I booked this Game based on the reviews of Trip Advisor. My family had never been to New York and I thought this would be a great way to explore. We were not disappointed! I chose the half-day game which gives you 6 hours to go clue-hunting. Starting in SoHo, we discovered shops and cafes that we would have never... more

This is an amazing way to experience the city!! As a native New Yorker, I walk by the same things every day without giving them much thought. This game really opened my eyes to interesting details and facts about the city. My husband and I tried out the newest game in the Museum of Natural History first. We had such... more

Wonderful tour of Fifth Avenue, with insights on architecture, history, and fashion. We spent a great afternoon checking out the sights and windows, particularly exciting during the holiday season. The Game is interactive and creative, and makes you notice little details that you would otherwise miss. Can't wait to try some of the other neighborhoods - Chinatown next? more

I've done hunts with Stray Boots in the NYC area multiple times this year and each one has been informative and fun. Great way to see and learn about NYC! :) more

Had a fantastic time, and I would recommend this for both NYers or for out of town folk. You get to see the city in a different light and one you can't see from a double decker bus. more

OK-This looked like a neat concept, so my family and I decided to give it a try. You have to register online with a credit card that goes through PayPal, so it was nice to have that security. Once you register, the site gives you the option of either picking up the map and other materials at one of several... more

Avi Millman, Owner

Given the customer feedback we've received regarding picking up game materials, we've now made it possible for customers to schedule a personal drop-off of materials between 10AM and noon. We anticipate this will make it easier for customers to get started and improve their experience as a whole. Cheers, The Stray Boots Staff

Pure fun

I live in NYC and my friends and I are always looking for new, interesting things to do. The Game is such a creative, fun way to explore NYC. My girlfriends and I played last weekend for my birthday and had a blast! I really enjoyed getting to learn more about things I see everyday and don't pay attention to,... more

We had an afternoon flight out on the last day of our trip to NYC, and were looking for an enjoyable yet relaxing way to spend a few hours before heading to the airport. A friend had suggested New York: The Game, so we decided to give it a try. What a great way to explore a neighborhood! We chose... more

New York can be overwhelming, especially on a short visit. Having been there before, we wanted do do something that would do the thinking for us. This "game" did the trick. We got word of it at a travel bureau place near Times Square, and it transformed our trip. Definitely the best day I've ever had in the City. Easy,... more
