Discover New York City’s greatest park in a whole new way!

Central Park keeps New Yorkers sane. Within its 843 acres of man-made greenery are countless hidden gems, attractions, fountains, statues, archways, movie scenes and and staples of New York iconography. You may be one of the 35 million people who visit Central Park each year, but how well do you really know it? Put your knowledge to the test and win!

In a race against time and the other teams…

  • Decipher the hieroglyphics of Cleopatra’s Needle
  • Discover the secrets of Bethesda Fountain and Belvedere Castle
  • Seek out hidden statues and facts about notable New Yorkers
  • Get enchanted by the Delacorte Music Clock and its haunting tunes
  • Visit the boat house and ride the carousel
  • Take your own iconic pictures and score points for the most creative
  • Just where is that Ghostbusters building?
  • Much much more!

Anything below 96th street is fair game. You’ll be needing your iPhones or other smart phones to take pictures and email them in along the way. Each team receives one set of a clues and a map.  Get ready for a 2-hour hunt that takes you all over the park to discover fun facts and snap clever pics. Work together to plot your course, get the most answers and outsmart the other teams! We all meet at a bar for ‘grading,’ team ranks, prizes and a party!

Come with your own team of 4 or 5, or we’ll assign you to one.

Meeting details will be sent to ticket holders.  Advance tickets required.
