size, weather exposure, route complexity, and facilitator support.
Red flags
Simplify before confirming
- The group wants a custom CBD challenge but there is no time to walk the course.
- There is no confirmed start or return point for briefing, scoring, bags, or emergency handling.
- The plan depends on entering shops, asking staff questions, making purchases, or blocking public walkways.
- Weather fallback only protects the clue cards, not participant movement and regrouping.
- The group is above 90 people but expects everyone to move through one small-group trail together.
- City Rush is being treated as final-price confirmed before the course and event support are checked.
- Office Rush is being planned in a room that cannot support teams, movement, scoring, or basic facilitator setup.
Game plan basics
Keep the challenge easy to run
| Good to include | Better to avoid | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed challenge and clue cards | New storyline for every group | A proven loop protects timing, safety checks, and quote confidence. |
| Public observation clues | Tenant tasks and purchases | The challenge can run without disrupting shops or relying on external staff. |
| One clear start and return point | Start and end points that keep changing | The base carries briefing, scoring, weather decisions, bags, and final regroup. |
| No-running rule | Fastest-team-wins framing | Mixed corporate teams need movement, role split, and observation more than sprinting. |
| Course check before final price | Instant arena-game pricing | Walking flow, facilitators, weather exposure, and public-space pressure drive the cost. |

Questions
Adventure Race FAQ
Is this the same as a generic city race?
No. Cohesion is positioning Adventure Race as a hosted checkpoint challenge with a defined base, game plan, weather backup, and custom quote process. Kallang Rush is the sports-precinct edition, while City Rush is the premium CBD edition.
Does Kallang Rush require running?
No mandatory running should be used. The stronger version is active walking, clue solving, observation, role split, QR or photo proof, and a return to The Cage.
Can Kallang Rush run for small groups?
The Basic package is designed for 10 to 40 people, from SGD 650 minimum or SGD 35 per person, whichever is higher. Final feasibility still depends on date, venue booking, course condition, and event details.
Is City Rush available now?
Yes. City Rush is available as a premium custom-quoted CBD Adventure Race for Marina Bay and CBD teams, with Burnt Cones Gelato at IOI Central Boulevard Towers as the partner base. Custom quotes start from SGD 1,200, and the final quote depends on date availability, walking route, weather backup, group size, and facilitator support.
What is Office Rush?
Office Rush is the office-friendly version of a mission challenge. It uses team missions, clue cards, light props, and hosted scoring without needing a major activity setup. Final feasibility depends on room setup, group size, timing, and customisation needs.
Will teams need to buy anything from shops?
No. City Rush and Kallang Rush should avoid purchase tasks, tenant questions, and shop-dependent clues unless a specific venue or tenant arrangement is confirmed in writing.
Why is this quoted differently from arena games?
Adventure Race events depend on walking loops, public-space conditions, weather exposure, facilitator coverage, and activity materials. Those inputs do not map cleanly to arena-game pricing.
