Thinking about taking on Race Across The World: The Experience with your family in London or Manchester? We don’t blame you!
One of the best things about adventures is that you’re never too old to have one, and as long as you’re an adult*, who you do your adventure with is up to you!

That said, there are a few things to consider when you sign up for a cross-city race with your family (whether that’s just one of your siblings or your whole clan).
We’ve asked our previous teams to impart some of their wisdom about how they found doing the race with their family members. Here’s what they told us…
*Tickets are only available to over 18s and children must have an adult accompany them on the experience.
You’ll Need Teamwork to Make The Dream Work
Race Across The World: The Experience has been designed with adults in mind, but people of all ages will have a great time on the Race.
The puzzles vary in difficulty, some will appear straightforward whereas others take some thinking about, but with a bit of cooperation, you’ll get to the finish line!
Here’s what Team Mums & Sons said:
“Loved doing the Race Across London. Saw bits of London we’d never seen. A few clues were a bit tricky especially the work ones with children…… but we got to the end.”

Don’t Worry About The Screen-Time (For Once!)
If your heart sank when you read that Race Across the World: The Experience incorporates phones, we’ve got some great news for you.
Yes, the experience relies on players using WhatsApp to deliver directions, but the game itself is happening outside of the phone.
Here’s what team The Patels had to say about it:
“Honestly one of the best things we’ve done as a family in a long time! The kids (12 and 14) really got involved and it felt like genuinely amazing family time, whilst exploring a more hidden London…It was all so well planned and organised and the interactivity with our phones was a pleasant and welcome surprise; I never thought I’d be encouraging the kids to be on them!”

Four-Legged Family Members are Welcome Too!
If you can’t bear the idea of going on an adventure without your canine companion, now is the time to breathe a sigh of relief.
Race Across The World: The Experience is a guide dog and dog-friendly activity, so bring them along! Maybe you could even combine it with a special event, like Team The Lesters:
“A perfect way to spend a family day out and celebrate Mum's birthday. Good for all ages and dogs!”

Share Unforgettable Moments Together Without Going Abroad
Time is one of the most precious assets we have and finding some to spend with our loved ones can be very arduous (and expensive!).
However, Race Across The World: The Experience is now available in London and Manchester, so hopefully, you won’t have to travel too far to access the experience.
Plenty of our teams have told us they’ve discovered something new about their hometowns, and we want everyone to have the chance to do the same!
Here’s what Team Driven-By-DNA had to say:
“We had the most fantastic time, with lots of laughs, and time spent together. A great way to enjoy a Father’s Day event with my amazing daughter! ♥️”

Adventure Isn’t Age Specific
It isn’t easy finding an activity that keeps everyone entertained, especially not when you’re catering for tots, tweens, teens, and their parents, guardians and grandparents at the same time!
Luckily, Race Across The World: The Experience has been given the teen seal of approval by many racing families, including Team Mind The Banter:
“Great day out. Kept all eight of us entertained (4 adults & 4 teens). Good mix of clues and saw some new parts of London. Lots of breaks if you want them and discounts and bars / restaurants. Definitely recommend.”
And not forgetting Team Ginga Extraordinaire:
“Great afternoon racing around the City of London, solving riddles and seeing old haunts. Kids loved it, everyone engaged, what's not to like!?!”
And, finally, Team Birketts on Tour:
“Brilliant fun The children loved it and it was such fun as a whole family getting out and doing something different!”

You Don’t Need to Be a Fan of The Show to Have Fun
Race Across The World: The Experience is the official live experience of the hit BBC TV show, but even if you’ve never seen an episode, you’ll almost certainly have a great time anyway.
After all, the experience is all about discovery, adventure and doing something a little out of the ordinary, and that ticks just about everyone’s boxes.
Take it from Team Ube, who told us:
“Coming from someone who has not watched the shows and was essentially roped into doing this…I thought that this was great fun! I particularly liked visiting bits of London I never knew existed.”

But You’ll Make a Fan’s Day By Giving It a Go
It almost goes without saying that even if you do need to be “roped into” trying the experience, presumably the person who has invited you along thinks you’ll make a great teammate. And you can take that as a pretty huge compliment, if you ask us.
Here’s what Team The Wilson Boys said:
“Great experience. Went with my son who loves the show and it did not disappoint. Was like a very innovative scavenger hunt.”
