You start on a busy Yonkers sidewalk, phone in hand, the Hudson a low roar to your left and the city’s mix of brick façades and modern storefronts pushing you into a map of objectives. The app spits out a survival list—tools, trinkets, silly challenges—and the clock begins its quiet, insistent count. Teams fan out through Getty Square and along the waterfront, trading routes and strategies while a remote host watches the score climb.

You start on a busy Yonkers sidewalk, phone in hand, the Hudson a low roar to your left and the city’s mix of brick façades and modern storefronts pushing you into a map of objectives. The app spits out a survival list—tools, trinkets, silly challenges—and the clock begins its quiet, insistent count. Teams fan out through Getty Square and along the waterfront, trading routes and strategies while a remote host watches the score climb.
Yonkers wears its history plainly: Dutch-era place names, 19th-century mills that shaped neighborhoods, and Untermyer Gardens’ formal terraces tucked above the river. Geologically, you’re working the edge of the Hudson River floodplain with the Palisades rising upriver; the result is a city where gritty industrial blocks meet unexpected green rooms. Culture here is candid and diverse—Spanish, Caribbean, West African influences appear in restaurants and storefronts, giving scavenger stops a local flavor.
Practically, this is a one-hour, app-driven walking game suited to anyone who can walk city blocks and use a smartphone. Plan for 60 minutes of pacing over 1–2 miles of pavement, carry a fully charged phone and a small power bank, and wear supportive shoes—Yonkers’ streets can be uneven. Public transit drops you close; midday games avoid rush-hour crowds. Expect light competition, quick problem-solving, and a social, scavenger-hunt energy rather than a strenuous workout.
Tips: keep data enabled, split tasks by team strengths, respect private property, and use the remote host if the app lags. The reward is simple: a weird, fast-paced tour of Yonkers that tests your navigation and leaves you with stories—and maybe bragging rights.
You can play solo or as a team; the app supports individual play but the game is designed for groups to strategize for higher scores.
Yes—infants in strollers are accommodated and service animals are permitted; avoid obstructing foot traffic during the game.
No—this is a mobile ticket event. You’ll receive start instructions by message; contact the operator if you don’t get them before your start time.
Try to move to an area with better reception; the remote host can assist via chat but having a backup data plan or moving to a stronger coverage spot helps.
