My boyfriend and I had a great time with this!! Def a family oriented place but great for couples as well. The riddles were the best! Make sure not to just rush through the clues and enjoy all the exhibits.

Hi to all, We just did the scavenger hunt around the Flat Iron district and it was great fun, which provided us with the opportunity to have a new eye on our city. We really loved it and highly recommend it to everyone, but more specifically to New Yorkers.

This was a great trip!! My family and I toured Greenwich Village, and all of us - boys, girls, kids, adults - got involved. It was great to see the historical sites at our own pace and without a boring tour guide. It was also loads of fun to be running around on a scavenger hunt! we split up into...

I did this for the first time last month in the Village and had such a fun time! We were a group of about 12 people, split into 2 teams of 5-6. My parents were visiting from Normandy, so I had to find something fun and wholesome that we could do as a family. It was suuuuper fun, and I...

The Game was super. To be able to take 3 teens into the city and have a good time WITH them was great. Clues were just challenging enough, and just educational enough w/o being over the top. Only wish I'd know it was that good- would have allotted more time and finished the whole thing! Try it!

My husband and I have been to New York several times and were looking for a tour that was a little bit different as we felt we had already seen the majority of New York's major tourist attractions. We chose stray boots after reading about it here on trip advisor. We picked the Greenwich area as we hadn't spent a...

We went on the 5th Avenue tour, since our group consisted of 10 girls. We broke into two teams of 5 and competed against each other. It was a lot of fun and a great way to see the city! Bonus points for the seasonal discounted price. I would definitely do this again in another Zone during my next trip...

I've done the Game in the Village and the Met. The former was with co-workers and the latter was with family. They're both great, but I have to say that I liked the Village one better. If you're unsure of which tour to do or have any questions, just send in an email; Scott is super helpful and flexible! Have...

I know this is titled a game, but really its like having a friend in NYC walking around with you. There were five of us, three of whom were teenagers with no interest in doing very much at all if it involved walking, and one for whom walking the streets was the only thing he wanted to do. I've been...

Big KUDOS to New York: The Game and it's founders Scott & Avi! My sister and I had a great experience with the games we played: 5th Ave, Chinatown & Times Square. It's such a great concept for the tourist, who does not necessarily want to act like a tourist with structured itinerary and maps! We are big fans of...
