Puzzle #1: How to save your life?

The bad news: you’ve been puzzled in Grand Central Terminal! The good news (sort of) is that the evil genius who threatens to zap your brain into porridge is giving you a chance to solve a series of puzzles that will lead to an antidote. Is your team clever enough to save yourselves before time runs out?

Along the way, you’ll also get a cool tour of Grand Central’s secrets and most interesting sights. The only catch is that you’ll have to answer devilishly tricky questions about what you discover. Ultimately you’ll need to crack a coded message to get the life-saving antidote. Think your team is up for it?

If you’ve done the Secrets of Grand Central Scavenger Hunt (which is more of a whirlwind walking tour), this game features all-new questions, but about things you’ve already seen. But be warned: this hunt is more challenging.

Note: This game was formerly known as "Escape from Grand Central." If you have participated in our Escape hunt, you have already played this game.
