Itinerary and highlights

Questing tours are self-guided, riddle-based walking adventures that help you experience New York City in a whole new way. Using your smartphone, you’ll solve clever clues and puzzles tied to real landmarks, signs, and local history as you explore iconic neighborhoods and hidden corners of the city.

Most Quests last one to two hours and are designed for small teams of one to four players, so you can explore at your own pace and on your own schedule. If you get stuck, up to three hints are available to keep things moving.

Many Quests begin at a local coffee shop and end at a cozy neighborhood spot -often a bar or café - making them perfect for celebrating your success. Optional side quests offer an extra challenge, if you want some friendly competition.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your own city, Questing turns every neighborhood into a playful adventure of discovery and fun.
