| Accomplice is a fun mix of interactive theater, walking tour, and scavenger hunt. For tourists, it's a great way to see some highlights of NYC. For locals, it's an entertaining way to spend a few hours outdoors. The actors at each stop really make the experience come alive, and their act feels fresh especially when they improv. Only possible negative is that your experience depends on the group you're in. Groups are small, so how much the others get into it (or reject the concept) will impact everyone's enjoyment. There's a lot of potential here for private catered groups (if you book as a group of coworkers, family members, etc.) or even as a singles event. |

| I cant say too much so as not to reval any surprises, but I was very impressed with the way this afternoon of entertainment was structured. The well placed "actors" and "props" were all top notch and very talented. Imagine a scavenger hunt and theatrical event in one, and you have Accomplice. |

| I am a former New Yorker and know the midtown area inside out but am not that familiar with downtown. This was such a wonderful opportunity to get to explore Chinatown, Little Italy, etc. with an interesting group of people and a fantastic incredibly different array of characters that we encountered along the way. All of the actors were engaging and sooooooooooooooo believable in the roles they played. I will recommend this to everyone I know. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity. |

| My husband and I are crazy about NY - anything that gets us moving around it is good, and I love role-playing, so this game is terrific. We didn't come with friends, and found the group we were joined with to be not very congenial. There's nothing I would change about the substance of the event, but to get the group interacting more would be better. How to do that? Perhaps at one or two stops, separate bits of information could be given to each group member, so that we'd have to interact with each other to figure out the entire clue for that stop. It's just a suggestion - we had fun. |

| My adult children have recently moved to NYC, and my Accomplice experience was an engaging and fun way to spend an afternoon with my kids. The actors were very good, and each encounter brought a new surprise. As a new visitor to NY, I am slowly learning about the various districts, and I can't wait to return and retrace my route so I can shop and dine in the ethnic neighborhoods that we were in.
My only recommendation is that the initial Accomplice discussion should include communication about bathroom facilities. We were fine, since our adventure took us through a park with a public restroom, but it would have been nice if we had been told when and where better facilities would be available to us. I recommend asking that question at the very beginning as there were a couple of opportunities to comfortably take care of peoples' needs.
In a nutshell; I had a blast and hope to be able to go back and do the other theme at a later time. |

| Aside from the initial connection-person being 15 minutes late, the adventure included too many people - 12 instead of the usual 8 - because the connection never showed up at all for the earlier gig. Following the clues did indeed take us through interesting areas but in no way was this worth $50 to me. |

| My group of 7 (women) friends from New Jersey, was combined with a delightful young family from London, and it worked! The venues were well chosen, the props were interesting, and we really got quite a tour of downtown in the course of about 3 hours. We met some entertaining characters, and the only thing I would have done differently would have been to try to play the part a little better, of an "accomplice" in the scheme described to us. Afterwards, my friends and I went back to the restaurant on Mulberry Street and enjoyed dinner alfresco. This activity is an adventure that I highly recommend. |
