An exciting team-building adventure through the east and west village – famous names, historic places, ghost stories, mysteries and local heroes!
On our Legends of the Village scavenger hunt, you’ll race through the streets of Greenwich Village, solving fun and challenging clues about notable sights along the way. Discover the history, lore, artwork, cemeteries, haunted places, mysteries, murders, disasters and legends of New York City’s coolest neighborhoods!
The East Village (aka Alphabet City) and the West Village (aka Greenwich Village) are collectively thought of as “The Village.” Each of these neighborhoods is chock full of its own history – the perfect setting for an outdoor team-building adventure!
