Now you can try the playable experience for yourself, but with one major difference: the race will take place exclusively within London.

Whether you're a fan of the reality show or you simply just want to explore more of the UK capital, this is the ideal experience for you to try out. Here's everything you need to know.

What is Race Across the World: The Experience?

If you're family with the TV show, then this immersive experience will be a piece of cake. Much like the original TV show, the Race Across the World Experience is a high-stakes race against the clock.

Participants will be challenged to work together as a team, navigating their way through the iconic streets of the UK capital. You'll be competing against rival teams as you manage your team budget, and in-game cash can be exchanged to unlock alternative routes and clues, while "work" task can be exchanged for in-game cash. How your team races is up to you.

Your team's end score will depend on how quickly you complete the race and how much of your budget you have left. The team who finishes in the fastest time with the most budget will be crowned champions.
