What if winning a cash prize wasn’t down to luck—but your own skill, strategy, and problem-solving ability?

In this episode, Ben speaks with Quest Comps founders Paul Williams and Jaime Cox about their new competition concept that combines adventure, puzzles, public transport, and real cash prizes. Inspired by shows like Race Around the World and traditional competition sites, Quest Comps is creating challenges where contestants race to solve clues and reach the finish line first.

The conversation explores their first event, Race to London, where participants travel from Berkshire to Central London using only public transport, uncovering clues along the way. Paul explains the vision behind the business, why he wanted to move beyond luck-based competitions, and how future quests could expand across the UK—and even around the world.

Jaime shares his thoughts on marketing the concept, the growing demand for real-world experiences away from screens, and how Quest Comps hopes to support charitable fundraising through future events.
