Explore one of the world’s most cinematic cities, discover legendary landmarks, and feel the movie magic as you and your team solve clues in our daylong scavenger hunt. Decipher clues to identify sites in midtown and uptown Manhattan between 34th and 125th Street.

In honor of the 100th birthday of the Museum of the City of New York, solve clues in connection with the Museum’s centennial exhibition, This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture. Manhattan has served as a backdrop for countless movies, from West Side Story to Rosemary’s Baby to The Wolf of Wall Street.  In one adventurous day, experience New York City stories as told by directors, screenwriters, and cinematographers.

Children are permitted to participate, but please note that there are some adult themes in the clues.
Register closes at midnight Thursday, October 12. In case of rain, the scavenger hunt will be rescheduled to Sunday, October 15.
