The Amazing Heritage Race is Food Playground’s latest product, a fun activity that gets teams racing through Singapore’s heritage-rich Chinatown while picking up interesting knowledge about local culture and feasting on popular local eats.

Concept This three-hour outdoor activity combines good food, cultural immersion and fun experiential learning.

Participants are placed in teams and must wind through Chinatown following route markers, overcome road blocks and work through unique challenges, fun detours and a variety of interactive tasks.

The skills and cultural diversity of team members will come through as they have to work closely to solve the various challenges and obstacles in a race against the clock.

MICE application Food Playground can arrange this activity for group with 12 to 60 people. The programme can be customised to accommodate special dietary needs and include Halal, vegetarian or gluten-free food items.

The duration of the race can also be tailored to group’s preference.

The Amazing Heritage Race is also not confined to Chinatown. Groups can choose to race through Tanjong Pagar, which is another heritage enclave within the CBD.

In the event of light rain, disposable ponchos will be provided. The race cannot be conducted in extreme weather conditions and an alternative indoor cooking programme will be activated.

Rates from S$80 (US$60) nett per participant.

For groups desiring a full-day programme, Food Playground can pair the Amazing Heritage Race with a half-day team cook out.

Service The Amazing Heritage Race is hardly the run-of-the-mill races I’ve experienced. Furthermore, what’s there not to love when the activity blends cultural showcase with food and fun games?
