Following the launch of Race Across the World: The Experience in 2025, CityDays are delighted to announce that tickets are on-sale for Race Across the World: The Experience Edinburgh, ahead of the launch later this spring.
Those who sign up to the waitlist will be able to access discounted presale tickets from Tuesday 10th March giving them 20% off and 48 hrs of exclusive booking ahead of general release on Thursday 12th March.
This high-stakes experience, which has previously launched in London and Manchester, offers players the chance to live out their Race Across the World dreams by navigating the streets of Edinburgh, 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 Edinburgh, 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 buses.
Along the way, the experience will visit key partner venues, including renowned pubs, cultural hotspots, or famous landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle, Grassmarket, Circus Lane and the Scott Monument, 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 a true taste of Manchester’s hidden gems.
Tom Rymer, Founder of CityDays, said: “Following huge success in London and Manchester, last year we are delighted to be bringing the Race Across The World Experience to three brand new cities across the UK, including Edinburgh.
“New puzzles, new characters, new decisions and new discoveries, all coming soon over three new thrilling legs. Edinburgh, are you ready for your race?”
Jane Sharp, VP Formats and Licensing (Operations) at All3Media International commented: “Race Across the World celebrates new discoveries and new destinations – so we are thrilled to continue our successful partnership with City Days’ as three new cities – Bristol, York and Edinburgh – open routes for Race Across The World: The Experience this spring!
“With six routes launching across five cities in under a year, it’s fantastic to see how adaptable the experience is—and just how strong fans’ appetite for adventure has become.”
Perfect for groups of friends, family, or colleagues, CityDays’ Race Across the World: The Experience in Edinburgh promises a fun, fast-paced, and surprising day out. Whether you’re an avid fan of the show or simply looking for a unique way to explore the city, this experience is set to deliver a thrilling new way to discover Edinburgh on foot.
