You will be given pre-prepared instructions, directions to the ‘secret’ destination (their lunch location), and a series of trick, fun, and educational questions and riddles along the way, along with various challenges, tailored for all ages in the group. At the start of the race, teams will be given their first clue, which when solved will lead them to their next activity or task location. There will be various main activity points where each team will be required to attempt and execute a specific challenge to receive the clue to their next task/activity.
Additionally, throughout the race, there will be task locations where the teams will be required to collect specified items, document their day, and solve riddles in order to collect challenge necessities, clues, and team points.
Teams should assign their members to tasks/challenges wisely, based on each member’s strengths and competencies! This is very much a race, so the team that satisfactorily completes each challenge (according to established rules) and checks in with the designated staff member at the end of the race first, will be the official winner. Additionally, specialty prizes can be awarded for proficiency in individual challenges.
The driver/guide is at the guests’ disposal and is not aware of where the final destination is – it’s up to the guest’s navigation skills and creative thinking to guide the driver while collecting the necessary ‘treasures’ along the way. We guarantee to show you some of the most exquisite and unknown wonders of Barbados while on this amazing adventure of a lifetime!

Barbados Golf Club, located at Durant’s in the southern parish of Christ Church, has become the soul of golfing in Barbados for local players as well as hotel guests and visitors cruising through the Caribbean.
The course was approved and sanctioned by the PGA European Tour to host a PGA Seniors Tournament in 2003 and it has also hosted the Barbados Open on several occasions.
The golf course was reopened in 2000 after a period of reconstruction to the environmentally sensitive design specifications of Ron Kirby, one of the most respected and experienced golf course architects in the world. He redesigned the course to produce a fair, challenging, and pleasurable game for golfers of all levels of skill and competence.
The challenges, rewards, and scenic views of the course encourage players of all abilities to play with determination to hone their skills while enjoying the company of friends amidst tropical surroundings.
