At Large in the Yards Scavenger Hunt
See the best of Manhattan’s new neighborhood
Beholding the giant sculpture called the Vessel is only part of the adventure to be had exploring this West Side destination. You’ll also marvel at The Shed, the city’s newest outpost for artistic innovation. You’ll gambol through the gardens, an explosion of flowers. You’ll stroll the beginning segment of the High Line, the former elevated train line turned into one of America’s most enchanting urban parks. You’ll scour the windows of the many exotic shops and explore Mercado Little Spain.
And your guide for all this? A fun mix of unusual challenges that your team must tackle on a whirlwind tour. You’ll follow clues to answer tricky questions about what you find. You’ll search for unusual places to take creative team photos. You might need to sharpen your eyes and wits to find or create certain items.
You’ll meet with our Hunt Host at the start to set up the game, then during the game for a surprise bonus challenge, and then at the finish line to learn the results and applaud the winners.
For a snack-tastic adventure, a Food-Tour Munch Edition also sends teams in search of delicious treats through the Shops and Little Spain. You might sample Belgian chocolate, piping hot churros, French macarons, David Chang’s fried chicken, and more.
