Race Description

In Tower Escape, participants take on a themed mission that combines running, exploration and strategy. Players navigate to checkpoints scattered around the map, unlocking objectives and collecting points while managing risk and planning their route.

Each participant or team must decide which checkpoints to visit and in what order, balancing speed with strategy to maximise their score before returning to the finish location. The event works like a life-sized board game played across the city, where every decision and route choice can change the outcome.

The challenge is designed to be competitive but social, with runners and players often gathering afterwards to compare strategies and discuss the game.
