For 24 years, UCF Outdoor Adventure’s Adventure Race has challenged teams to think fast, work together, and push beyond their comfort zones. In 2026, the game evolves.

Adventure Race 2026: Escape Jumanji transforms the OA Adventure Race into a campus-wide strategy game inspired by Jumanji, The Amazing Race, and Survivor. Teams of four will navigate UCF’s campus, solving riddles and unlocking locations where they’ll face a mix of physical, mental, and teamwork-based challenges. Each completed challenge earns points, and how you choose to play matters just as much as how fast you move.

This is not just a race to the finish.
Teams must decide:

• How to maximize their points in each challenge
• How to manage time and energy
• When to push forward and when to pivot

Some challenges may test strength and endurance. Others will reward communication, creativity, and problem-solving under pressure. The teams that escape Jumanji won’t be the fastest - they’ll be the smartest, most strategic players.

How to win:
The team with the highest total points at the end of the game wins. Strategy, adaptability, and teamwork will determine who escapes.

All participants will receive a free giveaways and be entered to win prizes at the finish. This event is free and open to currently enrolled UCF students.
