Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participants in the Time Warp puzzle quest?

A: There's no strict age limit for this quest, but I think it's best suited for ages 12 and up. Younger kids might enjoy it but could struggle with some of the puzzles. Just make sure they have a phone to use! It’s a fun mix of history and adventure, so teens and adults will definitely get the most out of it.

Q: Can you do this in any weather? What if it rains?

A: You can do the quest in light rain, but it's really best enjoyed in good weather. If it’s pouring, maybe reschedule for another day. The quest is all about exploring outdoors, so you'll miss out on the fun if it's too wet. Just check the forecast before you plan!

Q: How much walking is involved? I have some mobility issues.

A: The quest involves moderate walking, but you can definitely take breaks whenever you need to. The route is designed to explore Flatiron and Union Square, so there are some benches and spots to rest along the way. Just be aware that some of the puzzles might require moving around a bit!

Just tried the Time Warp quest in Flatiron! What a blast!

I just completed the Time Warp puzzle quest in NYC's Flatiron District, and I had such a great time! The stories about the historical sites were really engaging, especially the one about the gravesite on Broadway. I felt like I was on a treasure hunt! Totally recommend it for anyone looking for a fun way to explore the city. I went solo, but it’d be awesome with friends too!

Thinking of gifting the Time Warp quest, but unsure if it's worth it!

I'm considering this Time Warp experience as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday. He loves puzzles and NYC, but I’m worried it’ll be too easy or not engaging enough. Has anyone done it recently? How challenging are the puzzles? Also, do you really need a separate phone for it?
