How City Rush runs
Here is how a typical City Rush session runs. We check the route, date, weather, expected crowds, and number of hosts before confirming your plan.
Base check-in
Meet at Burnt Cones in IOI Central Boulevard for check-in. We organise the teams and explain the route, timing, boundaries, and weather plan.
Role split
Share the jobs: read the map and clues, record answers, keep time, and check that everyone can keep up.
Explore the CBD
Teams follow clues and look for details in public areas along the confirmed Downtown / Central Boulevard route.
Look up for clues
Solve clues about the skyline, building details, directions, or local history from public areas.
Switch to shelter if needed
If rain, haze, heat, or crowds affect the route, we can use a shorter sheltered loop and skip optional outdoor checkpoints.
Regroup and debrief
Return to the meeting point to check answers, hear the scores, and talk about the race before heading to lunch, awards, or back to the office.

Areas we can include
These areas may be part of your race. Before confirming the route, we walk it, check how long it takes, and plan for the weather.
| 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 | A short first stretch with navigation clues, details to spot, and QR scans or photos to record answers. | Check sheltered links, escalators, crowd peaks, and team release spacing. |
| Marina Bay-facing loop | An optional stretch with clues about the skyline, waterfront, and business district. | Use only if timing, weather, heat, and walking-distance comfort are acceptable. |
| Raffles Place / Market Street side | An alternative route for teams meeting nearer Raffles Place 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 | A single meeting point makes it easier to check attendance, start teams, announce scores, and gather everyone if plans change. |
| 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 | Give teammates different jobs, such as reading clues, navigating, and recording answers, so everyone has a way to contribute. |
How the day works
Clues around the CBD
Meet at the Burnt Cones partner base, then head out to solve clues around the CBD. Teams find their way using maps and details in the city around them. A shorter, sheltered route provides a backup when needed.
The schedule
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 answer 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 photos at approved public locations
- Short sheltered-loop puzzle for rain or heat
- Optional gelato or a gathering after the race, if included in your confirmed quote
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
- One teammate handles photo, QR, or answer submission
- Another teammate watches pace, shade, crowding, and regroup needs
| Programme layer | What it adds | Keep it simple by |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting point | Makes arrival, briefing, scoring, and regroup easier in a busy CBD setting. | Confirm waiting space, queue impact, toilets, and shelter before pricing. |
| Route options | Allows a route with skyline views or a shorter, sheltered walk, depending on conditions. | Avoid crossings, office-lobby tasks, tenant questions, and purchase-dependent clues. |
| Premium route pricing | Shows a starting price. The final quote depends on the route, meeting base, and hosts needed. | 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 pointChoose where teams will meet for the briefing, leave bags, and return for scores or in an emergency. For Office Rush, check the room and furniture layout first.
- Plan considerate checkpointsUse clues, observation tasks, QR scans, photos, and printed puzzles. Tasks involving a business or venue need permission first.
- Prepare a backup for bad weatherPrepare 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 have starting prices. We confirm the quote after checking the route, group size, weather plan, and number of hosts needed.
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. Adventure Race is a hosted checkpoint challenge with a meeting base, planned games, a weather backup, and a custom quote. Kallang Rush takes place around the sports precinct; City Rush explores the CBD.
Does Kallang Rush require running?
No running is required. Teams walk between checkpoints, solve clues, share tasks, and submit answers through QR scans or photos before returning 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. We price these events separately from games held in one arena.
