| The idea of this show is great. The execution is a bit hammy and over the top to be as good as it could be. Also, there is more walking than action, and the tasks are a bit too easily solved. Best done with a SMALL group. The group I was combined with totalled 9 people, which is definitely too many. |

| This was portrayed as "part walking tour" so I was expecting some kind of commentary to the areas we were walking through (although maybe not in a traditional way). However, we simply moved from place to place in various parts of downtown. The mystery wasn't very mysterious, the clues were not very ingenious, the plot was paper-thin, and the strange characters we met along the way were not particularly engaging or clever. It was mildly amusing, but certainly not worth the money. |

| We all had a great time. We would definitly recommend to others. Something different and entertaining. The acting was excellent. It was not too easy or too hard to follow along! All ages to enjoy! |

| We thought we would have a good time but it was even better than anticipated. It was everything as advertised but when you actually get out in the streets and start following the clues and playing it's really a lot of fun. And the surprises REALLY ARE surprising. We were seven women celebrating the coming marriage of one of us and decided to do this instead of a "traditional" bachelorette party. Turned out to be a great decision and we would all do it again! |

| We have been to New York many times but this was a fantastic way to have fun.
The Accomplice team was amazing and incredibly creative. The scenes were perfectly orchestrated!!! We loved it and can't wait for the sequel!!!! |

| A terrific experience. Clever concept, carefully structured, with talented actors that fuel the fun. It's a street peformance, a treasure hunt and an interactive tour of lower Manhattan, all combined. This is a 3-hour experience, with drinks and snacks along the way, at a totally reasonable price. It's particularly cool that non-actors in stores and bars are part of the game. We had 5 fully packed days in NYC that included theatre, museums, Ellis Island, jazz, outstanding food, comedy - and without claiming this was "better" (don't want to compare apples and oranges), it was the most memorable. |

| I had heard about this tour when Neil Patrick Harris (Dougie Houser) had done this tour with friends. He raved about how much fun it was. You get a mysterious call about where and when to meet. This tour takes you to different little areas that you wouldn't ordinarily see or experience. Truely an incredibly FUN experience. It was probably one of the highlights... |

How about a "locals" version?

| We enjoyed the Accomplice experience. There were 4 of us and the other 4 people in the group were very compatible. It was a little too long at 3 hours, and the addition of a snack break would have helped. It also could have been a bit more challenging. We were mostly locals or familiar with NYC. Perhaps Accomplice will develop a version that will use some of the accumulated knowledge that New Yorkers are justifiably so proud of. |

| We absolutely loved this and cannot wait for the sequel. My husband and I did not know what to expect, as this was a surprise gift, but we had a blast. The entire event was well thought out, planned and executed. The actors were superb and even so convincing that we weren't completely convinced that they were our contact actors. We truly believed that a couple of the actors were simply bystanders to our adventure. We have told many friends about our mystery/ tour/ scavenger hunt because it was truly a great time. Being married for 15 years, this was a wonderfully unique and exciting date ... definitely winning out over a movie and dinner night out! Even better than attending a Broadway show!!! We wish you every success and look forward to our next adventure with your group!
One thought, as parents of 2 girls (ages 10 and 6), I would love to see an abbreviated, child friendly adventure for families. We would sign up in an instant! |
