Immersive Scavenger Hunt in Manhattan - The Secret City

Immersive Scavenger Hunt in Manhattan - The Secret City

Overview

A puzzle-filled scavenger hunt through NYC's oldest neighbourhood. Visit majestic buildings and surreal sculptures as you unravel the fascinating and often bizarre history of this legendary district. Which worldwide institution started out as a group of men trading beneath a sycamore tree? Where did Alexander Hamilton drill his unit in preparation for the Civil War? Which Founding Father used to moonlight as an Agony Aunt? Find out all this and more in our deep dive through Lower Manhattan and the remains of New Amsterdam.

Fancy a drink along the way? We've got you covered. Coffee, wine, fake Egyptian temples, beer from a street that's been making the stuff since 1632, our hunt includes carefully curated rest-stops at some of the highlights and best-kept secrets of NYC's Southern Tip.
