What would you
get if you
combined the
book The Da
Vinci Code, the
movie National
Treasure and the
reality show The
Amazing Race?
You would get a
competitive
sightseeing
tour, a
challenging game
and a scavenger
hunt called
TheAmazing
Los Angeles Race
– a surprising
adventure and a
guaranteed good
time, even if
you have lived
in Los Angeles
all your life.
Though this is a
great way to
play tour guide
while
simultaneously
entertaining
out-of-town
guests, locals
will enjoy the
sites and sounds
of LA as seen
through the eyes
of this
competition as
well. Families
that play
together stay
together, and
what better way
to bond than
while leaving
your rivals in
the dust of your
tracks as you
zip around
Hollywood
boulevard, The
Walt Disney
Concert Hall and
other various
landmarks?
One clue after
another devious
clue will lead
you and your
team of 2 to 8
people to
various So Cal
locales. The
majority of the
race is run, as
a race should
be, on foot – or
public
transportation.
If you have not
yet taken the
subway, you
will. It is very
green you know!
Not only will
you work your
body, but your
mind too as
these clues can
be tricky. No
worries though,
assistance is
always a phone
call away, but
of course comes
with a cost by
way of a time
penalty. Four or
so hours after
you start you
will cross the
finish line. If
you happen to be
the team that
crosses the line
in the least
amount of time,
bragging rights
and a cool
t-shirt are
yours. A small
reception
follows the end
of the race with
snacks,
refreshments and
camaraderie as
you trade
stories with
your fellow
players about
your escapades.
Immersive and
interactive,
this is really a
cool way to
spend a day. So,
do it to win. Do
it to bond. Do
it for some
quality family
time. Do it to
see our fair
city. Whatever
your reason, to
quote a tennis
shoe commercial,
just do it.
You’ll be glad
you did.
