How it Works
Imagine playing an escape room game, but instead of solving puzzles to escape a locked room, you're now outside and racing alongside other teams!
​
Your registered group will have your own start time, but that doesn't mean you'll have the course to yourselves - we'll be sending in a new team every 6 minutes. Although you'll be racing against the clock, you'll still earn that adrenaline rush as you strive to overtake other teams.
​
Just like an escape room, we estimate the race to take roughly 60 minutes to complete.
STEP 1 - Register
Register your team of 3-6 players at our booth next to Giant Tiger on the day you'd like to run it and choose from the day's available start times. Your time will start whether or not you are there, so make it your first challenge to be at the starting mat on time!
STEP 2 - Race!
You'll also be given a quick briefing of race details and rules before you start, so that you all have a common understanding of the game's format.
​
Just like the TV show, you'll be given a clue-card to start your race. Make sure to read all your clues properly! There are real clue-boxes to find - but you may notice an Escape Room spin on this new version of the race!
STEP 3 - Photo Op!
Our staff will take a team photo of your team in front of our photo wall. We will forward this photo to your team captain's email address that we've collected before the race.
Water Bottle
This is a timed event, so it's up to you if you want to wait in line for lemonade, but we'd recommend bringing your own water bottle, you'll be running (or moving as quickly as you can) and you're going to want to stay hydrated!
Phone
Someone on your team should have a phone with them. It will be handy to take notes, pictures, and possibly to help if you get stuck or lost.
Shoes
We recommend a good set of running shoes, however, there are no rules regarding footwear. Wear what's most comfortable for you.
As Little Else as Possible
We do not provide a locker to store your extra items, you'll have to take everything with you--so plan ahead and either stash your goods in your car before coming, or have a bag you are willing to carry everything around in.
