What is Competitours?
Assemble Your Team
Eleven teams of two embark on an 11-day mystery itinerary across Western Europe, tackling daily surprise challenges for a share of up to $6,600 in cash prizes awarded to the top three teams. Inspired by The Amazing Race, but designed for everyday adventurers—no extreme eating, grueling physical feats, or high drama. Destinations blend vibrant cities, charming villages, coastal spots, and mountain escapes, revealed just 24-36 hours in advance.
The Challenges
Challenges are unpredictable, designed to push boundaries and uncover hidden talents. Emphasizing creativity, resourcefulness, and spontaneity over speed or fitness, they ensure a level playing field for all ages. Teams choose from personalized options or compete head-to-head, focusing on personal growth and immersive experiences in local history, culture, cuisine, and crafts.
