| If you want something different to do, check Accomplice NYC out. There's no mind blowing secrets or twists involved but its a cool way to see lower Manhattan if you've never seen it before. And all of the actors involved were very funny. |

| Accomplice New York is a great activity. I enjoyed seeing a part of Manhattan that I don't normally travel to, even though I live nearby in New Jersey. I would definitely recommend this activity. However, based on my experience, I have a few help hints/cautions.
1. If you are not used to walking long distances at a brisk speed, this is not the activity for you. I would not recommend this activity for people who are over 60 years of age (sorry, but one of the participants stated that they hoped the group walked slow; the person looked over 60). I also don't recommend this activity for people under 18. We had two 16 year olds who looked absolutely bored. The jokes were also over their heads. I know when I was 16, this would not have been a big excitement for me. Plus, alcohol is served, with option of course of getting soda. It appeared that people were hesitant to drink in front of the 16 year olds; I wasn't. Twenty-one and over might be better.
2. Don't go shopping ahead of time and bring your shopping bag with you. It will not only slow you down, but it will slow the group down.
3. Everyone needs to participate. Eight to eleven minds are better at figuring out a puzzle than 5 minds. We were late because we needed to go back and look at a clue. Yes we could have called the number, but for some reason we didn't. If you don't participate, you should not also then complain that you did not see the clue.
4. Finally, try to interact with the actors. That makes it more fun for everyone. You don't have to give an Oscar worthy performance, just listen and respond. Also, you should read the website before you go.
Again, I would definitely recommend this activity. You may want to go with a group of people you already know (a fun group that is) or you can go by yourself. It was well worth the afternoon trip into NYC.

| I would definitely recommend this activity to tourists and native New Yorkers alike. Accomplice definitely manages to make the game easy enough for people who don't know the city well to participate but also interesting enough for New Yorkers like me to really get involved and see corners of the city we haven't seen before. My friends and I were really into the clue finding by the end. Great way to spend three hours! Kudos to the organizers and the actors involved in this very unique activity. |

| My husband wasn't sure he was going to like it but he was very pleasantly surprised how much fun it was. We had some friends visiting us from Germany and they also thought it was great. It was a lot of walking but the time goes by fast. I would recommend this to everyone that wants a fun way to see New York. Bring fun people and have a great time. |

| I thought the whole event was well planned, full of surprises, and you see a lot of the city while being activily engaged in a 'theatrical' experience. Some of us had lived in NYC before, and some of our group were just visitors, but we all visited specific sites that were new to us during Accomplice. Fabulous! |

| My sister and I had a wonderful time. All of the actors and people involved were interesting and fun. Stopping for food and drinks really hit the spot. I would recommend that you stress how much walking is involved. Some of the people in our group were slow and exhausted. We had to wait up for them. Our group consisted of Americans and 2 Italians who spoke no English! I will tell everyone coming to NY to do one of your tours! thank you |

| A great way to experience different nooks & crannies of the city on foot while chasing clues. I live in NYC and had never seen some of these locales! Definitely well-planned and thought out; the actors were a hoot. Appreciated the food & beverage breaks along the way which included some local color. Fun to do with both kids and/or adults. |

Excellent Concept!

| My husband and I and our 18 year old son participated in Accomplice last week and we LOVED it! The only drawback for our group was that we got stuck on a clue and blew too much time, so by the time we ended up at the end, we barely had enough time to get a sip of water much less enjoy the wonderful food! So that was disappointing, but other than that is was great!!!! Highly recommend. |
