A real-world racing game for teams

Race through the real world.

Take the bridge, not the tunnel. Checkpoint 3 is behind the church and it is worth double.

How a team plays

One team, two seats.

Every team splits into someone who runs and someone who navigates. Neither can win alone, which is the whole point.

The runner

Out on the streets with the GeoRacer app. Their position streams to the map, checkpoints check in when they arrive, and photo challenges are shot straight from the phone.

Home base

At a laptop with the full picture. Sees the runner's trail and every checkpoint, picks the route, and talks them through it over voice.

Optional: questions between checkpoints

Half the clue on the phone. Half on the laptop.

Add a question set and each leg draws a puzzle the pair can only solve by talking. Points for every correct answer, a bonus for a clean leg.

For the organiser

From idea to starting gun in an afternoon.

01

Build the course

Drop checkpoints on the map and give them points, or start from a public checkpoint set someone else has already walked.

02

Share the code

Teams join with a six-character code or a QR scan, pick a team, and choose runner or home base. Nobody creates an account.

03

Start the race

Give every team its own route order so nobody follows anyone. You watch all of them on one map, pause if you must, and call the finish.

Start your first race.
