Q: Is there any age limit for this scavenger hunt in Manhattan?

A: There isn't a strict age limit for the scavenger hunt, but it's best suited for ages 12 and up. Younger kids might find some of the puzzles tricky, but families can definitely join together! Just keep in mind that the hunt involves some walking and navigating through busy streets in Lower Manhattan.

Q: Can we reschedule if our plans change?

A: Yes! You can reschedule your scavenger hunt if needed. Just reach out to CityDays support at least 48 hours in advance, and they’ll help you find a new date that works. Flexibility is one of the perks of this experience!

Q: What's included in the price, and do we need to pay for snacks along the way?

A: The experience itself is free, but you’ll want to budget for snacks and drinks at the stops.
