What travellers are saying
- zam (veneer's version)World1 contributionIt was amazing! I really liked Poppy and DJ Suki. I wish they added Velvet and Veneer because they carried the entire franchise, but it was a really unique experience.Written April 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Danielle C2 contributionsHad such an amazing time! Came with friends to do the SoHo hunt to celebrate ten years in NYC. Local NYers afterwards gushes about how cool it was and how little they knew about their own city. We all had so much fun rushing around. Flag food spots - no time to stop! But the competition gives you fuel and the information is super interesting. Everyone loved it and talked about how unique and fun it was! Their team is super willing to work with you and communicate, and our guide the day-of, Thom, was such a warm, positive energy. We were super grateful for the experience and I hope I can do it again!Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kellit2264New York, United States21 contributionsWe did work team building scavenger hunt in GSC and we had a blast! We broke into 3 teams and had so much fun competing and learning about GSC!!! We collectively, highly recommend Watson and their team! This was easy to set up and a blast!Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pamela S1 contributionLoved seeing the art sculptures along the route. It’s a perfect few hours out for a family stroll. Everyone gets to use their own phone to take photos, answer questions and learn how to navigate a map.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jana V2 contributionsGo City was easy to use and convenient to have for multiple activities in NYC. Some of specific instructions for activities weren't always as clear as they could be and so I called the actual place (Circle Line Cruise). Top of the Rock instructions were pretty good, but we still needed to ask for help and some others who didn't speak a lot of English did not realize what they needed to do, based on the Go City app.Written October 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- deeHillsborough, NJ1 contributionFun experience. Great option to announce birthdays or special events. My friend was completely surprised and loved her bday announcement. Fairly inexpensive especially when going in with others.Written November 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christine V2 contributionsAn absolutely delightful immersive experience that provides a unique way to see downtown NYC, even for this longtime New Yorker. We LOVED the performers, and also the combination of participating in the story and also just getting to "enjoy the show." Highly recommend whether you're a local or visiting from out of town. (You will be walking most of the time and it lasts over an hour, so definitely skip the heels and wear comfortable shoes! :)Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- filhodapuc2 contributionsWe loved it, I played with my gf, her brother, and his gf. We found the level to be easy, and we only used the hint on the very last one where we needed to type in HER. Our favorite part was the ones where we got to interact with the surroundings and the park statues. I wished there was more in NYC and we'll look to buy the other cities if/when we travel there.Written August 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- windveilBasel, Switzerland2 contributionsThis hunt was pretty awesome. Me and my friends went as a team and we did the hunt against others. We went to some really great historical bars. It was a lot of fun drinking and looking for clues. In one bar, we got some random folks to help us find the answer to the clue. A unique experience I would highly recommend.Written October 2, 2013This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ashley BNew York2 contributionsMy kids and I had a blast on our Family Quest - we had so much fun running around and getting energy out while solving puzzles and learning new things about our neighborhood. The Quest had perfectly timed snack stops and play destinations. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon for all of us and to increase our wonder of and love for New York City.Written February 4, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kealygirlNew York City, NY2 contributionsVisited recently and love the idea of a treasure hunt. However the clues were not common sense and were silly. So it made the game more of a riddle rather than a treasure hunt.Written June 22, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Harry ALong Island, NY126 contributionsWe did the Tribeca/Chinatown scavenger hunt by CityDays. We have never really had a chance to explore this area (despite being NY natives), and this was the perfect way to do it! The scavenger hunt covered a lot of ground (be prepared to walk), and took us around to see some really interesting things. After you answer each clue correctly, they send you a fascinating historical tidbit about the area where you are standing.
Beware, though, the clues are HARD! This is more of like an escape room than a scavenger hunt. You have to decipher a bunch of clues to figure out where to go, and THEN decipher more clues to get the correct answer. Don't worry, though, they give you plenty of opportunities for hints if you get stuck.
Very fun and interesting way to explore the city. Highly recommended!!Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
