| We attended this activity as a group of 5 couples celebrating a friend and co-workers retirement. We had a teriffic time and were challenged with several of the puzzles we needed to solve to get to the next stop. A great time was had by all and several are planning to repeat the experiences. |

| Well done... I loved the charaters that were presented to the group. The small group made the experience all the better. The group dynamics made a big difference if the show was a sucess.
Luckly me and my brother-inlaw were into it and we got to meet and talk with some interesting couples. One was from London ... Just here for some shopping, I guess the pound goes a long way here in the states. But the most vocal and interesting of our group besides me and my bro.. was a couple of writers that worked as reporters.
The best was not knowing who was part of the show and who wasn't part of the show...that kept it that much more interesting. We ended up talking with strangers, thinking they were part of the show.
By using the city landscape as their backdrop, the creators made the show come alive and what more can you ask for with live threatre...NYC as your backdrop. As it turns out the final destination was a place of significance to me, that was a plus.
Great job I will be there to check out their Village show and would recommend this for all, that wants to have some interactive fun as a family or with a close group of friends.
Thanks for the experience and I also want to thank my wife Dawn again for sending Todd and I away to NYC for the evening. |

| The activity was lots of fun. There is a great deal of walking involved which may become uncomfortable in the summer. However, the whole plot and scheme of the activity was unexpected and thrilling. Great way to see downtown New York. |

| this is a great activity for an individual, couple or group. it provides a fun way to see the city and interact with local vendors who are in on the story line while they are conducting legitimate business. you also get snacks and drinks along the way.
some of the characters in the activity were great, making you believe they were not who you thought they were or they were who you thought they weren't.
it started off a bit slow, with the guy who set up the story going on too long and playing too much of a character type. the first few jaunts were boring and made me wonder why i spent $50 to do this, but then the pace picked up and the interactions got better.
know going into this that it's not a murder mystery and you do not play a part, as i had thought would be the case. instead, the group of 8 navigates the city on a group adventure.
it would be best if at least one person in the group knew his or her way around the area in which the activity takes place, but i suppose you could find your way anyway.
you definitely need to be able to walk a lot and keep up with the group. so, no slow pokes need participate unless they get a team of slow pokes to join them |

| There is much to see and do in New York City. A fun and exciting afternoon attending the Accomplice NY activity is a must for first timers as well as returning visitors. The pace is just about right and the surprises are always just around the corner. I purchased it as a surprise for my wife's birthday and we were not disapointed. If you want to see the sites and have fun along the way, then be sure to check out this interactive adventure soon!! |

| This jaded New Yorker and friends had a great time at this interactive event. You walk, you think, you laugh, and you pretend. All things we don't get enough of in our lives. I think the creators of this event have done a remarkable job, congratulations to them. The actors were perfect in their roles...really, really talented. Thanks so much for a great day. |

| We took our 12-year granddaughter on this adventure and I'm not sure who had the most fun. She enjoyed the game and clues; we enjoyed the same plus the pleasant walking with others.
Excellent actors, lots of twists and turns. Worth the time and money.

| Locations were well thought out.....actors were very convincing...a brilliant production overall...bravo!
Only one suggestion:
In preparing participants, should stress that this is a group adventure....some people tend to take over and don't always involve the whole group in sharing the clues. I had two teenagers with me(somewhat shorter than others in the group), and they always seem to have gotten left out of the circle with the taller adults crowding around the contacts and not always sharing the info.....just a little advance etiquette training might be in order.
Thanks for a great experience....next time they come to town, we'll do the Greenwich village one....although I live in the neighborhood, it's just as much fun for me.

| If you want something different to do, check Accomplice NYC out. There's no mind blowing secrets or twists involved but its a cool way to see lower Manhattan if you've never seen it before. And all of the actors involved were very funny. |

| Accomplice New York is a great activity. I enjoyed seeing a part of Manhattan that I don't normally travel to, even though I live nearby in New Jersey. I would definitely recommend this activity. However, based on my experience, I have a few help hints/cautions.
1. If you are not used to walking long distances at a brisk speed, this is not the activity for you. I would not recommend this activity for people who are over 60 years of age (sorry, but one of the participants stated that they hoped the group walked slow; the person looked over 60). I also don't recommend this activity for people under 18. We had two 16 year olds who looked absolutely bored. The jokes were also over their heads. I know when I was 16, this would not have been a big excitement for me. Plus, alcohol is served, with option of course of getting soda. It appeared that people were hesitant to drink in front of the 16 year olds; I wasn't. Twenty-one and over might be better.
2. Don't go shopping ahead of time and bring your shopping bag with you. It will not only slow you down, but it will slow the group down.
3. Everyone needs to participate. Eight to eleven minds are better at figuring out a puzzle than 5 minds. We were late because we needed to go back and look at a clue. Yes we could have called the number, but for some reason we didn't. If you don't participate, you should not also then complain that you did not see the clue.
4. Finally, try to interact with the actors. That makes it more fun for everyone. You don't have to give an Oscar worthy performance, just listen and respond. Also, you should read the website before you go.
Again, I would definitely recommend this activity. You may want to go with a group of people you already know (a fun group that is) or you can go by yourself. It was well worth the afternoon trip into NYC.
Again, |
