PoliciesPrice Match GuaranteeIf you find a similar event with a competitor at a lower price, we’ll gladly match it. This applies to events of comparable description and duration. Simply provide the details when booking, or within 72 hours of your booking, and we’ll ensure you get the best value. Contact an event concierge to get started. Cancellation PolicyBookings are non-refundable – but they may be transferred to another group prior to your scheduled event, subject to the requirements outlined below. If you need to change your date, please provide as much notice as possible — ideally at least one week. If you want to give your rebooking credit to another group, we will honor that. We ask that, if you need to rebook, you do so within one year of the original booking. Rebooking or Transfer Notice Requirements: If you request to postpone or transfer your event with fewer than 72 hours’ notice, a rebooking premium of $150 per 20 participants will apply, calculated proportionally (e.g., $225 for 30 participants, $300 for 40, etc.). A minimum fee of $150 will apply for groups smaller than 20 participants. Participants may be added to your booking at any time prior to the event. Additional charges will apply based on the current rate per participant, due before the event begins. We plan and staff our events based on the confirmed participant count provided in advance, so all final numbers must be established prior to the event. We do not conduct headcounts on-site or adjust the final cost based on actual attendance. Once an event has taken place, no portion of the booking is transferrable or eligible for future credit. Outdoor events may be moved indoors for any reason, including inclement weather, pending availability. We request at least 24 hours’ notice for any change of hunt selection. If a museum hunt is selected, museum admission is sold separately. In the event of a force majeure — such as a public transportation shutdown, city-wide emergency, or government-issued order advising people to stay home — your event will be rescheduled to a mutually agreed future date. |
Description
Solve team clues in SoHo and Nolita, exploring cast-iron buildings, cobblestone streets, landmarks and neighborhood history.
SoHo (South of Houston) has been a haven for artists, designers, and creative businesses since the 1970s, transforming from a gritty industrial district into one of the most recognizable shopping and gallery destinations in the world. Nolita (North of Little Italy) is newer to the neighborhood map but equally distinctive, offering a quieter, more intimate version of downtown life rooted in Italian-American tradition and the annual Feast of San Gennaro.
Your adventure begins at The Wall, a striking minimalist mural by artist Forrest Myers at the corner of Broadway and Houston. In a race against time and competing teams, you will:
- Explore the original St. Patrick's Cathedral and learn about its role in the neighborhood's history
- Study the Puck Building and discover its past as the headquarters of a celebrated political satire magazine
- Taste the food and absorb the atmosphere at iconic destinations, including Lombardi's, Balthazar, and Fanelli's Cafe
- Examine the window displays and storefronts of major design brands, including Kate Spade, Isabel Marant, AG Jeans, and Warby Parker
- Pay tribute to Lt. Joseph Petrosino at Petrosino Park, dedicated to the first Italian-American detective in the NYPD
- And much more throughout both neighborhoods
Our Enigmatic Exploration of SoHo and Nolita is a game of strategy, collaboration, and communication in which teams work together to decode clues and outmaneuver their rivals.
Booking is simple: choose your date, time, and participant count, and we handle everything from there. You will receive a confirmation and invoice, securing your place on the calendar.
Before the adventure, our team connects with your group leader to confirm all logistics. On the day, we are waiting at the starting point to welcome your group, form teams, and explain the rules before the race officially begins. Our staff remains available throughout for assistance and guidance.
As the adventure closes, teams reconvene at the endpoint for scoring and winner announcements. Prizes await the winning team, along with the satisfaction of having truly explored SoHo and Nolita on your own terms.
The entire event is managed by our experienced on-site team. Here is a quick summary of the rules teams will receive at the start:
- Teams must remain together throughout - no splitting up.
- Bold words in the clues indicate exactly where to look.
- The hunt has a two-hour maximum runtime; teams that finish early are welcome to wrap up before time expires.
- Teams choose their own route and can complete clues in any order - reading ahead is a smart strategy.
- Several photo and video challenges must be completed using team phones and are scored at the conclusion.
- The team with the most points wins. In case of a tie, the order of arrival at the endpoint determines the champion.
- The phrase puzzle on the final page is essential for earning a competitive score - do not overlook it.
Join us for an unforgettable journey through these iconic neighborhoods, where every clue unlocks a new layer of the city's story.
