Join us in Little Italy as the streets come alive with food, drink, music and murder! Help the police solve the case of "Vinny The Social Guy” who mysteriously disappeared after attending a party at a local restaurant. Come alone or with friends and we’ll set you up in teams then send you off on a fun and exciting evening with a chance to win great prizes!

Here is how it works:

• We will make up teams of 4-6 (unless you have a team)
• Set out into the heart of Little Italy to find as many clues as you can
• Clues will be on and in the buildings, restaurants, shops and streets
• When you finish, we'll return to announce winners, socialize, eat & drink

The Story:
"Vinny The Social Guy" is an old school neighborhood guy who grew up in Brooklyn. He loved hanging out in Little Italy. He would spend the day meeting old friends, eating, drinking and trying to score points with the ladies. This trip was just like every other until Vinny disappeared! You will need to retrace his steps from that day to find out what happened to Vinny! (It is all in good fun, nothing gruesome!)

FAQs:

What are we looking for? You will be looking for bits and pieces of history, fun artifacts and current things that are already a part of the neighborhood. You will be taking some pictures and bringing things back.

Do I need to know anything? No, the clues are fun, simple and also some are designed to educate.

Can I come alone? Yes, 90% of those attending this event will likely register on their own. You can also come with friends. Each person will need their own ticket.

Age restriction? This is for anyone 21 or older.
