The Times Square Grab ’n’ Go Scavenger Hunt

A classic scavenger hunt—with our signature twists!

If your company is in the Times Square area, prepared to be surprised by how many hidden, fascinating, and amusing sights you’ve missed, sometimes right below your feet. On teams, you’ll search for answer to tricky questions about hidden history in a variety of locations within blocks of the famous crossroads, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues.

Along the way you’ll need to keep your eyes open to complete unusual photo challenges, with bonus points for shots that show extra creativity. It’s a great way to get your collaborative juices flowing.

Highlights include…

  • An unmarked grate with a humming sound designed by an artist
  • Old-time movie palaces and legendary theaters
  • A buried time capsule outside a TV studio
  • Movie star caricatures in a famous restaurant, with a message from James Bond
  • A petrified silent-screen star peddling shoes

Keep an eye out for our Hunt Host, who’ll meet you for a surprise bonus challenge.

No knowledge of Times Square or midtown Manhattan is necessary: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

We promise: you’ll be amazed at what you discover, including the hidden talents of your teammates.

The International Edition is perfect for groups with players from around the world, with easier English and just as much fun.
