| My wife and I and our grown daughter and her husband thoroughly enjoyed the experience. In particular, we thought the individuals with whom we came into contact were effective and believable. Each of them addressed each person in our group instead of just focussing on one or two - made everyone feel involved. We plan to go again to the Village venue soon. |

A great idea, with a bit more potential

| The idea is great, although I guess it has been "toned down" due to possible complaints from sensitive tourists. It is a GREAT experience, if you're in the mood to agree to the storyline, this is not for everyone --you have to at least TRY to go along with the story. It is a nice way to take a tour of lower east Manhattan, a refreshing experience in all.
Some of the acting is a bit overdone, I guess to make the experience easier, I would have liked it to be a bit more mysterious, and even a bit more difficult, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks!!
The authors and the performers are REALLY nice. |

| I do not remember a time where i had this much fun. It was one of the most different things i ever done. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Same goes as my friends that were with me. It was a birthday present for my friend, and he loved it too. The group of people that were with us also, were really nice. The actors were really great too. Very amusing. If you want a tour of New York City, don't go on a boring tour bus ride with a guide. Do The Accomplice and it will be your unofficial guide of the great NYC. You will not be disappointed. |

Mob-based walking tour is a hit, man.

| I booked the Accomplice: New York tour on a complete whim after reading the review in Time Out. I have to admit to being a little sceptical. I was going to be on my own, rather than with friends, and was a little bit worried that my natural British reserve would make me want to shy away from the action. As it turned out, this was really not a problem. (And that's an example of British understatement).
The actors are talented and funny, and quickly draw you into the plot. The clues are unusual and just difficult enough so that they can be solved quickly but without making you feel like you are being led through the story without doing anything. There is a real, if slightly bizarre, sense of achievement when you make it through to the end. And you really do get to see/hang out in some fun parts of the city.
I'd love to tell you more, but I'm worried that I spoil it, so I'll keep it short and sweet. I had a great time and thoroughly recommend the show.
PS. Yes, I am suitable embarrassed at the awful pun in the header of this review. |

| Actually...wasn't sure what to expect. It was well put together and thought out in advance. It wasn't too long and sustained interest throughout.
Highly recommended! |

| The less you know going in, the better your experience. Sure, some of the jokes are corny, but it's a lot fun walking around lower Manhattan and trying to spot who's in on the game. Our group (me, my wife and 18-year-old daughter) enjoyed it so much we're definitely going to try "Accomplice: The Village." |

| The actors are amazing and their improvisational skills are something to behold. Our group had a 7 year-old, so the act was made PG. One of the actors told me that usually it's rated R. I used this as a first date idea and it didn't disappoint. It gives you plenty of time to talk but also you get to experience something new and unique together. |

Good fun, but long walk

| I thought it was a lot of fun. A nifty wasy to get aqainted with the lower part of the city.
One of my friends didn't get my e-mail about how much walking would be required. |
