What recipients can expect
The official live experience, Race Across The World: The Experience Manchester is a high-stakes, clue-solving adventure across central London.
It’s a foot race (no public transport allowed!) and teams have to rely on their wit, fellow teammates and puzzle-solving skills to get from point to point.
Teams race through three thrilling legs, solving puzzles, managing a virtual budget, uncovering hidden gems and taking on optional 'work' challenges to boost their funds.
Every decision counts and the fastest, savviest teams earn a spot on the live leaderboard...and maybe even a prize!
FAQs
No! Just as no two cities are the same, neither are these experiences. You’ll get three new physical puzzles to solve, new characters to meet and new routes to unlock wherever you decide to race!
We’ve taken what you love most about the show - competition, discovery and suspense, and thrown in some surprises along the way.
You’ll find core elements of the show like budgeting, strategising and teamwork, just wrapped up in a fast-paced, high stakes foot race!

Race Across The World: The Experience is a live adventure split into three legs.
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.

That’s for you to decide! Either sign up as a group and split into teams to race
head-to-head, or stick as a group and compete against the overall leaderboard.
Whatever you choose, this is a private experience and you’ll only be playing with people who you want there.

The experience lasts about 2-3 hours and, along the way, you’ll have the chance to rest up at checkpoints (the race timer stops!). Allow more time if you want to spend longer at checkpoints.
We recommend arriving at the start location at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.

The Experience is a foot race, and involves 2-3 hours of walking across 5 kilometres
(3.1 miles).
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.

Once your game begins, the clock begins! You’ll be notified when the timer is paused for
the optional breaks, so feel free to relax there.
If you’d prefer a leisurely walk, no problem, ignore the timer! It’s your race!

Unfortunately not, the experience is completed on foot in London/Manchester. That said, you’ll walk about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) in total, and you’ll be amazed at the different areas you’ll visit and cultures you’ll find!
No, sorry locals! You’ll need to put your thinking caps on as firmly as non-locals to win this one.
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.

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.
The only people this experience isn’t designed for are solo adventurers because it’s all about teamwork.

Aha! Trying to plan ahead are we? Well, unfortunately for you, just like in Race Across The World, you’ll only be able to be one step ahead of the game at any given time.
Rest assured, we’ve found some incredible places for you to explore, and all of them are located within Central London.

You’ll only ever be playing with your team(s) on your booking, although you may see some other groups dashing around looking suspiciously like competition.
Just focus on your own race, you’ll only interact with opponents outside of your booking when you see the leaderboard after the race.

It’s never a bad idea to check the weather forecast before you head out on your adventure, so make sure you’re protected from sun, rain, and any other precipitation the elements may throw at you.
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.

No! The minimum team size for the experience is two players and the maximum per team is eight players.
There are lots of route variations that depend on your choices within the race, unfortunately we aren’t able to guarantee you’ll take different routes. Physical puzzles at each checkpoint would remain the same.
Teams on the same booking will automatically receive a private leaderboard website link. This will be provided within the race messaging once your game begins.
Each team may have a different start location (even on the same booking), but teams on the same booking will always finish at the same end location.
By all means, you’re more than welcome to bring your four-legged teammate along! Make sure to select the dog-friendly route, guide dogs can be present on any route.
