Fancy a festive foot-chase? This autumn, you can find yourself dashing through the luminescent streets of London, deciphering puzzles and unlocking seasonal surprises, at Race Across The World: The Experience – The West End Christmas Special. Bringing the much-loved show to life with a twinkling twist, this limited-time edition will plunge you into the light-strung labyrinth of Soho, Covent Garden and Mayfair for a holly jolly adventure where teamwork will make or break you, the (virtual) budgets are brutal, and you are simply a step away from success or second place.
Race Across the World: The Experience
What can you expect at Race Across the World: The Experience – West End Christmas Special?
Don’t wrap up too cosy; this is one way to keep warm during the most wonderful time of the year – particularly for the competitive among you. Race Across The World: The Experience fuses the thrill of the chase and the city’s spellbinding festive celebrations, with three checkpoints that will showcase some of the most magical spots in London.
Over the course of two to three hours (depending on how much you desire victory), you will work in teams of 2-8, dodging through meandering crowds of Christmas shoppers to find a series of clues that will ultimately lead you to the secret guestbook. Along the way, you can channel your inner Sherlock – or accountant – as you take on mind-bending puzzles and carefully manage your virtual budget in order to discover mysterious shortcuts and routes.
This is a perfect experience to add an extra dash of festive dazzle to your city exploration. You’ll not only be able to enjoy London’s spectacular Christmas decor and mesmerising lights, but you’ll get to make some memories with friends and family – and discover how you might fare on the hit show. In fact, you could spend the day racing through the city and the evening curled up in front of Celebrity Race Across The World 2025, which is currently airing every Thursday on BBC One.
