Player Stories

"I've always wanted to be on Survivor, but taking weeks off work isn't realistic. RealityRushNYC gave me the authentic experience in just one day! I formed alliances, won an immunity challenge, and even got blindsided at tribal council. The rush was real!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be athletic to participate?

Not at all! While there are physical challenges, we design our experiences to test a variety of skills. Strategy, social gameplay, and puzzle-solving are just as important as physical prowess. There's something for everyone!

Can I sign up with friends?

Absolutely! You can apply as a group for Survivor (though you might be placed on different tribes), or as a team of two for Amazing Race. Just mention your friends in your application.

Is this specifically for LGBTQ+ participants?

While we're proud to create a space that's especially welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community, our experiences are open to everyone! We do try to ensure each event has a good mix of participants so that everyone feels included and represented.

What about food and breaks?

While we keep the experience immersive, we build in meal breaks (themed, of course!) and regular rest periods. Survivor includes a "camp life" section with food, and Amazing Race has designated pit stops. Water and snacks are always available.

How much of the experience is filmed?

We have a dedicated videographer capturing highlights throughout the day. We edit these into short reels for our Instagram and provide participants with access to a gallery of photos and videos. You'll get your reality TV moment!
