Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between CityRace and Race/LA?
Race/LA is a day-long, citywide event for teams of two, based loosely on The Amazing Race.

CityRace Urban Adventures are 3-hour, neighborhood specific clue-solving hunts for teams of 2, 3 or 4.

CityRace clues focus more on using brainpower, research and puzzle-solving skills whereas the clues in Race/LA often involve more navigation around the city and physical activities.

Can I change my date after I've registered?
If space is available, we can move you to another CityRace provided you notify us at least 48 hours in advance of your original event date & time. Sorry, but there are no exceptions to this rule and in all cases, no refunds.

I have an unused but expired Groupon voucher. Can I still use it?
Once a Groupon reaches its expiration date, it loses its promotional value, but in accordance with CA state law may still be redeemed at the price you paid for it as a credit toward any future CityRace hunt. Follow this link for redemption instructions.

Do you hold races in other cities?
In 2011 we held our first Orange County event in Laguna Beach - look for more new upcoming events next year!

How familiar with Los Angeles do I need to be?
If you're playing to win, being at least somewhat familiar with the neighborhood of your hunt will be helpful. If you're playing just to have fun, you don't need to be familiar with the area at all.

How long is a CityRace?
3 hours.

Can children participate?
Yes, but these hunts are designed primarily for adults, so some children might find the clues to be too difficult. Recommended for ages 14 and above.

Is running required?
Not at all, but it is an option.

Can I change my team partners after I've registered?
Yes. (but you can not have more than 4 people on a team).

Can you create private races and special events?

Do the winners get prizes?
