| It lived up to its billing as including improv. It was a live game. Get into it, and it will be even more fun. If you like puzzles (don't worry about them being too hard, you're in a group of about 8) or shows like Tony 'n Tina's wedding, you'll enjoy Accomplice. Their website's FAQ section is spot on. You'll definitely enjoy yourself. |

| If you could play CLUE in an actual haunted mansion with a live Professor Plum and a real wrench, you'd only have half the fun we had on our Accomplice Adventure! From the first "mysterious" phone call to the last surprising reveal, this charming melodrama was delightful entertainment.
Three of us (including my eleven-year-old daughter and her 5th grade friend) joined seven strangers on a romp through the city that was uniquely New York. We weren't strangers for long, however, and our team goals had enough challenge and charm for the entire group.
A remarkably able cast helped us weave an ingenious story and become real players in a pure street theater performance! We can't wait to do Accomplice: The Village!
(I happen to work with some of the finest improv and sketch comedians in the world and I was quite impressed with this group!) |

| Everyone's right--I can't say too much about the show without ruining it. The fun is in figuring out what to do! It was a great time for our group of friends. The cast was great (and friendly too). Even if you're a hardened New Yorker you couldn't help but enjoy yourself. Give it a shot. |

Had a really great time!

| This was a lot of fun.. the actors were amazingly talented, the walk around the city was super fun and overall this was a very well run operation. Two reasons I didn't give 5 stars: 1) The overall story, while good, wasn't as tight as I'd have liked it to be. It seemed like the actors weren't all on the same exact page (but it still was great fun anyway) and 2) While we were lucky to have a great group, I couldn't help but feel that this would have been even more fun it it were more personal (ie. 2 or 3 per group). But still, try it! It's totally a great value and there are some surprises along the way that are totally worth it.. Have fun! |

More fun than dozing at a Broadway show for sure!

| If you can't have fun being an Accomplice, you can't have fun, period. Even before it starts, you look at everyone as potentially "being in on it" and you notice some really odd and interesting people in New York that you normally wouldn't give a second look or thought. The actors are great and fun to talk to after the tour/show if you happen to get a late enough slot. Theatre snobs might call them campy, but I call them fun! And just when you think you've figured out what's going on, you realize that you know only as much as they want you to. I'd like to do it again but with friends that have no clue that we're doing it. Will definitely consider it again the next time we're in the New York area! |

| We did the accomplice thing in manhattan for my wife's friends birthday. I must say that when we purchased the tickets for $65 a piece I was expecting a lot more than what we received. The "event" consisted of us going around the city on foot following clues given to us by different actors at different location. The actors were wonderful and the story was easy to follow and was kinda fun. What was lacking were the extras. At the first site, a hole in the wall dive bar, complete with nasty bra's hanging, you received one beer. Not a 16 oz import but a 10 oz plastic cup coors lite. I felt like I was back in college at some crappy frat party. Now it was a warm day and I enjoy a drink, so when I asked for a second beer and I was quickly denied. Even when I offered to pay for a second beer I was told that we were not allowed to "dilly dally." I was pissed. Then at the next stop we were given cheap wine with bottles that were already opened for God knows how long. For food a group of 8 of us split 2 appitizers and some bread. It felt like we were in prison. We ended the experience at another dive bar, this time in the village. After the grand finale, we all thought that this was the pay off. An open bar or maybe a couple of drink tickets. NOPE! We got an invite to buy a drink, at $6.50 a glass, at a bar that the accomplice people own. It's a true racket. Totally a huge waste of time and money.. For $65 you should receive more for your money. Your better off doing anything else. I would not recommend it to anyone. |

| the whole experience was enjoyable. The ease of registering and particpating has made the day worth the money. The actors are very much engaged in the roles and believable. |

| We booked all 10 tickets, and went on a beautiful April day (75 deg and sunny). I'd recommend booking the entire group if possible, although other scattered groups seemed to have just as much fun as our group.
You're basically walking outside for 3 hours, so wear comfortable clothing and shoes and prepare yourself for a fun afternoon! The actors are campy and do overact, but that's sort of the point. Moreover, if the first few actors didn't overact, you'd never be able to pick them out as your contact people. Certainly a fun afternoon, recommended for tourists and locals alike. |
