A carnival of team challenges
Teams rotate through a series of novelty Olympic events, collecting points at every station. Think giant games, silly relays and precision challenges rather than anything resembling a real athletics meet.
Rotation is what makes it scale: with enough stations and hosts, hundreds of people can play at once without a queue. Team colours, a running scoreboard and a presentation at the end do the rest.
Mini Olympics is our go-to for school carnivals, fundraising days and big corporate family events, and works on a field, a beach, a park or a large indoor space.
Great for
- Large groups
- Schools and fundraisers
- Outdoor spaces
What to expect

How it runs on the day
The Mini Olympics is planned with you in advance. We agree the number of events, the teams and the venue, then build a running order that fits the time you have — anything from a two hour tournament to a full day of competition.
On the day it opens with a proper ceremony: teams parade as nations with flags and a torch before the flame is lit. Teams then rotate through classic sports with a twist and some gloriously silly skill challenges, collecting points before the medals are handed out on the podium.
Available Australia wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast and regional locations.
Bringing a whole company, a conference or a school? Corporate team building covers larger groups and full-day programs, conference programs run across multi-day agendas, and school events cover colour runs, challenge days and fundraisers.
Questions about the Mini Olympics
The things teams ask us before booking. Anything else, call 1300 044 197 or send an enquiry.
Plan on 2 – 4 hours. We build the running order around your program, so the Mini Olympics can slot into a conference session, hold its own half day or stretch into a longer format.
Our standard range is 20 – 200+ participants, and we can stretch beyond that with extra hosts and waves. Everyone is placed in a team, so nobody is left watching.
You will be on your feet and moving for most of the event, with plenty of walking. Comfortable shoes are the only real requirement, and we adapt challenges for anyone who needs a slower pace.
We build the route or course around your start and finish, whether that is your office, a park, a beach or a hired venue. Anywhere with a bit of space and a few landmarks works.
We watch the forecast in the week before your event and call you if it looks marginal. You can go ahead anyway, postpone without penalty with at least 24 hours notice, or pivot to an indoor version of the same event.
Send an enquiry with your date, headcount and location. We reply with a clear quote and a plan for the day, usually within one business day. Accepting the quote and paying a 30% deposit locks in your date.
