Description

"Explore New York City through a text message scavenger hunt." You sign up and pay online, and then you choose an area in Manhattan (ex - fifth avenue, Chinatown and Little Italy, Times Square, Greenwich Village, AMNH, etc.). They text you clues, photo challenges, and different trivia questions (with hints if you need), and you have to respond with your answer. And then they tell you interesting tour information along the journey. It is really fun, and their customer service is great.

Tips

  • To choose the best area of Manhattan to play in, visit this page ahead of time, to look through some of the highlights and landmarks of the different hunts.
  • The appropriateness of all the clues, exhibits, landmarks, etc, cannot be guaranteed.
  • As of November 2013, they no longer support texting. The game can only be played through their app on iPhone or Android. Make sure one of you has a smart phone.
  • App has not been updated in over 2 years.
  • Enjoy.
