Q&A

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the quest? Can we reschedule?

A: If it rains, the quest will still go on unless there are severe weather warnings. The clues are designed to be solvable regardless of the weather. However, if you do want to reschedule, you can reach out to Questing NY directly, and they can help you find another time that works!

Q: Is this suitable for kids? What age do you recommend for participating?

A: The quest is generally suitable for ages 10 and up, especially if they enjoy puzzles and mysteries. That said, younger kids can join as long as they have an adult with them to help with the clues. Just keep in mind that some riddles may be a bit challenging for them!

Q: How long does the quest actually take? Want to plan our day accordingly.

A: The quest typically lasts about 1-2 hours. It really depends on how quickly you solve the clues and how much you stop to enjoy the historic sights! I’d set aside at least a couple of hours for a leisurely experience.
