ABOUT THE GAME

Race to the Finish allowed viewers at home to team up virtually with an In Real Life on-air challenger. Viewers created avatars and then played and accumulated virtual points on the real life challenger’s behalf. The two challengers with the most points at the end of season two’s run had the chance to compete in an exclusive In Real Life bonus webisode finale for a brand new prize. Ultimately, it was the fans who determined which two challengers participated in this exciting bonus final challenge.

While the second season is over, players can still access the game and re-visit the excitement of season 2 and the webisode finale at:http://inreallife.ytv.com/#/home/.
