Wonders of Williamsburg Scavenger Hunt | Brooklyn Team Building Activity
A wandering team-building adventure through the winding world of Williamsburg!
About the Experience
Get ready to dive into one of Brooklyn’s coolest neighborhoods on our Wonders of Williamsburg scavenger hunt—a live-hosted adventure perfect for team-building, school groups, or friends looking for a different kind of activity to share.
Wander through colorful murals, quirky shops, and hidden historic corners as your team laughs, solves clues, and makes memories in true NYC style!
Discover Williamsburg’s Hidden Stories
Once its own city before joining Brooklyn in 1855, Williamsburg was an industrial powerhouse—think Dutch Mustard, Esquire Shoe Polish, and the iconic Domino Sugar factory.
Fast forward to the ‘80s and ‘90s, and it became home to the Brooklyn Immersionists, an eco-social arts movement that helped transform the neighborhood into the creative hub it is today.
Bring your crew and explore the stories behind many a mural, alley, and hipster bar!
Your Mission: Outsmart the Other Teams and Win!
We kick things off at McCarren Park with a quick mission briefing and team formation. Then it’s game on! Groups venture out along Williamsburg’s streets and avenues in a race against time (and each other!), tackling clues and creative challenges along the way.
The hunt is part strategy, part collaboration, and all fun! The team with the highest score wins, and order of arrival breaks a tie!
