Cultural Evening Augmented Reality Quest in New York
Navigate your way through some of New York's most iconic cultural landmarks while solving intriguing puzzles, all from the screen of your phone. Discover a different New York and create unforgettable memories with your partner in this unique cultural date experience.
- As the sun begins to set, your date starts. Both of you download the augmented reality quest app on your phones. Each challenge leads you to a cultural landmark where you solve a digital puzzle together. As you progress, you learn more and more about each place's cultural significance.
- Apart from the digital aspects of the quest, your journey through New York's streets will also include traditional sightseeing elements. You'll walk hand in hand, enjoy the magnificent architecture and buzz of New York, stopping by to try local delicacies from the city's famous street food stalls.
- After you've finished the quest, relax with a drink at a nearby cosy cafรฉ or a romantic rooftop bar overlooking the city where you can digest your impressions of the evening and finish your date.
Preparation steps:
- Before you start your date, make sure both of you have charged smartphones and a pair of comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of walking around the city. Download the augmented reality quest app in advance and get familiar with its functionality. If you're new to AR games, try solving a couple of challenges at home together to get the hang of it.
- Check the operation hours of the venues you're planning to visit during the quest to ensure they are accessible. Take a water bottle, an umbrella, a city map and some cash for purchasing street food or drinks.
- Since you'll be out in the city well into the evening, plan your transportation back home in advance. It might be a good idea to pre-book a taxi or check the transit times of public transport.
Some tips:
- Make sure to vary your challenges - mix easier tasks in between the harder ones to avoid frustration and keep the quest fun. Donโt rush through the quest, take time to appreciate the landmarks and the journey between them.
- While street food is a substantial part of New York's culture, be mindful of your eating habits - don't overeat and choose more traditional, local snacks. Before choosing a place to have a drink, read the reviews - New York is known for its hidden gems, but also for tourist traps.
- If you're not a fan of traditional souvenirs, completing the quest can serve as a unique keepsake by itself. At the end of the quest, the app usually provides a summary of your adventure with pictures and stats that can be saved or shared online.
