Great for all ages. We were seeing friends from Australia who have an 8 year old girl, we have boys 12,13. We all worked in the City of London for many years and marched past all these hidden gems. We found every bit of it so interesting. Can’t wait to do the West End next.

An awesome day. Walking the trail, seeing places in London that you have never come across before and meeting other teams enjoying the same experience. Such fun and would definitely recommend to anyone of any age.

Great fun....although tricky in one or two places to work out clues

A great experience!!

Absolutely brilliant day, saw bits of London we didn't know existed despite it being on our doorstep! Already planning our next adventure!

Fantastic day with over 17,500 steps done, definitely recommend anyone giving this a go

Fantastic experience! We did it as a family team of 6 adults. Really well organised and thought out. Stopped off at some great pubs & cafes that we’d definitely visit again. Visited all kinds of hidden places we wouldn’t have known about. Such a lot of fun.

Excellent

A whole lot of fun exploring London. Got more competitive as we bumped into other teams and the running started. Great to be able to stop the clock at the end of legs so you could take a break and reset yourself. Can’t wait to try another one asap!

We had a fabulous time, absolutely brilliant. We had a great laugh and hope everyone enjoyed the race as much as we did!!!

Absolutely fabulous experience! We really enjoyed the whole day. Would highly recommend!

What an incredible day! We took part as Team Matthews myself, my wife, and our daughter and had the best time. The whole experience was so well organised, exciting, and immersive. Racing through London solving clues and cracking cryptic messages made us feel like we were really part of the show. We loved it so much we’ve already bought it as a gift for a friend, it’s the perfect day out!

We had a really great day out. Very well organised and a lot of fun. Will definitely be doing this again and recommend it to friends.

Fabulous fun! We saw parts of London we didn’t know existed. A really great way to spend an afternoon with friends. Oh and great for clocking up the step count!

Fantastic experience, took us to places we’ve never been before and would go back again! Really good day! Thank you!

FAQs Solving your doubts

Is the experience the same in every city?

No! Just as no two cities are the same, neither are these experiences — you'll get new physical puzzles, new characters and new routes wherever you race.

How does the race work?

It's a live adventure split into three legs. You race entirely on foot between checkpoints, using WhatsApp to receive clues and directions, manage your in-game budget, and track your progress on the leaderboard — all on real city streets in real time.

How long does it take?

About 2-3 hours without breaks — the fastest completion time is under 1 hour if you want to get competitive. The race timer pauses at checkpoints, so you can rest and take longer if you like.

How physical is it?

It's a foot race involving 2-3 hours of walking across 3.5-4.9 kilometres (2.2-3 miles) around Bristol. You can walk or run — either way, you'll get to relax and grab refreshments at checkpoints.

Is there a minimum age?

You must be 18 or older to purchase tickets, and an adult ticket must be bought alongside any Child ticket. Children under 10 go free. Selecting the "Family-Friendly" option doesn't change the difficulty, but ensures checkpoint stops are suitable for families.

Does the race involve public transport?

No — you race between checkpoints entirely on foot, without using public transport. Start and finish locations are near transport links for easy access.

Is it accessible?

Yes. There are multiple route options including step-free routes, the game runs on your own device so the interface is one you're already familiar with, and free tickets are available for accompanying carers or support workers — just email in advance to arrange.

How many people can be on a team?

Each team has a minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 8. For bookings with more than one team, one person should book on behalf of everyone so all players end up on the same booking.

Can I change the date or time of my booking?

Yes — we do our best to be flexible and are happy to reschedule where capacity allows. Fill in the alter-booking form and we'll confirm by email once it's sorted.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes! Just select the dog-friendly route while setting up your race. Guide dogs are welcome on any route.

What if I don't have a great time?

Let us know why and we'll refund you in full.

Do I need to know the show to enjoy it?

Not at all — fans will spot a few Easter eggs, but newcomers will have no trouble understanding the rules. It's a game for everyone.
