Think fast, work together, and explore Kansas City like never before! During the Amazing Race, your team will use a mobile app to unlock challenges, complete fun activities, and earn points while traveling along the KC Streetcar route. Every challenge is optional, so your team gets to create its own strategy—deciding where to go, which challenges to tackle, and how to maximize your score before time runs out.

Challenges include photo and video missions, trivia, puzzles, and unique experiences at landmarks and partner locations throughout downtown Kansas City. Whether you're racing for points, discovering hidden gems, or making memories with your teammates, every stop offers a new adventure.

The event is designed with age-appropriate race routes so every participant has an exciting experience:

No two teams will race the same way—the choices are yours. Will you go for the highest-value challenges, the easiest points, or the most adventurous experiences? The fastest team isn't always the winner—strategy, teamwork, and creativity are just as important!
