How To Play?
The contestants are required to have smartphones, which they will use to receive clues and input their answers to the Gamemaster.
On the day of the race, the teams will receive the location of the starting line where they will be introduced to the game by the Gamemaster himself. Once they've all been briefed on the game, the Gamemaster will send them the first task, which the teams will need to read carefully and decipher the fastest way to complete the challenge.
Once all levels have been completed, the teams will receive the location of the finish line.
To celebrate our 3rd year, we have teamed up with what3words an app which simplifies communicating locations and attributing addresses all over the world.
But, be aware, penalties are attributed to teams who disobey the rules. This can change the outcome of the order the teams arrived at the finish line.
