The Great Gotham Challenge is an immersive puzzle adventure that combines mind-bending challenges, live theater, history, and embedded technology to create an unforgettable experience in NYC. As the clock ticks, sleuths in teams of two to four compete in a battle of code-breaking, riddle-solving, and of course, googling as they race to find and decode a series of interactive clues that engage the rich culture and history of New York City.

The finale is going back to the offline formula! And we are so happy that we will be able to meet with many of you live!
