The Event

Entry Form

Coming to London on the 11th May 2019, Midnight Madness is a series of cleverly camouflaged, incredibly ingenious and devilishly difficult puzzles – the answers to which indicate the location of the next puzzle, and so on, until the finish line. Teams will compete all night, hunting for, solving, and executing puzzles embedded in the urban landscape of London. The winning team will be the first to cross the finish line.

The Event is based upon its highly successful namesake that took place in New York in 2015 and raised $3.1m for charity. Both creators of the New York version, Mat Laibowitz and Elisha Wiesel are fully on board with the London 2019 version. We thank them for their advice and guidance.

Testimonials

Contact Midnight Madness

“It’s tough to imagine any other event taking you to an underground rave club and a boxing gym, performing mime on the south bank of the Thames, running full pace over a deserted Tower Bridge at 2am and attempting to work out the parody of famous films whilst sat outside an NCP car park and this being only a small part of what you did that evening. Like nothing else I have ever done.”

Richard Thomas, MM18 Team Captain

“That was one of the best night’s of my life”

Ewan Kirk Founder and CIO of Cantab Capital Partners which is now part of GAM Systematic

“You’re not just behind a desk; You’re not running some marathon course that everybody else is running; You’re not just sitting at a high society dinner; You’re out in the world being an intellectual athlete.”

Elisha Wiesel Chief Information Officer Goldman Sachs 

“Easily the best fun I have had in London in the witching hour. Cycling madly across Hyde park to make the final line as the sun was coming up was an exhilarating experience. But the experience of opening a nondescript door to find myself immersed in strange sounds and sights, surrounded by odd characters beckoning me into otherworldly vistas was something that will stay with me forever”

Tim Dinsdale, MM18 Team Captain

Putting on an event like Midnight Madness is a massive task. It wouldn’t be possible without these guys:

Sharky & George A Door In A Wall The Exploration Society

There is an injustice in the charity sector: it is not a meritocracy. The top 1.2% of charities in terms of turnover receive 72% of the money donated in the UK*. One assumes that money would flow to those that were most in need. However there are hundreds of exceptional small charities that struggle for funding simply because they don’t have the time or resources to fundraise effectively for themselves. Raise Your Hands finds small effective charities working with children across the UK, conducts due diligence on them, monitors them and raises money for them.

The RYH charities are specialists in their areas, helping children with HIV, children at risk of suicide, children that have been bullied and children that have lost parents, amongst others. In 2016, over 85,000 young people across the UK accessed the services of the RYH supported charities.

By participating in Midnight Madness, you are supporting the under dogs of the charity sector in the UK, easing their fundraising struggle, and enabling them to focus on what they do best: improving the lives of disadvantaged children across the UK.
