| Our group of nine, some in their 20s, some 40s and some 50s were out to celebrate Betsy's Birthday. We all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I don't always like traditional Broadway shows so this was a great choice for me.
You're out and about in the midst of all the hub bub of the village and get to play detective.
Great fun!.
It's like nothing you've ever experienced before.
A great group activity which we all enjoyed and we're still talking about it days later! |

| I know the web site states you don't have to have any knowledge of the area but it sure helped that the other family with us used to live locally otherwise we'd still be probably wandering around aimlessly.
I found it a tad confusing for my scrambled brain but netherless thoroughly enjoyed it
as did my husband and two sons (21 & 25)
Our sons thought we were just on a normal walking tour of Greenwich Village and the reaction on their faces during the first "incident" was priceless.
A lot of laughs and my two sons still are convinced that the other family who did the tour with us "were in on it". |

Very Innovative Concept!

| Overall, I found this production most unusual and interesting. It initially took me by surprise as one of the players in the first scene was very convincing!
I do not want to spoil the ending for others who would want to see it but I felt it could
have been wrapped up in a clearer way that helped you to tie all the loose ends together better.
Some of it was the way that it was explained and some was the noise factor at the last stop that made it hard for most of the group to be able to hear the explanation at the end and it left some of us wondering about the reasons for some of the action and a little frustrated.
However, with a little attention to these details by the producers, I think that others will really find this interesting, fun and worthwhile! |

| I had gone on Accomplice NY in the summer and loved it. I had friends visiting and we decided to do this one. I was not disappointed. The actors were wonderful and we all had a great time. I expected to not like this one as much as the other one but it was every bit as good. I wish they had more sites in NY. I'd go again. |

| I was looking for something really different to do with our family as a Christmas gift, so a friend of mine recommended we participant in "Accomplice Village.' She had participated during the Spring with "Accomplice New York" and had so much fun. It was a blast. The entire time I just couldn't believe how clever the writers were to actually come up with the skit.
The actors were so believable that our son (26) actually thought we were going off with a stranger just to share a drink and get out of the cold. Well, I guess that tells you how crazy his parents are, because we've done things like that in the past.
The tour was set in the Village so all of the places where we gathered the clues were in restaurans, local hang outs and bars. There were only six of us, the other couple couldn't come, walking the streets of the Village and enjoying every stop along the way.
We can't wait to do the "Accomplice New York" in the Spring. We already know that there we'll be booking an October date for a 60th Birthday Party. |

| We all enjoyed our Accompice experience. The "characters" that we met along the way were responsive and inventive. It was truly a great afternoon. I would recommend it highly. |

| This was really fun. Took my husband for his birthday -- had been looking for something different to do. And this did not disappoint. It was really funny, charming and cleverly put together. We highly recommend it for a different kind of experience. The character's patter was sometimes a bit too long (and a little bit lame....even though the overall writing was good, they should help the actors with bits they can do so it doesn't seem drawn out at some of the stops), but we understood that they needed to keep a certain pace since individual groups may be faster/slower. But you could not question the commitment of the actors. One note, you need to be sociable to enjoy this and you should get into it if you want to have fun. We had one southern "gentlemen" with us who was a pill throughout. (So much for New Yorkers being rude and southerners being polite). If it is not for you, leave the group or don't buy tickets in the first place. If you can't be courteous for the sake of the fellow guests, please respect the actors. I'm sure they'd rather be on Broadway or winning Oscars, but they gave 100% to their characters and they were great. We loved them and the creators as well. You could see this was not only well thought out, but had a lot of energy and and sincere desire to entertain and give you a unique experience. You should go! We'll be doing the other one -- once it gets warmer. |

| From the get go, some in our group were ready to walk away from the characters we encountered ... real, or imagined. Some wanted to virtually integrate a couple of them into our group. And, others were furious the event organizers would allow the group to be so inconvenienced by the intrusive (and, sometimes rude) behavior of strangers. How New York City!
From character or character. From venue to venue. From group discussions/debates (I hesitate to say "arguements") to individual resignation to go along with the session, we found ourselves laughing (almost hysterically), drawn into the lives/cares of the actors, and boldly committing acts of, well I can't give this away except to say if it had been "real" ... and, there was no way to know whether, or not it was real or part of the event's activities ... there was a chance we'd have been calling folks at home for bail money.
Yield to your inner sense of the absurd. Throw (almost all) caution to the winds. Go with it and you will make this adventure your own.
Take nothing for granted, but be sure to take yourself and your family and friends. |

| We didn't really know what to expect but wanted to do something different in the City. This was really fun, entertaining (much better than sitting in a theater) and gave us a chance to see places we never would have encountered otherwise. We definitely will go back to the venues. |

| The actors were great. The show was well written. I enjoyed seeing a bit of the Village and I enjoyed interacting with my group and watching us form a team. It was really a fun event. |
