It's your time to race!
Race Across the World: The Experience is the official live experience of the award-winning hit TV show, brought to life in a high stakes adventure where strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking are key to success.
The streets are your playground. Every route you take, decision you make, and virtual penny you spend will change the outcome.
Will your team’s choices make or break your race?
No maps. No public transport.
Just you and the city beneath your feet.
Such a brilliant day out, better than we had expected. We saw parts of London we didn’t know existed and had great fun doing so. Highly recommend for a couple as a date or even a family day out.
A whole lot of fun exploring London. Got more competitive as we bumped into other teams and the running started. Great to be able to stop the clock at the end of legs so you could take a break and reset yourself. Can’t wait to try another one asap!
It was such a terrific day! We had done the London one a few months before and found the Manchester race to be really unique and much more challenging. Although we didn’t succeed with a win, it certainly built up our resilience!
A fantastic experience full of interesting puzzles and tasks. Loved the concept and cannot wait to do another one.

FAQs
You’ll get new physical puzzles to solve, new characters to meet and new routes to unlock wherever you decide to race.
You’ll use WhatsApp to receive clues and directions, manage your virtual budget and track your progress on the leaderboard, but the adventure takes place on real city streets in real time.
Visit our How It Works page for more in-depth information.
You’ll race entirely on foot, and how you get to and from checkpoints will be decided by your in-game choices. You’ll also solve physical puzzles, “buy” directions using in-game currency and discover hidden gems along the way.
If you want to play head-to-head against another team of your choice, ensure you purchase multiple teams on the same booking. You will then be able to set up your teams via your dashboard.
Otherwise, you will be matched with other random participants and race on an overall leaderboard.
● Multiple route options catering to a broad range of needs including step-free routes.
● Players will interact with the experience through their own devices, ensuring they are familiar with the interface they are using, and its settings are tailored to their needs.
● Free tickets are available for accompanying carers/support workers - please email [email protected] for these.
Children will need guidance and support from adults to solve the clues and navigate the route.
Selecting the "Family-Friendly" option at setup doesn’t alter the race’s difficulty, but it does ensure your checkpoint stops are suitable for families.
The minimum age to purchase tickets for the experience is 18+. All players under 18 must have a paying adult accompanying them on the race.
Along the way, you’ll have the chance to rest up at checkpoints where the race timer pauses. Allow more time if you wish to spend longer at checkpoints.
If you want to run, we won’t stop you–but if you’d prefer to take your time and soak up the sights, we support that decision too! No matter your speed, you’ll get the chance to relax, grab refreshments and rest up at checkpoints.
You need no local knowledge, and if you have any, it won’t be of much use to you. You’ll be navigating between checkpoints on foot, and it’s all about discovering and making choices that affect your race.
The start and finish locations are near public transport links for ease of access.
You’ll only play with your team(s), although you may see others racing nearby! If you are a large group please reach out to [email protected] and we’ll help with the booking.
For group bookings (more than one team), one person should book on behalf of all players to ensure that all players end up on the same booking.
No matter the weather though, wear comfortable shoes - there’s a fair bit of walking involved, and you don’t want aching feet to dash your hopes of topping the leaderboard.
Please fill in this form (https://citydays.com/alter-booking/) so we can rearrange the date for you. You will receive a reply from us via email once we’ve actioned your request.
Physical puzzles at each checkpoint would also remain the same.
