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 find core elements of the show like budgeting, strategising and teamwork, just wrapped up in a fast-paced, high stakes foot race!
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.
Whatever you choose, this is a private experience and you’ll only be playing with people who you want there.
● Multiple route options catering to a broad range of needs including but not limited to: wheel-chair accessible routes, routes optimised for those with sight impairments such as colour blindness, audio-free routes for those with hearing loss.
● 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.
We recommend arriving at the start location at least 15 minutes before your scheduled start time.
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.
If you’d prefer a leisurely walk, no problem, ignore the timer! It’s your race!
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.
For group bookings (more than 2 players), we recommend one person should book on behalf of all players. Once booked, you will be able to split players into desired teams.
Rest assured, we’ve found some incredible places for you to explore, and all of them are located within Central London.
Just focus on your own race, you’ll only interact with opponents outside of your booking when you see the leaderboard after the race.
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.
If you like competing, exploring, walking, discovering new places, or spending time with people you love most, this is for you!
