Aalto Amazing Race 2022 is here!

Aalto Amazing Race is a wild, adventurous race aimed for the first year students in Bachelor’s and Master’s in Aalto, where the fuksis and master’s fuksis get to meet other Aalto students across different disciplines. During the adventure, teams propagate forward by solving various puzzles and hidden clues while battling against time. A glorious afterrace event awaits those who make it to the finish line.

The participants are divided into interdisciplinary teams by the organizers. If you want, there is a possibility to pick a single friend to join your team with you. The race itself begins on Thursday 27.10. Teams will be sent out with short intervals starting from 15.00 at Otaniemi, where they will gather their team and get the first clue.
