| I'd read a rave review of Accomplice:NY in _Time Out_ magazine, and although I was enthusiastic from the get-go, it was still hard to believe that this tour/play could really be all that.
Well, it WAS: I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS HIGHLY ENOUGH!, for a fun afternoon/eve out, as a date, a way to meet new people, explore the city's nooks and crannies, and, best of all, be a part of a play in motion -- how often do you get a chance to get into character along with shady street thugs? (And if you do that often, well, then you'll feel right at home here because the actors are phenomenal, right down to possessing realistic individual tics.)
I came to NYC just two months ago, so I have really been actively exploring many different areas and activities, and this is by far my favorite. I also am careful about how much I spend but the show's price is a total bargain! -- I've paid twice the price to see "thumbs up" plays that are only half as good, and this one includes food and drink in the price. It is hard to conceive of something that would appeal to everyone (locals *and* tourists, older and younger folks, those w/actors inside them screaming to get out, those who dreamed of being detectives or Mafia dons, and those who'd rather just enjoy the show quietly) -- but the Accomplice:New York team does it. *Bravo*.
So: GO! Or you'll really regret not getting the chance to be told to "throw your phone in the river." . . .

| I went with a group of 6 friends. We all had a lot of fun. However, the game at times seemed too easy, probably because we were all locals and know the city very well. So it seemed like more running around than actually solving a mystery. The clues themselves were quite straight -forward, basically just get to the next destination and pick up the clue. I think it would be more fun had we played in a city that we are not as familiar with. Or, if resources allow, maybe the accomplice group can consider offering games of different difficulty levels or geared toward locals vs tourists. Overall, we still had a great time. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience something more interactive. |

| The "show" is a little slow in getting started (it would probably help to give participants some background BEFORE the day of the "show"). I think this activity works best if you go with a group of people you know. Unfortunately, in our group we had a couple who wanted to be by themselves and that affected the group dynamics. Be sure to wear good walking shoes! Overall, it was a fun experience with some very thoughtful touches. |

| Just kidding. Don't do this if don't want to have fun in public. It's great for people who don't know much about the city neighborhoods and its characters. Don't go with people whose idea of long walk is two blocks! The ending leaves you feeling like you are in on something. |

| We had a really good time. The uncertainty of where to go and what to do next kept our involvement and anticipation high. There were losts of laughs and enough humor that our anxiety level was low.
Look forward to the next version. |

| I did this with my 23 daughter and 20 year old son. We all loved it. Good fun. Well put together. Definitely for 18 and up. Some of the dialogue would be over the heads of 17 and under. |

Highly recommended!
