FAQs
Youâll get new physical puzzles to solve, new characters to meet and new routes to unlock wherever you decide to race.
Youâll 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.
Youâll race entirely on foot, and how you get to and from checkpoints will be decided by your in-game choices. Youâll also solve physical puzzles, âbuyâ 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.
â Multiple route options catering to a broad range of needs including step-free routes.
â 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.
â 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 doesnât alter the raceâs 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, youâll 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 wonât stop youâbut if youâd prefer to take your time and soak up the sights, we support that decision too! No matter your speed, youâll get the chance to relax, grab refreshments and rest up at checkpoints.
You need no local knowledge, and if you have any, it wonât be of much use to you. Youâll be navigating between checkpoints on foot, and itâs all about discovering and making choices that affect your race.
The start and finish locations are near public transport links for ease of access.
Youâll 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 weâll 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 - thereâs a fair bit of walking involved, and you donât 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 weâve actioned your request.
Physical puzzles at each checkpoint would also remain the same.
