| Accomplice: New York was fantastic -- as far as I'm concerned it's a must do if you're in the city. My group is already planning on going back next year to do the Village tour. Everyone involved was wonderful and we had so much fun. Thanks Accomplice! |

Bad diredtions caused us to miss it completely

| We were unable to experience the Apprentice NY because of the complications resulting from the bad instructions to find the starting place. First of all, I'm sure that the caller is instructed to be “mysterious”, but it took three phone calls, two because of bad connections and then by the time the connection was OK and I figured out who it was, our limo was just arriving at Union Station in Washington DC for our Amtrak trip to NY and the caller was very snippy when I asked him to call back in 5 minutes to allow us to get out of the limo and be ready to copy down the directions. I was told, “so I'm supposed to bend to YOUR timetable?” So I scrambled to get paper and pencil to copy down the directions. Because we wanted plenty of time to consider our surroundings, we allowed extra time to arrive, but found out that the subway construction required us to exit the subway and take a shuttle bus to the location I was told on the phone call. Unfortunately for us, the ACTUAL location was blocks away and could have been more completely described by actually giving the closest street location. Because of all the travel delays that could have been anticipated by any local and the vague directions, we missed getting to the start location and started our NY trip on a terrible note. I actually planned my trip specifically to do this, so my feedback can be considered as a total zero. Co-workers had asked me to report on the experience, but I am going to have to report negatively to them also. |

| I thought the actors did a wonderful job! The total walking distance was perfect ~ in the short amount of time several main "sites to see" were included. The "refreshments" that were included along the way were unexpected and I thought it was a very nice touch! The actors that were involved were very professional and it was a FUN experience for everyone involved. I like the fact that there was a limit of 10 people per group. Thanks for offering something different! |

| A good time. In fact, it was the most talked about part of our trip. Its hard to say its "better" than a broadway show, because its just different. You cannot compare the two. I have been to New York numerous other times. It was a great way to spend some time getting to explore a few new areas and re-exploring a few areas I had sen before. A good value when you consider all the work that goes into the show, and some of the extras. Had a nice time getting to know some of the other folks in the group. |

| My daughter's high school graduation gift from her Dad and I was a trip to NYC. The two of us arrived on Wednesday morning and spend three and a half days walking, getting lost, being amazed, seeing shows and shopping. Who knew that the best part of our trip would be the last three hours we spent in the city. I booked Accomplice New York on the recommendation of a friend who told me absolutely nothing about what we would be doing but said it would be lots of fun. She was right! We will be talking about Accomplice for a long time and were able to share one of the funniest moments in my daughter's life on this adventure! Don't worry that they don't give you details. Just make your reservation and know that it will a great experience. |

| We are from California and didn't really know what to expect. We LOVED it. We met some really nice people, it was a GREAT way to see parts of NY that we wouldn't have seen on our own and we had a GREAT time.
A lot of thought and preparation went into this and we felt it was really good value for the price. We really had a fun time. |

| We were really taken in by the last twist!! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity but struggled with one thing that might be beyond the control of the creators of Accomplice. One woman in our group constantly grabbed clues and had a hard time sharing with anyone- she monopolized notes and hints and refused to share unless specifically asked- even then there were problems. I am sure we all would have enjoyed ourselves more if there was a way to control this person. My husband even called her on it and others in the game tried to explain to her that the point of the game was the thrill of the hunt but to no avail. |

The experience was a complete washout for me, and I am mostly to blame for it. I arrived 15 minutes late for the meeting point, and not surprisingly, my contact person had left by that time, which was fair enough. But it would have been nice to allow me to rejoin the group at some later point, or at the very least, get a phone call or email after the event was over to let me know what happened.
So, one suggestion that I would have is for participants to get some closure, even for the dimwits (like yours truly) who arrive late for the event.
