Whether you’re a fan of the BBC series, someone who loves a challenge, or just looking for something different to do with friends, Race Across The World: The Experience is well worth adding to your 2025 calendar.
Here are just six reasons why…
1. There’s Something For Everyone
No one’s the best at everything and that’s exactly the point.
Race Across The World: The Experience is a test of wits as well as speed (that is, if you even want to race to the finish line, it’s not compulsory!).
Some parts of the experience require logical thinking, others rely on observation and a few might ask you to get hands-on. Whether you shine at solving riddles, cracking codes, navigating, or negotiating with your team, there’s plenty of space to play to everybody’s strengths.
There’s also the budget to contend with, so bear that in mind…
2. Anyone Can Play
Race Across The World: The Experience is designed to be played in teams of 2 to 8 people, so the opportunities for getting friends, family or your workplace together are almost endless.
The experience is also accessibility-friendly and carer tickets are available upon request.
Hens, stags, birthday celebrators, weekend revellers, bored commuters and everyone in between are all welcome to play! There’s no need for specialist knowledge or superhuman fitness: just bring your curiosity, a bit of energy and a sense of adventure.
3. It’ll Help You Fall in Love with London Again
Whether you live in the UK capital or not, there’s no denying London is one of the greatest cities in the world.
But Race Across The World: The Experience will introduce you to a whole different side of it.
You’ll journey through lesser-known corners, past hidden gems and around iconic landmarks, all with a new perspective. Even if you’ve lived in London your whole life, you’ll leave with fresh stories to tell.
4. No Passport or Annual Leave Required
As amazing as it would be to jet off around the world, not everybody has the budget, time or capacity to do so. But you don’t need to worry about that.
Race Across The World: The Experience takes around three hours to complete and is entirely based in central London. Whether you play after work, on a weekend, or make it the centrepiece of your day off, you pick your time slot and make the race your own.
Think of it as an epic adventure, just, without the stress of visiting an airport.
5. A Great Excuse to Have Affordable Fun
Following on for that last point, adventures can be expensive endeavours.
Luckily, Race Across The World: The Experience tickets are set up to be accessible, with flexible pricing and timings available.
You’re probably also wondering about that budget we mentioned earlier. Well, here’s confirmation: yes, there’s an in-game currency element. Your team will be given a virtual budget to manage as part of the gameplay, which means strategic spending is part of the challenge (but there are no actual hidden fees involved).
You can’t buy your way out of trouble (but you can buy food or drink at an optional checkpoint, if you wish).
6. It’s Perfect for Team Building
You might not want to think about work while you’re gearing up for fun but let’s be honest, it’s about time the office did something fun for your next team away day.
Race Across The World: The Experience offers the perfect mix of problem-solving, collaboration and competition. It’s engaging, fast-paced and encourages everyone to contribute in their own way. And, of course, it’s a great way to claim some bragging rights that are (obviously!) rightfully yours.
