Discover your inner Sherlock, call on your savvy accountant friend and brush up on your general Bristol knowledge. This Race Across The World Experience will turn the maritime city’s historic streets into a certified game board. The hit TV show is brought to life, on a slightly smaller scale, so you can step into the shoes of intrepid contestants who’ve graced the screen and see how you’d fare in the real thing. You can sprint – or stroll – through the city, solving mind-warping puzzles, gazing up at iconic landmarks, managing your virtual budget and unlocking surprises to reach the checkpoints. The question is, will you be the fastest to slap your hand on that glorious guestbook?
What can I expect at The Race Across The World Experience in Bristol?
The BBC’s hit show Race Across The World is back on our screens, leaving us once again gripped – and occasionally groaning – as teams race through unknown territory with nothing but their wits and a small budget. This official live experience takes that much-loved concept and rolls with it, but with a few more local twists.
For starters, this is strictly a foot race, so you won’t need to navigate public transport or splash out on taxis once you start. Second, it will take approximately two to three hours, so I’m afraid there’s no luxury hotel waiting for you at the finish line, but you can always pop into a pub for a celebratory pint. Third, you can race how you wish, so it can either be a leisurely, fun way to explore Bristol or a high-stakes, adrenaline-charged battle to snatch victory from the hands of your friends in a rival team – up to you.
Along the way, you will encounter a series of escape room-reminiscent codes and puzzles, which you will need to decipher before you can progress to the next step. These clues can also be the key to shortcuts and surprises, so be wise – or willing to sacrifice a few precious pennies from your virtual budget. There are three checkpoints in total, with a chance to stop at each for a breather, time to implement a new plan of action and a bevvie, if you fancy. If it helps, the experience also offers exclusive discounts at these venues.
Whether you are looking to climb the leaderboard as an elite urban explorer or simply want to discover some of the city’s most unique and storied spots, the Race Across The World: The Experience is an exciting day out that all ages can enjoy. Plus, it could even be a chance for any of you locals to show off your encyclopaedic knowledge of the city.
