When it comes to teambuilding, today’s workforce is looking for more than just icebreakers and boardroom games. They want experiences that are engaging, purposeful, and memorable. Adventour’s Garden Odyssey at Gardens by the Bay delivers exactly that — a dynamic outdoor teambuilding programme inspired by the Amazing Race, set against the stunning backdrop of Singapore’s most iconic green space.
What is Garden Odyssey?
Garden Odyssey is not your typical race. It’s a strategically designed corporate teambuilding adventure where teams must collaborate to overcome challenges scattered across Gardens by the Bay. Each checkpoint features a unique activity that requires teams to think critically, communicate effectively, and work as one unit to succeed.
This experience combines fun and professional development, helping organisations strengthen team dynamics while giving employees a chance to connect in an inspiring outdoor environment.
