| Some of the actors are really funny, however, it may be hard for some people to really get into the silliness of role playing with the story. |

Points for originality, 3 1/2 stars!

| We think this is a pretty fun, novel time for people not familiar with New York City.
It takes a bit before it "get going", but the length is just about right. Would have liked even more "whodunit" deductive tasks to engage the group. |

Great concept but needs fine-tuning

| I participated with a couple of my friends, and while we did enjoy ourselves, we all agreed that the show needs to be more nuanced and intellectually stimulating. It's fun the way it is, but it has the potential to be a truly terrific experience. As it stands, there's little sense of satisfaction at the end because you get there no matter what you do. |

Very entertaining and fun

| My son and I totally enjoyed the experience. It was a lot of fun. We are still recommending to friends. We are looking forward to getting friends together and doing the other mystery. If you get the chance, do it! |

| Glad to see this was a different story line than the original Accomplice (just so it felt like a different tour). Still a great, fun way to get exposure to an unfamiliar area of town, but this time with an added layer of wit! I've tried to explore The Village before, but had no idea of all the little hidden gardens in the cafes etc. Can't wait to go back now and explore on my own! |

| My husband and I and our two kids (ages 12 & 14) had a great time. The actors were very convincing and funny. We enjoyed all the locations and went back to a couple the next day. Well Done! |

different, fun, but more for teenagers than adults

| My girlfriend and I decided to try something out of the ordinary our last weekend up to NY-- I'm from Long Island originally but now we both live in the DC area. My friend guessed it would be either really cool or really suck. Surprisingly it fell somewhere in the middle, though definitely closer to the cooler side.
I thought it was more for adults than kids (we're 32) but the presence of two preteens in our group definitely made it more for kids if it wasn't already. The kids were fun and so were their parents even though they were Red Sox fans, but I think it would have been a lot more fun for us with a group of our friends after a few beers. The kids had a blast though so I'd highly recommend it for 10-15 year olds. I think late teens would probably think it's lame or stupid or just not want to be seen with their parents.
The actors were great and really made an effort to make us laugh and keep us entertained-- they were really quick on their feet. The clues were clever but really easy to follow-- I imagine it's really difficult to make them easy enough so everyone gets them but hard enough so there's some challenge involved.
I also thought there'd be more interesting little-known facts about NYC but I'm a big dork and maybe that would make it more boring for most-- I guess if you want that you should go on a bus tour.
I also wish more beer was included-- we only got one. But again, there were kids involved. Maybe on an all-adult tour it's a little rowdier. |

| We did Accomplice:The Village for a 30th birthday party. We were in two groups, half an hour apart, which was great for competitive spirit and to hear everyone's different experiences. The event was so much fun, very different to anything we expected and a great way to see some of the Village and interact with your group. Everyone enjoyed it and as we were near the end of the day, we especially enjoyed meeting some of the people involved to hear their war stories!
I would thoroughly recommend this event. You have to be prepared to get in to the spirit of it and the more you are, the more fun you will have!
Thank you Accomplice. We look forward to doing New York and LA! |

| My group did both Accomplice: NYC and Accomplice: The Village. NYC was a litle more fun but both are great. You have to be willing to get into the adventure and interact with everyone you meet along the route. It is a great time for a group of friends. |

| My 32 year old daughter and I did the Accomplice/The Village together and we had a great time. We both definitely recommend it to others as a fun and very different activity while visiting new York. It was quite cleverly designed as well as entertaining and took us to some colorful (and charming) places. Go! |
