New York is the most populous city in the United States. It is divided into five big districts, called boroughs. The most famous is Manhattan, a long, narrow island between two rivers. Before the Europeans, the Lenape lived here, and they called the island Manahatta. In the 1600s the Dutch founded the village of New Amsterdam on its southern tip.

The sights along the route
The route crosses the southern tip of Manhattan, where the city was born. It passes the most photographed bronze bull in America. It enters a paved alley that is still as narrow as in Dutch times. It stops in front of a church that was once the tallest building in the city. You'll discover the rest stop after stop.
There are seven stops and about two kilometers on foot, all on flat ground. You'll need about two and a half hours of play, plus your breaks. The route does not return to the starting point and ends near the subway and buses.
History and culture, lived through play
Every stop tells a piece of history. You'll meet Dutch merchants, presidents, famous singers and artists who came from far away. There are questions about art and traditions, riddles, anagrams and small logic puzzles. The questions are designed for children aged 9 and up and for their parents.
You don't need to know everything already. Many answers can be found by looking carefully at what is in front of you, others by reasoning together. The streets are wide and busy: always cross at the crosswalks, when the white walking person lights up. That way a walk becomes a challenge to play as a team.
An adventure that continues
After the hunt, New York still has plenty to offer families. You can walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, with the city behind you and the river below. From Whitehall Terminal, the ferry to Staten Island sails close to the big green statue in the harbor.
Further north, Central Park is a huge park with ponds, rocks and meadows. Nearby, the American Museum of Natural History keeps the skeletons of giant dinosaurs. Every neighborhood has its own story: the next hunt is waiting for you.
