Secret City Scavenger Hunts — Attraction in New York

Jared and Walter organized a fun and engaging scavenger hunt around Central Park which sparked friendly competition in me and my groups of friends!

I was worried that the game would comprise of a lot of trivia that I wouldn’t be able to answer but it was all generally easy to follow including solving the puzzle at the end.

We set the expectation with Secret City and our friends that the team my husband and I will be in will probably be slow and may not even be able to finish the full 2 hour competition as we were bringing our 8.5 month old with us. Our team was able to finish in 2nd place speed wise but with two mistakes, we came in 3rd to two other friend groups who both had perfect scores. They all told me how much fun they had and that it was a great birthday event idea! We were also lucky that the weather was on our side!

We highly recommend Secret City for organizings similar fun and active events for a special occasion or just because you want to try something different. They very communicative throughout the process and explained...

Had such a blast. Local New Yorkers said they realized how little they knew about their own city. As someone who loves to walk around staring up at the buildings and reading the plaques, I was living my best life!! The competition fuels you to move at a quick clip, but the SoHo hunt was so fun and beautiful. There's really not enough time to stop and eat on the hunt haha so be prepared to flag things in your map that you want to return to! But it was just so much fun to work as a team running around and figuring things out. I went with friends to celebrate my ten year anniversary in the city, and afterwards we were all buzzing about how perfect and unique it was. Here's hoping I can do it again someday! Thom, our guide, was so warm and genuine and I was grateful for his kind, positive energy. Also had an awesome experience with the customer support in planning from the beginning; they're willing to work with you to make sure you and your group have the best time, and even to adjust if weather changes the week of!! I'd recommend...

We had celebrated a friends 55th birthday in Vegas last March, and this Scavenger Hunt was our gift to her. We actually played a game while in Vegas to give her options to choose from, and this was her choice.

I made a great choice by choosing Secret City to fulfill this gift for our friend. We chose to do the Central Park Hunt, and we had perfect weather for a day in the park. Little did we know that we would be getting a workout in, but what an amazingly fun, and amazing day! We were all New Yorkers, but not all city people, and it gave us a chance to see parts of the park that you don't necessarily see. The clues/questions were smart, challenging, and fun, and the other surprise challenges were even more fun. We had so many people in the park asking us about what we were doing, and envying the fun time we were having.

All in all a 10 out of 10, and would highly recommend this! Thank you Julie our guide, and Jared for your guidance as I made the decision. And of course HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our dear...
