In Short, Midnight Madness is an immersive Overnight Fundraising Challenge Across London.

Puzzle-solving meets pure adrenaline in this high-stakes overnight adventure—for a truly brilliant cause.

Midnight Madness is our most legendary event to date: a 12-hour, city-wide puzzle race across London that blends cryptic clues, immersive theatre, and physical challenges—all in the name of charity.  It started in 2018, continues every year and is open for any company to join!

Think Da Vinci Code meets Crystal Maze, powered by 40+ actors, hidden tech, secret locations, and a fully immersive storyline. From dusk ‘til dawn, teams of sharp minds race across the city, solving riddles, cracking codes, and completing surreal live challenges, all while raising life-changing funds for disadvantaged children in the UK. 

What Makes It Special?

It's an overnight race through London packed with brain-taxing puzzles & live-action theatre. 

120+ participants from companies including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bridgewater & DE Shaw.

A unique mix of team-building, competition, and chaos—with real impact.

£564,000 raised in 2023 for exceptional children’s charities through Raise Your Hands.

The Experience

Picture this: teams sprinting down alleyways by torchlight, wizards lurking in archways, monsters solving riddles on rooftops. It’s surreal. It’s intense. It’s the best night of your working year.

Why It Matters

More than just a wild night out, Midnight Madness raises funds to support children and young people across the UK. Players fundraise in the lead-up, often backed by their companies, to make sure the experience is as impactful as it is unforgettable.

In 2023, Midnight Madness raised £564,000—a life-changing amount that enables Raise Your Hands to expand its work and help even more small charities doing vital work.
