Following the launch of Race Across the World: The Experience in London and Manchester last year, CityDays have announced that Race Across the World: The Experience will be coming to three new locations; Edinburgh, Bristol and York, this Spring.

This high-stakes experience offers players the chance to live out their Race Across the World dreams by navigating the streets of these historic cities, working as a team, outwitting their competitors, and unlocking the hidden secrets of the city in an unforgettable race to the finish line.

Just like in the show, the experience requires strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking, as players will be given a budget to manage as they race through the city. This budget can be spent on valuable clues to help navigate the next leg of the journey, giving players the freedom to decide how daring they want to be. 

It's a high-stakes race against the clock, where every decision counts and influences the race, but could also come at a cost. Players will be scored based on their time and how much budget they have left, with their final score ranked on a live leaderboard throughout the day and week. The team that completes the challenge in the fastest time with the most budget remaining will earn a shot at being crowned the daily or weekly champions.

Split into three distinct legs that weave through the heart of the three cities, the race takes participants on a 4-5 km mission through this iconic city, typically spanning 2-3 hours. Like Studio Lambert’s format, Race Across The World, this experience highlights the treasures people miss while speeding through the streets on the trams and buses.

Along the way, the experience will visit key partner venues, including renowned pubs, cultural hotspots, or famous landmarks, racing through The Shambles in York, The Corn Exchange in Bristol or up to the castle in Edinburgh, each serving as a 'checkpoint' where teams must solve clever, 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 true discovery of hidden gems.
