An eccentric great-uncle has passed—but not before leaving behind a trail of cryptic letters, coded messages, and one final challenge. You’ve been named in the will... but so has a mysterious stranger. Follow the clues through the Upper East Side and Midtown to claim what’s rightfully yours—before someone else does.
General areas covered:
What is the difference between the Signature Deluxe and Mini Experience versions?
Signature Deluxe (our most popular): Includes pre-trip letters, puzzles, and immersive keepsakes delivered to your door. The participating family will select the first mailing date to start the pre-quest story 2–3 weeks before doing the physical hunt—so the adventure starts early! This timeline is part of the fun, but keep it in mind when ordering.
Mini Experience: The same on-the-ground hunt in NYC, but without the mailed story packets. Great for last-minute trips or families who want to jump straight into the action.
How many people can play together?
Quests are designed for a team to share one device and solve the mystery side by side. That means the ideal group size is usually limited to the number of people who can comfortably gather around a phone at once — big enough for collaboration, but small enough that everyone stays engaged.
For most families, that sweet spot is 3–6 players. Larger groups may find that some kids (or adults!) drift to the sidelines, while smaller groups will get the full experience of working together at every location.
How do I send a quest as a gift?
Clue & Compass hunts make excellent gifts—especially for families who want memorable experiences instead of more stuff. Every hunt purchase comes with a downloadable, personalized certificate that’s perfect for printing or emailing alongside a birthday or holiday card. Just look for emailed instructions for how to customize your certificate(s) after purchase.
