About this Event

Get ready to play a game that takes you through New York’s secret-filled island and discover why Roosevelt Island is considered architecturally, historically, and culturally significant by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.

You’ll learn about the island’s Dutch past and how it later went from a Welfare Island to a Lunatic Asylum to what it is today, a thriving community, as you find out how the past speaks to the present and future.

Are you ready to play an exciting island exploration game?

The route you’re going to follow in the city is sprinkled with unique places, fun clues and challenges, and incredible stories.

The experience will play out like you’re the main characters of a movie, only that you’re experiencing everything in first person! Fun dialogue, intrigue, and unexpected interactions are guaranteed.
