Description
For the first time ever CityDays are opening up one of their large-scale free-roam games to the public. Players will receive a digital map of London dotted with challenges that can only be solved on the day and from the city streets.
On Sunday 6th August 2023, teams will gather at Piccadilly Circus ready for a 2 hour race across the city. At 2pm, teams will set off en masse to complete as many challenges as possible and make it to the finish zone before time runs out. Here, grab a snack or drink and share your experience with competing teams. A mystery prize will be gifted to the team that tops the leaderboard.
Expect confounding riddles, bizarre architecture, historic sculptures, silly photo challenges and some of the city’s best and most surprising hidden gems. The game will be hosted on our app but will take place in the real-life streets, squares, parks and passageways.
Teams should be made up of 2-5 people, children can accompany adults free of charge. The game is fun for both locals and visitors alike. Hints are available to help with tricky clues but, beware, these come at a points cost. The champions will likely avoid them. Or maybe they won’t, savvy use could lead to a higher score…
Ready for a one-off multiplayer escape game experience through the streets of London? Book your place today, download the app and get strategising.
Only one team can win, will it be yours?

Who are CityDays?
CityDays are trusted game designers who run acclaimed urban treasure hunts around the world. In combining the best parts of escape rooms and walking tours, they have created a unique way of exploring remarkable cities.
From humble beginnings, they have grown to make hunts in cities across three continents, helping locals and tourists alike gain a newfound appreciation of the cultural and architectural quirks around them.
On top of this, they now make bespoke team day events for some of the world’s biggest brands. These reimagine the traditional treasure hunt concept into massive multiplayer free-roam games across real-life environments.
And now these city-wide experiences will be coming to the public. As with their previous hunts, teams will compete head-to-head to solve puzzles and challenges in the streets in an attempt to top the leaderboard. Except this time it’ll be happening in real-time and a mystery prize will be on offer for whoever wins the day.
