NEW Real life amazing race coming your way!

<< < (5/5)

@Rachel thank you so much for the feedback!

We really hope this takes off and we can expand to large college towns.

We have not wanted to do Groupon because of how much money they take out of it. We have reached out to local businesses and local media and plan to promote the races over radio and podcasts. We are working on NPR right now :-)

we have an app in development but for now we will use our website and people on site at checkpoints for clue delivery.

Your race design ideas are really great! I agree with you. We think a variety of people will want to do our races. Hopefully many TAR fans but also people who want to see cities and explore and get a REAL sense of them, not a hop on hop off bus.

We will never run the same race twice and will always have new ideas. We are working with local businesses. I go into DC this week to meet with some really cool prospects that I cannot wait to see how it turns out. :-)

Thank you for the great ideas. I shared your post with our team on slack and they all loved it.

This sounds like a creative, engaging, awesome idea!

Will the race ever visit non-cities? For example- Vail, CO, isn't a "city" (population 5,000), but it's a beautiful destination and there's a lot of cool things to do there.

We would like to do area races but will need to get enough signups. We need over 200 people to cover our costs with our current model. :-)

I have not been to Vail, though, so maybe I should go scout it soon ;-)

This looks super cool! Reminds me of a race I did with my family in Cabo San Lucas, except a lot better!

I've hosted three small-scale real life Amazing Race games with my friends years ago, so if ever you come to the Philippines you can def contact me! ;) Haha! I'd like to join your team! lol
