| What seemed like a great concept (take two teenage boys on a treasure hunt through lower Manhattan while playing an interactive "game") turned into two incredibly bored teenage boys who begged me to abandon ship after we met the first "character" in this adventure. I persuaded them to stay for the next two stops, but that was all.
What didn't work? The actors were not convincing (you REALLY have to buy into the concept). The pace did not move quickly enough for teenagers who are used to playing video games (nor for me, who likes to walk quickly). Plus, the others in our group were also from the interactive theater world, and they wanted to experience every single second of this adventure.
The boys and I spent the next three hours exploring Chinatown and buying ninja stuff, and then headed up to Times Square so our guest from Texas could have a gander.
I would NOT recommend this for teenagers. |

| Loved the concept; a little uncomfortable with the message participants were to deliver. (You never know who's in the crowd).
Actors were great. I believe we were the last stragglers on a damp day and they were all still up and enthusiastic.
Now for the nays--I think snacks along the way were part of the ticket offering, and by that time, anticipated. The addition of some small paper plates would have been appreciated.
At the end of our trek, I say give 'em key chains with a plastic Manhattan charm or something. Everybody likes a little token something.
I hope I don't come across as persnickety. I really enjoyed it far more than one of those "mystery dinner" things because of the active participation.

| We were a group of adults with American teens, and a foreign exchange student. For all of us this was a fun way to see ethnic neighborhoods in NYC, and participate in a very well designed mystery. The fun was in the details, and the charactors were really great! The details make you think, and at times surprize you. Definately not a typical story with a typical story line and ending. |

A truly unique New York City experience!

| This activity is a must do for all native New Yorkers and visitors. It more than exceeded my expectations as a native New Yorker and provided a day of fun and excitement! |

| My husband, our two friends and I attended Accomplice with "Waste of Time" and can only say that this couple spent all of fifteen minutes participating in the play. They acted as if they didn't want to be there even prior to meeting the first actor. The rest of the group enjoyed the play immensely, and I would hate to see anyone not attend based on "waste of time's" review. All I can say is, "Go to see Accomplice and you will have the time of your life". The walking and sightseeing only add to the enjoyment. Our group got lost and took our time. It took us four and a half hours to finish. We really got our money's worth! |

| Our group consisted of friends and family with ages ranging from 19 to 61 and two other people who had signed up in the same time slot. Our group is from New Jersey but one of the other people who signed up lives and works in the city so she helped a LOT with the directions. We did the activity in the 2 1/2 hours but I'm sure it would have taken longer had we not had a local helping us along. Actually, it might have been even more fun getting somewhat lost and going at a more leisurely pace but we had a blast all the same. The characters we met during our quest were top notch actors and some were very, very funny.
I highly recommend this activity and I'm sure everyone else in my group would agree.

| I did this with my 23 daughter and 20 year old son. We all loved it. Good fun. Well put together. Definitely for 18 and up. Some of the dialogue would be over the heads of 17 and under. |

| This was fun! An excellent way to spend the afternoon: Some clue-hunting and interesting twists. The interactive improv from the performers was top-notch. |

| I t was incredible to go through NYC in such a raw manner. I loved how we walked around town for several hours without having to get on a cheesy tourist bus. It gave a true sense of what life was like in the big city. |
