Race Across the World: The Experience: TV show-inspired event opens in York offering a problem-solving adventure across city centre
Race Across the World: The Experience is a city-based event and has now opened in York where friends, families and groups can partake in a problem-solving adventure.
The event, hosted by CityDays, is open in York and launches participants into the world of the popular TV show.
Following the success of Race Across the World: The Experience in London and Manchester, players can now take on an adventure through the streets of York, involving puzzles, new routes and surprising twists around every corner.
Working within a team, competitors must outsmart their rivals while uncovering the hidden secrets of the city in a race to the finish line.
Just like in the show, the game requires strategy, teamwork and quick thinking; players are given a budget to manage as they race through the city, spending in-game cash to unlock clues and choose routes for the next leg of the journey.
Teams can decide whether to play it safe or take risks in search of victory, with every decision shaping the outcome of the race.
Players are scored based on how quickly they complete the challenge and how much of their budget is left. Final scores are ranked on a live leaderboard throughout the day and week, with the team finishing in the fastest time and with the most budget left crowned daily or weekly champions.
The adventure is split into three distinct legs that weave through the heart of the city, taking participants on a 4-5km mission across York that typically lasts two to three hours.
Along the way, the teams will discover treasures often missed by those rushing through the city on buses, while experiencing York in a new way.
The experience will take the adventure from the screen to the streets as teams race through storied snickelways and solve physical puzzles across three check points.
Participants will visit key partner venues, including renowned pubs, cultural hotspots, or famous landmarks, including The Shambles, York Minster and Dean’s Park, where teams must solve escape room-style puzzles.
These puzzles will guide them towards the next leg of the race, offering clues that unveil new parts of the city.
Tickets start from £20 per person and for further information, visit the Race Across the World: The Experience website.
