Core offering

Fast Concepts designs, organizes, and runs interactive rally events (car rallies, treasure hunts, themed city games), team-building activities, and educational competitions. It also produces the annual 24 uur Waterstof Challenge, a 24-hour hydrogen-vehicle rally. Customers buy rally/event packages online or commission fully customized events (Maatwerk), and gameplay is delivered through the company's own Rijdoor platform with a digital Spelleider and Live Dashboard.

Product overview

Fast Concepts operates as an event organization platform rather than a traditional software-as-a-service product. Its portfolio consists of physical and digital event experiences: Rijdoor (car rally game), the 24 uur Waterstof Challenge (hydrogen vehicle competition), Connection Game (team building), Professor Proton (educational scavenger hunt), and custom event development. The Rijdoor platform serves as the underlying technology backbone, providing the digital game master and scoring system used across multiple offerings.
