Lower Manhattan Historic Scavenger Hunt

  • Bowling Green New York, NY, 10004 United States (map)

Uncover the layers of New York’s past in this fast-moving, team-based hunt through the city’s oldest neighborhood. Teams will compete to solve a series of location-based clues and puzzles, leading them to landmarks tied to more than 400 years of history.

Players will race through the narrow streets of Lower Manhattan to discover sites like Trinity Church, the New York Stock Exchange, Fraunces Tavern, Bowling Green, and the spot where George Washington took the oath of office. Along the way, they’ll encounter monuments to revolution, immigration, commerce, and resistance — all hidden in plain sight.

Whether you’re a history buff, a puzzle solver, or just someone who loves a good challenge, this hunt is a unique and exhilarating way to experience the birthplace of New York.
