Just did the NYC Smartphone Scavenger Hunt!

I finally went on the scavenger hunt last weekend, and it was so much fun! We started at City Hall Fountain, and the clues were super clever. Some were a bit challenging, but that just made it more exciting. We took a break at Fraunces Tavern, and it was the perfect way to recharge before tackling the last clues. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cool way to explore NYC!

Considering gifting the scavenger hunt!

I’m thinking of buying the NYC Smartphone Scavenger Hunt for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and exploring the city. Do you think it’s suitable for them? Also, what’s the scoring system like? Do you think they’ll find it engaging?
