Keep your ‘Traitors’ and ‘Great British Bake Off’. I’m obsessed with ‘Race Across the World’. Tears, triumph and home-truths in astounding locations, what more could you want from the TV experience? And now the high-stakes race against the clock is coming to Bristol this spring
‘Race Across the World: The Experience’ offers players the chance to live out their jet-setting dreams by navigating the streets of Bristol, 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 are 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.
“We are delighted to be bringing the Race Across The World Experience to three brand new cities across the UK, including Bristol,” Tom Rymer, Founder of CityDays, said. “New puzzles, new characters, new decisions and new discoveries, all coming soon over three new thrilling legs. Bristol, are you ready for your race?”
How does ‘Race Across the World: The Experience’ work?
It’s essentially a high-stakes race against the clock where players are scored on their time and how much budget they have left. With final scores ranked on a live leaderboard, complete the challenge in the fastest time with the most budget remaining and earn a shot at being crowned the daily or weekly champions.
Split into three distinct legs that weave through the heart of Bristol, the race takes participants on a 4-5 km mission through this iconic city, typically spanning 2-3 hours. ‘Race Across the World: The Experience’ highlights the treasures people miss while speeding through the streets on buses.
Taking in renowned pubs, cultural hotspots, and famous landmarks, the likes of Bristol Cathedral, Corn Exchange, Temple Gardens, and Princes Wharf will each serve as a ‘checkpoint’ where teams must solve clever, escape room-style puzzles. Solve these, and it’s on to the next leg of the race!
