Dash Across The Globe is a virtual travel activity that requires you to follow the journey and complete tasks by methods such as watching videos, exploring maps and searching the internet for answers that will take you to the next stage of the trip. At certain points you’ll be asked to make a decision which will impact your budget and your final position – there are 8 possible endings! It’s a bit of fun but you may also accidentally learn something, or get some travel inspo on the way too…

Dash Across The Globe was created by me – Chelsea! I run a cheap holiday website and Instagram and have spent the last few months helping people rearrange their trips or get refund. So, I thought I’d make something that may allow them to dip back into travel, albeit virtually! It’s also a fun way that my followers can support me if they’ve found my work useful or even saved money thanks to it!

You’ll need to read the information on each page before either clicking ‘Next’ or completing a task. Tasks could be watching a video for clues, exploring a map, or simply searching the internet for the answer! At some points you will be asked to make a decision which will impact your onwards journey.

You can play with someone else using the same device or you can challenge others who can play on their own devices! There are three ways to play against others:

• Simple: Hit play and see which position you end up in. Who can rank the highest?
• Timed: Start the clock and it’s not about what route you take, it’s about who finishes the whole thing in the fastest time.
• Competitive: Fancy more of a challenge? Compete to see who picks the quickest route AND who finishes it in the quickest time combined.

You’ll receive all the details about how to play each of these ways once you’ve purchased.

You can play along on either a computer, laptop, phone or tablet. Each work well in their own different ways and so if you have options, perhaps open up the activity on each of your devices to see which one you prefer. I personally like playing it on my laptop because I can easily search for answers in new tabs but then again, I do find playing videos is super easy on my phone!!

There are some videos you’re asked to play (to help you get a feel for the places you’re virtually visiting!) and whilst most questions ask for something visual, for some, you will need to listen out for answers. Therefore, you may want to either play the audio out loud or through headphones. If you’re not able to, or would rather not, you can find the answers for that particular section on the tips page.

I’ve created a tips page that explains all the tasks and gives you the answers too. Of course, you’ll feel much better about yourself if you manage to complete it with no help!

There is no bad language in the activity itself but I do link to third party content which ultimately, I do not have control over. Also, there are a few references to alcohol throughout.
