Escape the Oculus Scavenger Hunt

Solve the puzzles to escape with your lives

…on a New York City scavenger hunt in the spectacular Oculus and the World Financial Center’s Brookfield Place. Your team has been poisoned by an evil genius, and the only way to find the antidote is to play his puzzle-filled game. 

Each puzzle, riddle, and brain-teaser will lead you to spots within the Oculus, where your group will answer tricky, humorous questions about what you discover in these great spaces. Along the way, you might find a ceramic zoo behind bars, huge murals of faraway shores, exotic edibles at Eataly, spectacular views of the Hudson, and more.

Completed in 2016, the Oculus is a dramatic, all-white space like something out of a sci-fi movie. An underground hallway connects with Brookfield Place, where a palm court and intriguing places to shop and eat await. Another passage connects with the dramatic Fulton Center, a hub for more stores. These venues provide lively, weatherproof places for an indoor adventure downtown.

No knowledge of the Oculus or the area is necessary to play or to win. You just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and great teamwork.
