February Highlights: Valentine’s Day Discounts

Two’s company but four or six is even sweeter when it comes to savings on our trio of Valentine’s Day hunts. Hunt as a team of four and save $10, or hunt as a team of six and save $21. At checkout, enter the code DOUBLEDATE for a team of four or TRIPLEDATE for a team of six. (No charge for group hugs!)

You won’t be collecting objects (drop that love letter!)—you’ll be searching for answers to tricky, humorous questions. Bring a team of up to six people or tell us if you’d like us to help you join kindred spirits.

The N*ked at the Met Scavenger Hunt

Saturday, February 11, 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.; Sunday, February 12, 2 p.m.

Search for n*dity in art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. You’ll scrutinize paintings, sculptures, period rooms, sultry sirens, a literally bronzed Adonis, a medieval codpiece, an incontinent Cupid and a randy reveler who’ll make you exclaim, “I never sausage behavior!” No previous experience with art, or n*dity, is required.

The N*ked Brooklyn Scavenger Hunt at the Brooklyn Museum of Art

Saturday, February 11, 2 p.m.

Go in pursuit of n*des at the amazing Brooklyn Museum, starring Nefertiti, Venus, Rodin, Balzac and molasses. Along the way, you’ll explore Ancient Egypt (and musicians playing an unusual instrument), African fertility objects, voluptuous Hindu goddesses, impish Impressionists and a n*ked dog whisperer in a Jazz Age den. Learn more and buy tickets

The SoHo Chocolately Scavenger Hunt

Saturday, February 11, 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.; Sunday, February 12, 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.

The perfect hunt for those adventurers with a sweet tooth! While finding answers to tricky questions, you’ll be visiting a variety of chocolate shops, bakeries and specialty shops throughout SoHo. Treats spotted along the way include tropical fruit caramels, bacon candy bars, lavender macaroons, spiced hot chocolate, cupcakes and rice pudding in more than 31 flavors. Be sure to bring one digital camera per team. The price does not include food purchases, because we want you to have a wide range of options to suit your taste, your budget and your diet. We’ll point you toward our favorites, but the ultimate choice is between you and your tummy. Learn more and buy tickets

March Featured Hunts: Mobsters & Munchies

After being cooped up for the past few months on our indoor hunts, we're ready to take the action outdoors again! And we're stepping out in style with two of our favorite neighborhood hunts: The Gangsters' New York Scavenger Hunt (Saturday, March 24, 2 p.m.), where you'll soak up the local color of Chinatown and Little Italy and our Munch Around the Village Scavenger Hunt (Saturday, March 31, 1 p.m.), the best way to satisfy your hunger for adventure while sampling the best bites in Greenwich Village.

Pop Quiz: Great Moments in N*dity

Valentine's Day is the perfect time to indulge yourself (and maybe a partner?) in one of our popular N*ked hunts, where you can peek at the naughty side of great works of art. Before you hunt, brush up on your "buff" knowledge with these five questions and be sure to check out our special daily Facebook gallery, "14 N*des in 14 Days," from February 1 all the way up to V-Day.

1. Rodin originally conceived this famous male n*de as Dante before the gates of Hell, thinking of his great poem. Who is it?

2. Manet's Luncheon on the Grass created a huge uproar when it was first shown. What upset people more than the fact that the female depicted is n*ked?

3. Despite its avant garde style, Duchamp's most famous nude caused scandal and ridicule at the 1913 Armory show in NYC. What is the subject doing in the painting?

4. One of this artist's most famous works originally depicted five prostitutes and two men in a brothel. He eventually painted over the clients, leaving only the women. Who was it?

5. Which barely-legal pop couple were recently immortalized in the raw by contemporary artist Daniel Edwards, perhaps most famous for a sculpure of a n*ked Britney Spears giving birth?

Answers

1. The Thinker
2. That the men with her are clothed.
3. Descending a staircase
4. Pablo Picasso (Les Demoiselles d'Avignon)
5. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
