We were honored to once again welcome a group of students from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for a high-energy team-building scavenger hunt — this time set against the iconic backdrop of Grand Central Terminal.
Mount Sinai has chosen Secret City multiple times over the years as part of their programming for incoming medical students, and we’re always grateful for the opportunity. We know how much care goes into organizing group experiences like this, which is why we handle every detail — from logistics to hosting — with a white-glove approach that makes things easy for organizers and fun for participants.
About Mount Sinai
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is one of the country’s leading medical schools, known for its cutting-edge research, rigorous training, and dedication to serving communities. Their students are selected for their intellect, drive, and passion — and throughout their education, they’re challenged not only to learn, but to collaborate, communicate, and support one another.
Why Team Building Helps Future Doctors Connect
While medical school is often focused on technical skills and academic rigor, the ability to work well with others is just as critical. In hospitals and clinical settings, doctors rely on teamwork — often under time pressure — to deliver the best outcomes.
That’s where experiences like this come in.
A scavenger hunt through Grand Central may seem lighthearted, but beneath the surface, it’s a meaningful exercise in:
- Listening and communication
- Strategic collaboration
- Quick thinking and problem solving under time constraints
It’s a chance for students to connect as peers in a way that’s playful, real, and completely offline — no apps, no screens, just teamwork.
The Grand Central Experience
This year’s group brought great energy and sharp thinking to the challenge. Teams crisscrossed the terminal solving puzzles, uncovering hidden clues, and piecing together our signature master phrase.
From the Whispering Gallery to architectural details hiding in plain sight, students worked side by side, tested ideas, and celebrated their wins together. By the end, the atmosphere was buzzing with laughter, pride, and new connections.
Returning Clients Are the Best Compliment
While we don’t take any partnership for granted, we’re always honored when an organization like Mount Sinai chooses to return year after year.
We’ve designed Secret City to be easy to work with — reliable, fully hosted, and handled start to finish by professionals who care about delivering a great experience. That’s why our returning clients tell us they keep coming back: their groups have a great time, and they don’t have to stress the logistics.
