Most city races don’t require a lot of thinking – you start in one place, finish in another, and the route’s usually pretty clear. CitySolve is something completely different. Working in teams of 2-4 people, racers scour city streets following clever and witty clues from point to point. You need both brains and brawn to succeed here, but if you’re not a runner you can get around by public transportation. You’re not allowed to bring anything that would give you a speed edge like a skateboard, though. Each race typically takes between three and five hours, but the fastest solvers can get it done in two. Even better, winners get a $300 cash prize. There are also prizes given for funky costumes, family teams and more. Past races have taken place all over the country, and the fascinating historical landscape of Philadelphia will lend itself perfectly to the event. Tickets are $55 per person but there are discounts available. Click here to learn more about the CitySolve Urban Race!
