A New York Christmas tradition since 1933 is the performance of The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall located in Rockefeller Center.

With high kicks and precision, participants aimed to capture the spirit of this iconic holiday performance, adding a touch of glamour and holiday cheer to their scavenger hunt adventure.

The Central Park Zoo is home to polar bears, sea lions, monkeys, and a petting zoo, offering a glimpse into the animal kingdom in the heart of the city. For this wild challenge, teams had to locate the Central Park Zoo and snap a team picture with the sea lions, ensuring that the playful creatures were visible to passers-by.

Are we in New York or Paris? The stop was located at the Washington Square arch, which is 77 feet tall and is modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The challenge for teams was to capture a photo standing in the middle of the arch, ensuring as much of the arch’s grandeur was included in the picture as possible.
Grand Central Terminal – Backwards Contellations
Did you know… The painting of the constellations on the ceiling of the cathedral-like Main Concourse in Grand Central Terminal is backwards. No one knows for sure how the mix-up occurred, but the Vanderbilt family claimed that it was no accident; the zodiac was intended to be viewed from a divine perspective, rather than a human one. For this challenge, teams had to take a picture of themselves looking confused by this fact in the Main Concourse.
