A lot of fun, took us a while as we kept stopping for drinks enroute. Only gripe was that we got stuck on a couple of clues as didnt really understand American streets, one clue asked for a place and we wandered around for ages and it wasnt until we checked google maps and learnt that american street signs sometimes just say a name without Place, Road, Street etc after jt, so got a tad confused. Other than that pretty fun day out.

The first 2 were very difficult to find, specially the one in Levi’s plaza, we couldn’t even find the answer once we had it. We had a 13 and 11 years old and they were discouraged. We eventually started getting the rest and then it was super fun
So fun!
We got lost so many times it ended up being frustrating. Still a good intro to the city and glad we made it to the end!
This was by far the best way to enjoy the city. I have visited many times and am obsessed with NYC. It never fails to leave me amazed and show me something new. The Devil in Chelsea scavenger hunt was no exception. Such a fun way to see the different sites, uncovering clues and understanding what makes the findings unique. We will definitely try out the other areas when we visit. 10 out of 10 recommend
