The game concept

An offshore regatta that fits into any conference room

In the Atlantic Ocean Race, your teams take on the role of a sailing yacht crew. The espoto app guides them on their journey from Gran Canaria to Martinique – but the action goes far beyond the screen.

Digitally guided

Story, puzzles, clues and scoring are managed through the espoto app.

Hands-on challenges

Knots, boat building and rescue manoeuvres bring real teamwork into the game.

Racing together

All crews cross the Atlantic at the same time and compete for victory.

The game flow

26 days across the Atlantic in 90 minutes

One continuous storyline instead of a loose collection of tasks: from taking over the yacht to crossing the finish line.

The challenge mix

It takes more than great puzzle-solving skills to win

Knowledge, dexterity, creativity and organisation constantly alternate throughout the game. Different people can contribute their individual strengths to the crew.

Knowledge & logic

Analyse radar data, decipher Morse code or find the right route through the harbour.

Calculating & estimating

For example, determine the actual amount of drinking water required for an Atlantic crossing.

Dexterity & hands-on skills

Tie knots, build a sailing boat or throw a life ring.

Creativity

Collaborative photo and video challenges add variety and create lasting memories.

Organisation

Completing 26 challenges within a limited time requires teams to divide responsibilities and make decisions together.

There is no single type of player who automatically wins the Atlantic Ocean Race. A successful crew needs a variety of strengths.
Live regatta

Watch the race unfold

During the game, the progress of all teams can be displayed on a large Atlantic Ocean map.

Every completed challenge moves the crew’s yacht closer to the finish line. This turns the score into a visible journey – and multiple teams into a real regatta.
