The Secrets of Greenwich Village Scavenger Hunt
Recommended by the New York Times, Time Out New York, and New York magazine!
On our most popular outdoor team-building adventure, you and your team will go on a whirlwind tour of the best of Greenwich Village—the historic places, famous people, movie locations, nooks and crannies, and much more.
Your team might search for…
- The homes and haunts of Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Richard Wright, Willa Cather, Saul Bellow, Caleb Carr, Henry James, and Louisa May Alcott
- A former poet laureate’s house that blew up when it harbored a terrorist bomb factory
- TV locations, including the Friends apartment building as well as the block that posed as Paris on the Sex and the City finale
- A former courthouse that was the scene of a sensational trial that was the basis for Ragtime
- Locations used in such movies as When Harry Met Sally…, Spider-Man 2, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Big Daddy, Serpico, Barefoot in the Park, The Hours, and many more
- The narrowest house in the Village (if not the city), next to the oldest house
- A former speakeasy with a secret entrance
No knowledge of the area is necessary to play or even to win. You just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and good teamwork.
What happy clients are saying
“Just had a college reunion this past weekend. Our Saturday activity was a Watson Adventures hunt in Greenwich Village. We had a blast! Not only was the hunt itself great fun but it was a terrific way for the out-of-towners to see a different part and vibe of NYC….Eryn, our fearless leader, was full of positive energy which helped all the participants get excited and competitive. I should add my team won so, you know, that felt good!” —a five-star review posted on Yelp
