In the latest example of the brand name doing a lot of heavy lifting, prepare yourselves for the Race Across The World Experience: London. Prepare to live out everyone’s favourite bit of the RATW format: the bit where they’re following instructions from their GPS device to get to the hotel. Will your relationships survive? Will you lose your passport on a bus? Will you have to work in a bar to earn a couple of quid?
The race takes participants on a 4-5 km mission through the capital, typically spanning 2-3 hours. Players will pass through key partner venues, including renowned pubs, cultural hotspots, or famous landmarks, each serving as a ‘checkpoint’ where teams must solve escape room-style puzzles. These puzzles will guide them toward the next leg of the race, offering clues that unveil new parts of the city, “all while providing a true taste of London’s hidden gems.” (Quote from Televisual)
It’s basically any citywide treasure hunt but possibly with higher production values. What it isn’t really is Race Across the World.
