| One of the hightlights of our trip to New York! We were three generations from 70 to 17 and we all enjoyed it tremendously. We joined two other couples in their 20s and made an amiable group. It would be a mistake to tell you anything that happened. All the people involved were extremely talented and lots of fun. Don't miss out. |

| We enjoyed Acomplice: Viilage and felt that the event was well organized. The weather was perfect and there was chemistry among the participants.
The actors were great and funny. They observed the group and incorporated us into their act. Accompliced utilized local businesses as part of the stage/sets. As a New Yorker, it's always exciting to discover new local businesses.
The Accomplice planners incorporated drinks/break/ bathroom stops into the story. I thought that was brillant and thoughtful.
I was sad when the event ended. Had so much fun.
Disappointed: didn't get to see the inside of the Flemming House.
Overall it was a great opportunity to tour the city. |

and experience I did enjoy the other accomplice tour better. This one had less walking!!! |

| I think Accomplice is a fabulous scavenger hunt type of activity. Having already done Accomplice, NYC, we sort of knew what to expect. They do mix it up in that the clues are different and there are some surprises. Some of the actors, however, are the same. While they are all very good, there were a couple who were easily recognizable and, unfortunately, took some wind out of our sails at the beginning of this particular tour (and only because we had seen Accomplice NYC). I really think the Accomplice organizers need to query whether people have seen the other performance and, if so, then they need to tailor it for people who have already seen the other performance - at least at the beginning - so it's not so obvious. That would be my only suggestion for an improvement. I believe the actors are all funny, enthusiastic and very good. One more thing: there is a big difference in walking distance between the Village and NYC tours - NYC took us almost twice as long to do (we are a slow bunch!) and the VIllage is considerably shorter but still very nice. We all had a great time and I'm looking forward to doing it again with my children when they become teenagers. |

| This is my second ties, I did the mobster one last year. Highly recommend and all of your employees are very fun. I enjoyed the Mob one much better. But the group you are with makes a big difference. |

| Although fun we all thought each piece was a little drawn out. Our least fav was that room that smelled like an armpit. Very stuffy. We liked another place, but it was a shame we were the only people there, it lacked a lively atmosphere.
I did accomplice NY in Oct of 2007, and every place we went to was extremely lively.
We could have used one more drink as well. All in all I feel it was well crafted, but a bit lack luster.
Cheers,

| A few weeks ago, a friend and I did Accomplice: New York. We loved it so much we signed up for Accomplice: The Village and recruited a few other friends. Both activities were extremely entertaining. The actors played their parts well. I would recommend either of these activities to anyone looking for a different kind of experience while in New York City. You see things most tourists don't see. It is also a good activity for locals. |

Accomplice is a great concept that needs work

| The idea of an interactive mystery that takes place around and with the audience is really wonderful. New York is such a perfect setting for this type of event. The audience interaction with the characters is also clever, although not new. Ten years ago there was a rash of dinner "murder mysteries" where the audience had to figure out who "did it".
What was lacking here was a clearly conveyed , cleverly conceived, theme. Even when the conceit was revealed. our reaction was "so what". The characters should have been, rather than characatures, "real" New Yorkers off the street. We as the audience should always be thinking, "what is real and what is not?". The actors played their roles too broadly (with exception of the female characters). They were so silly, and meandering that audience members often said, don't you think we should get to the next clue?
Unnecessary was assigning the audience roles.
All in all, it had the feel and something that needed a lot more work in the conception, and rehearsal stages. It is not ready yet. |

| We went into this without knowing what we were getting ourselves into. A couple in our group were a little apprehensive but absolutely loved the experience once we got going. We loved being in the Village. The other 3 participants (whom we didn't know) were great sports and all 7 of us got really involved. That's what makes it fun!
It really helped us to have a native New Yorker in our group as he was very helpful in navigating the streets of the Village. If someone asked me to describe the experience without giving too much information(which would spoil it for others who haven't participated) I would say it's like a scavenger hunt for clues that lead to the solution to the puzzle(if that makes any sense). Would I recommend it to others? ABSOLUTELY!!!! |
