| My wife and I bought tickets on a whim. No idea what to expect or what it was all about. We showed up at the meet point where there were four other people. Soon thereafter we were greeted by the Accomplice "guide".
Let's just say that the initial guide did a very good job making me think we made a huge mistake in buying tickets (almost too good, we were seriously considering bailing...)
The funniest aspect of the "show" was I was absolutely convinced the four other people were "planted" by the show to help guide and influence us. This of course impacted my actions/reactions the entire time. Only at the end did I learn my New York paranoia got the best of me - turns out they were just on the adventure as well.
Accomplice is just good fun - no deep thoughts or revelations at the end, or wondering how the world would have changed. You just roll with it, smile a lot, try to guess whose who (well at least if you're me) and yes, there is a "ah-ha" moment where the theme snaps together and you feel like a idiot for not noticing it earlier.
You wander the Village with more than a vague notion of where you need to go, looking for the next item/person/thing to connect with to lead you to the next one and so on. Along the way, you get free drinks (courtesy of same unique Accomplice cohorts), free coffee and figure things out.
I would recommend it, just be certain to wear shoes/clothes for the weather - whatever it may be. |

| After reading the reviews and hearing about The Accomplice, I was so excited to go. It wasn't mysterious. The "clues", if you could call them that, were dumb. I kept wondering...is this it? Is this the show? There is no plot or point to the story and much of the dialogue is irrelevant, gibberish. Overall, I thought it was pretty cheesy with mediocre, implausible actors. The entire show was somewhat strange. In fact most of us were bored. AIthough some of the ideas were cute, it could have been so much more interactive. |

| Such a fun event on a beautiful fall afternoon in the city. You can hang back and enjoy it or get as involved as you'd like...in either case, it's a blast. All of the actors involved make it a really good time. |

| We loved the characters, and liked the spontaneity of the exchange between the characters and the group...they really stayed in character! This was a sweet 16 group accompanied by 2 parents and we had a great time. Our daughter had done "Accomplice - New York" , but this was totally different. We are looking forward to the the next time we have visitors...we'll bring them to Accomplice. What a great way to see the city! |

| If you are able to have fun, enjoy meeting people you don't know and love improv theatre Accomplice the Village is for you. From the minute we began our activity, our group shared in the activity and enjoyed the performances of the very talented actors. The level of creativity ranks with the best. Don't miss it. |

| I really wanted to enjoy this tour. What I did instead was spend too much time with a group that wasn't bright enough to figure out that the smelly bumb telling racist jokes in the park wasn't one of the actors. Go with a group and don't get stuck like I did. I had to cut it short. The acting was mostly over the top and I really didn't care about the "crime." It was too easy but it was made painful by the group I was with.
Oh, for the Accomplice organizers, there were plentiful medical errors. |

A really fun day we'll be talking about forever

| A group of eight of us did this activity last Saturday. Six of us had already done Accomplice NY, so we knew we were going to have a great time, and we did. The two newcomers will probably end up getting another group together to do the original. It was different enough and the village was a great setting as we had never spent very much time there before. I'm sure we'll visit again now that we know how cool it is. As for the "accomplice virgin" couple, we told them very little prior which made it all the more fun. They laughed really hard and we spent the two hour car ride home reviewing all the details with each other. As we already knew, this is an activity which gives a group of friends the chance to have a blast and lasting memories to share always. Just do it! But remember to have a light heart and get involved, the more you put in, the more you get out of it. Don't be afraid of adventure. It's just a show for goodness sake. Leo, you slayed us. Tom and Betsy, you've done it again.......please, please, please consider another in NYC! Maybe midtown? |

| We had such a great time. Don't want to give anything away, as surprise is part of the element, but it was a cross between a scavenger hunt/ murder mystery adventure that held many surprises and laughs. I would recommend this to families, couples and groups of friends who just want to have unusual fun for a few hours in the city. |
