Scavenger hunt

I learned during the scavenger hunt that theater is everywhere in NYC. Whether it is an actual theater, or souvenir. One of the items was to find the sad and happy theater masks. After we found one, I kept noticing them all over. Many clues surprised me as I am not very familiar with theater history in NYC. The most interesting find of the scavenger hunt was the arrest that happened in front of a theater. It was just something I never heard of and it was fun to be in place of something I had just found. I also enjoyed seeing how many restaurants are dedicated to theater. And then that made me realize how many themed restaurants there are out there. There is theater everywhere. I felt that I was learning history as we found each clue. The experience was a good one. I had never participated in a scavenger hunt before, so I was really curious to see how it would be set up. I feel that if the weather was nicer, more clues would have been found. I really enjoyed figuring out the answers to clues and directing ourselves there. It was a great way to learn about all the theater that NYC has to offer in just 90 minutes. It was very memorable. It was also cool to see other teams post their answers, and wishing we were able to figure it out. For example, I believe that a team used Ripley’s Believe It Or Not as a Vaudeville house. After seeing that my teammates and me thought to ourselves that we were right there! Overall running around Times Square made me realize how many plays there are out. It’s amazing that there are so many productions and how adored they are. Not to mention the actual stores dedicated to the shows.
