What To Expect

The adventure begins in the heart of Times Square and takes you on a well-designed course around the Theater District, through Rockefeller Center and down along Park Avenue. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking, with numerous stops along the route to complete challenges and decipher clues. The game software tracks team points and posts the final score to a city leaderboard for those with a competitive edge.

Using a smart phone as “the guide” allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play, leaving time to stop for a bite to eat or simply to enjoy the best sights of the city. Great for families, friends and those ready to have fun on a scavenger hunt adventure!

Please note that pricing is per individual but your team must book together. One voucher is valid for your team of 2-5 people.
