| it was awesome how they got so many people to work with them and make it seem totally real. Street vendors, store owners - you name it, it seemed like everyone was in on it. It was a blast.

| This do-it-yourself theatrical scavenger hunt is a blast. Some of us were from New York & some were visiting, and we all had a great time. Don't want to spoil the experience by describing it, but it's like the most fun game you could play at summer camp, only you're an adult and you haven't played around like this in a long, long time. |

| It's hard to describe the experience without revealng too much. But overall it was a fun way to experience downtown NYC. The actors were definitely the highlight of the show! All of them are extremely fun to interact with and I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles they provided. That said, this tour does require decent amont of walkng. So everyne in the party should be dressed accordingly, bring a bottle of water, and use the bathroom whenever you're at a stop. |

| I thought it was a new and different way to see and enjoy New York. It was fun, comical, surprising and well planned, with lots of interesting "characters" to meet along the way, each one different from the next. Figuring out exactly what we had to do along the way was really cool and it was fun putting the pieces of the "puzzle" together. Also interacting with the people we met along the way, people who were part of the show and also strangers on the street who were very interested in what our group was doing, was hilarious. Not knowing who you're going to encounter and not knowing who is a part of the "plan" is really exciting. Just figuring everything out was a fun challenge. The only thing I would advise is having one more "pitstop" or bathroom break along the way. Other than that, I highly recommend this for people who like something different, like meeting new people, like to walk, and like kind of a crazy challenge. I had no expectations going into it, but I came out of it with a big smile on my face. It was a lot of laughs. |

| The entire excursion was a great deal of fun and was never boring. The only advice I can offer is to be prepared to walk and if you're going out during the warmer months, bring along a bottle of water. My group was a lot of fun and everyone was very familiar with the city, so it was a breeze getting around locations. I plan on doing this again in the fall. |

| Such a unique, engaging, and fun walking tour/mystery hunt around the city! Be ready to lose yourself in the experience, and interact with the actors. You'll get a lot out of the afternoon! |

Great concept and execution

| I loved the concept and the way it was executed. The characters/actors were teriffic, the clues were amusing and the locations had great flavor. But I have a couple of negatives. It was way too long - - I think two hours would have been better - - and the geographic area covered was way too extensive (I counted five distinct neighborhoods). My feet were absolutely killing me and I did wear very comfortable shoes. Frankly, by the third hour my friend and I were about ready to call it quits. We are both in our late forties, but we were not alone in feeling this way. The rest of the group was much younger, probably in their late twenties, yet two of them actually quit before it was over, and the rest were determined to finish only because a friend of theirs was the final character/actor. We stuck it out until the end (the snack at the restaurant near the end of the event was right on time and literally kept us from quitting), but I think we would have been a lot more enthusiastic at that point if our feet weren't in pain .
That being said, I suggest that you have give future participants the choice of a shorter tour- no more than two hours- over a shorter distance- maybe two or three neighborhoods instead of five.
I would still recommend it, with the above caveat, and I wish you much success!

| I didn't know what to expect but decided to take a chance on doing something different for a day in the city. We were very pleasantly surprised!
It was a lot of fun, despite the rainy day, and we got a chance to see a lot of lower manhattan. |

A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

| I enjoy theater and performance art, but felt guilty spending a gorgeous summer afternoon in NYC inside. This was a great way to appreciate improv theater and meet some nutty folks to traipse with through lower Manhattan. I'm even planning to check out the Hollywood Accomplice once it's up and running! |
