"The clues...are so cleverly written"
Hands down, the most fun way to explore a familiar neighborhood in a new way. The riddles were cleverly written and just tricky enough to keep you thinking as you figure out which direction to head. If you like Wordle, you'll love this - sprinkled with tons of historical facts, great views and landmarks, drinks at the end...I'm only bummed this hasn't existed before now.

"a genuinely fun, engaging adventure along the way"
We had so much fun doing the Quest! Such a great way to discover a host of curiosities in Brooklyn Heights and have a genuinely fun, engaging adventure along the way. Difficulty level and timing were perfectly pitched. Definitely recommend if you like a smart and fun way to discover the city. Can't wait for the next one to release!

"mixture of historical and modern, giving us a flavor of life in greater New York. "
As older visitors on a return visit to New York, we were looking for something outside the normal tours to give us a behind the scenes look at the city. Questing enabled us to explore Brooklyn at our own pace, speeding up, slowing down and taking side trips according to our interests. The areas visited were a mixture of historical and modern, giving us a flavor of life in greater New York. The 'watering holes' at the beginning and end gave us the opportunity to relax and watch the city pass by.

"you look around and notice things that are easy to miss."
This is a lot of fun. It's a great date, and the clues are not that difficult, but hard enough to make you look around and notice things that are easy to miss.

"My kids and I had a blast on our Family Quest "
My kids and I had a blast on our Family Quest - we had so much fun running around and getting energy out while solving puzzles and learning new things about our neighborhood. The Quest had perfectly timed snack stops and play destinations. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon for all of us and to increase our wonder of and love for New York City.

"so many interesting details we never would have noticed by ourselves"
This was a great way to learn about the history of Manhattan! I did the quest while visiting family, and we encountered so many interesting details we never would have noticed by ourselves. The quest starts and ends at cafes, with plenty of other options for food and drink along the way, so you can go at your own pace. I would highly recommend trying out one of the quests.

"I will definitely be doing another quest!"
The Fidi quest was a delight! I loved solving the clues to find my way around and discover hidden gems in the neighborhood. The clues were a nice level of difficulty-not too hard or easy. I will definitely be doing another quest!

"The clues were clever and a good level of difficulty "
I'd highly recommend Questing NY to tourists and locals alike! It was a lovely way to explore a new area and discover fun facts and features that I wouldn't have come across on my own. The clues were clever and a good level of difficulty - they weren't too obvious but we didn't get stuck at any point. The hunt was a nice length too - it took us a little over an hour but that included a drink stop at one of the suggested cafes. I'd definitely do another of these when I'm next in NY.

"It was so worth it"
I visited NYC in January and braved the cold to try a Quest. It was so worth it! I tried the one in Greenwich Village so I got a coffee and brioche doughnut (get one - trust me!) from Mah-Ze-Dah to stay warm on the walk. It was so fun and I learned so much! I wasn't sure if it would be too hard since I'm not from NYC but it is so well done that I didn't have any trouble. Definitely give it a try if your in town!

"My family from out of town also loved it"
I did a quest when my family visited me in the city and it was so much fun for both of us. We did the new Fidi quest and it was so well planned and made me notice so many new details I had never paid attention to before, despite spending quite a bit of time in the area. My family from out of town also loved it as a way to explore the city and were so inspired that they now want to start something similar back home!

"the best experience on getting to know NYC"
I love history, sightseeing and scavenger hunts. I couldn’t believe there would be a service that mixed them all in such an interesting and fun way. Questing is the best experience on getting to know NYC that I had and I’ve been living in the city close to 10 years. You will end up very happy and getting to know how fun and fascinating the city is. Highly recommend it.

"Loved that restrooms and options for snacks were pointed out "
So fun! Spent a really lovely afternoon with our 7 and 3 year old kids doing a mini quest and then playing in the playground at the end. We live in Brooklyn but it felt like we were on vacation as it was a part of the city we never go to. Loved that restrooms and options for snacks were pointed out along the way.

"a great way to spend time together"
I did the Manhattan Financial District (FiDi) quest with another person I had just met and it was a great way to spend time together and really learn how we both were thinking! I loved the different clever clues and different places the quest led us to explore. We got stuck on a couple of clues which took us longer, but found our way eventually. We did all of the “extra” bonus quests so in total time, was about 3 hours. I highly recommend this to everyone individually or in a group! Note: Plan your timing for the quest based on the weather and at what times you might want a break. We completed the quest on two separate days so you don’t have to do it all at once necessarily.

"Such a fun way to explore the city"
Loved this way to be active and explore around New York while learning interesting facts! Such a fun way to explore the city, get exercise, and be shown some great cafes / historical spots I may have otherwise walked right by!!!

"10/10 recommend"
I did the west village quest with a friend and we had SOOO much fun! It was a great way to learn some history about the city and have fun while doing it. 10/10 recommend. Can't wait to try another one!

"This is something fun that you can do with friends, or a date, or even with your kids."
I was a bit uncertain how this would go since I had my 15 mo old with me when I met up with some friends to do this scavenger hunt, but it ended up working out perfectly fine. We had a blast exploring a part of the city which I had personally been by before, but saw it with completely fresh eyes thanks to this Questing excursion. I learned a lot of interesting facts and history about the city which I had not known about before, and for someone who doesn't enjoy history, this was a fun way to learn some history. I loved how we were able to do this at a time that worked best for us, and we didn't need to worry about a time slot or day being booked since you get to do it on your own time. You only need a smartphone with internet! It was also great how there were multiple opportunities to take a break for a drink or a snack, so you can make the hunt even more enjoyable! This is something fun that you can do with friends, or a date, or even with your kids. I'm looking forward to doing another one of these with my spouse next time. I highly recommend others checking this out!
