Yesterday we hosted our Central Park Scavenger Hunt for a crafty team of Googlers!

Google teams have joined us for many adventures over the years, and we’re always thrilled to create new experiences for them in NYC.

They chose Central Park — one of our most popular options!

We offer two convenient starting points:

📍 West Side — in front of the Dakota at 72nd St & Central Park West
📍 East Side — by the Plaza Hotel

From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, every team gets a mix of puzzles, history, and fun that makes New York City itself the playing field.

Whichever side of the park your group starts on, we’ll make sure it’s an unforgettable team-building experience.

How does a company that helps organizations thrive invest in its own people?

For Lattice, the answer was a Secret City Scavenger Hunt at Grand Central Terminal.

Team building isn’t just an event — it’s a way to live out the values every workplace needs:

🤝 Collaboration
🧩 Problem-solving
😄 Real connection

The Lattice team cracked clues, raced the clock, and saw Grand Central like never before — and left stronger for it.

Novartis brought their A-game to the Met!

Their team tackled artful clues, worked together like pros, and proved that innovation isn’t just for the lab—it thrives in the galleries too.

Thanks to Novartis for making museum magic with Secret City!

Just wrapped our Chelsea Market Challenge for Clifford Chance!

There’s nothing like a scavenger hunt in the iconic Chelsea Market to bring out the best in a team—curiosity, creativity, and a dash of healthy competition.

From solving clues among the bustling crowds to uncovering hidden bits of NYC history, this challenge proves you don’t need a prophet or a roadmap—just sharp minds, teamwork, and the willingness to explore.

Every clue, every laugh, and every discovery is a reminder:
Real adventure isn’t about following someone else’s script—it’s about being present, working together, and finding meaning in the journey itself.

Congrats to Clifford Chance for taking on the challenge and making it their own!

Rutgers University took on Lower Manhattan—and made it their own!

Yesterday we hosted teams from all over the world for a one-of-a-kind scavenger hunt adventure. Historic clues? Nailed it. Legendary NYC statues? Posed with them (yes, even that angle of the Charging Bull). Teamwork, creativity, and street smarts? In abundance.

From planning routes on the fly to celebrating with street food and bubble tea, Rutgers Global proved that great teamwork knows no borders—and that every city street has a story waiting to be discovered.

Big thanks to everyone who brought their A-game (and their sense of humor). Until next time!

When NYC’s streets turn into rivers, Secret City doesn’t miss a beat—we just redraw the map.

Yesterday’s flash floods? No problem for Meta’s unstoppable crew! Their Legends of the Village hunt went from the West Village to Grand Central Terminal—no umbrellas, just crafty indoor clues and weatherproof team spirit.

We’re grateful to Meta for trusting us again and again (rain or shine) for their team adventures.

WPP Took on Lower Manhattan—and Made History!

What happens when one of the world’s top advertising agencies tackles Secret City’s Lower Manhattan Historic scavenger hunt?
A whole lot of creativity, teamwork, and brainpower—plus a few surprise discoveries even locals missed!

The WPP crew traded brainstorms for street clues, uncovering secrets and stories from NYC’s revolutionary past. It’s proof that big ideas aren’t just for the boardroom—they work just as well on the sidewalks of downtown.

Thinking about your own team-building adventure? Secret City Scavenger Hunts brings New York’s most iconic neighborhoods to life for companies of all kinds. Ready to make some history of your own?

Cedar just made history. Natural History.

🦖 Most people come to the American Museum of Natural History to stare at dinosaur bones. Cedar showed up and outsmarted them.

We watched fintech wizards:
🔍 Decode clues
🏃 Race through exhibits
🤔 Solve brain teasers and laugh their way through every gallery.

This wasn’t your typical trust fall, awkward “networking circle,” or PowerPoint snooze-fest. It was pure, brainy adventure—right in the middle of one of NYC’s most legendary spaces.

Want your next corporate event to be less “mandatory fun” and more actual excitement? Secret City Scavenger Hunts runs live, hosted scavenger hunts at NYC’s best museums and landmarks.

Bring your team. Bring your A-game. Leave the spreadsheets at the office. Book your hunt. Outwit a dinosaur. Make some real memories

Heartshare brought their A-game (and their A-heart) to Grand Central!

We had a blast watching the HeartShare crew take on Secret City’s trickiest clues—the same way they tackle real-world challenges: teaming up and keeping their sense of humor, even in a crowded terminal.

But here’s the real story: HeartShare isn’t just good at scavenger hunts. They’re building a more inclusive NYC for people with developmental disabilities, one person at a time. That’s the kind of mission we’re proud to support.

Thanks for letting us be a small part of your big impact, HeartShare. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

🎉 Big thanks to the incredible team from Northwell Health Foundation!

We had a blast leading your group through our Grand Central Scavenger Hunt — racing through historic halls, cracking clues, and building connections in one of NYC’s most iconic landmarks.

We love working with mission-driven organizations like Northwell, and we’re honored to play a part in your team building. You brought the energy — and some serious puzzle-solving skills.

Let’s do it again soon!

☕️Clues, coffee, and competitive spirit — Lavazza came to win.

We hosted the Chelsea Market Challenge today for the team at Lavazza, the global coffee company with deep Italian roots and a bold NYC presence. And they brought exactly the kind of energy you'd expect from people who know their way around a serious espresso.

Chelsea Market is a maze of hidden details, quirky history, and unexpected twists — and Lavazza's crew tore through it like a double shot on a deadline. Fast, focused, and fully in sync.

Thanks to the Lavazza team for making it a fun, fast-paced, and flavor-packed day!

🧠 Sharp minds. Strategic moves. In and out of the courtroom.

Big thanks to the NYC team at Mayer Brown for joining us at Rockefeller Center for an unforgettable scavenger hunt!

This global law firm is known for its work on complex corporate deals, high-stakes litigation, and major regulatory matters—but yesterday, their challenge was navigating one of New York’s most iconic locations through riddles, clues, and teamwork.

From famous sculptures to underground secrets, the group cracked every puzzle we threw at them—proving they’re just as sharp outside the office.

We loved seeing this team in action!
