Accomplice The Show

I have done two of the Accomplice Shows, The Village and New York. New York was the first one I did (in April 2015), and I was truly blown away by it. I took my friend, who is native New Yorker, and she felt the same way. This show is the longest, about 3 hours, and requires a bit of walking. But that didn’t bother us at all, as we got to see many different parts of downtown, and the show features places to sit and eat/​drink. Also, it’s great because you are by no means rushed during your experience, and it really feels like a tour/​exploration. Without revealing anything, I’ll just say that you experience many surprises and characters, and you end up thinking that every person you see is part of the show! The world that is created by the show is so magical and mysterious, and there really isn’t any other experience like it. I did the Village show in November 2015, and felt similarly. I took my boyfriend this time around, and he was completely in awe of it! Even though I had done the NY show, I had a totally new and magical experience with this show. Completely different story, and it’s bit shorter, around 2 hours. You get to explore the West Village, arguably one of the most charming areas of the city, and food/​drinks are also involved. Definitely wear comfortable shoes, and check the weather before you go! Even though this wasn’t my experience, I’m sure it would be a great birthday experience, as you could have your whole party do the show together, and have a really silly and memorable time.

We did this for a friends birthday yesterday and had so much fun the entire time! I have lived in NYC 17 years and have done many fun things NYC has to offer but this will certainly be at the top of my list! The idea is clever and fun and there is really no time at all to be bored! The actors and the clues are really clever and engaging! Throughout the entire scavenger hunt, at least 9 times (or more) I turned to the group I was with and said, out loud, «This is so much fun!».They all agreed! It is something unique and different and a fun way to find new places around the city and meet new people in your group! I’m floored by some of the negative reviews but I imagine those people are taking it WAY too seriously and expecting way too much! Its meant to be a fun novelty-​type way to spend a few hours and have a few laughs! I recommended it to a friend for her daughters 13^th birthday and they LOVED it too! I definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for something different and clever in NYC! I will be doing again with other friends too!

Group of 10 young adults + parents went on 1÷9÷16. Everyone had a terrific time. Walking around lower Manhattan was a treat and the event was cleverly done and well executed. Excellent way to create an enjoyable memory for your family. We’ve also done Escape the Room. Both involve some puzzle solving, but Escape the Room puzzles were much more challenging. The Accomplice was much more easy going and the cast interactions were a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Did Accomplice the Village and was pretty disappointed. A friend and I bought discounted tickets for a Black Friday sale, but still at $ 45, I didn’t think it was worth it.
Other people have been raving about the regular Accomplice, so maybe check that out if you’re dying to try this out.
Not giving anything away, you literally go to 6 different stops where you talk to an actor for 15 minutes; they give you a bit more story and guide you to the next spot. What I didn’t like was that they pretty much tell you where next to go. There’s no scavenger aspect and I didn’t feel like I was really trying to find Delilah. Frankly, I didn’t care for the journey at all.
You do get two drinks (wouldn’t recommend the Village Accomplice for children as one spot is in a bar).
Also, the acting is over the top — they play up a lot of harsh stereotypes and it was just overbearing at times.

Ok where do I start…
This was not fun. It was a huge waste of time and money. The plot was ridiculous, the actors were arrogant, lazy and rude. The most insulting part is they used the opportunity to make digs, racists and sexist remarks, passed off as «hahaha, aren’t I clever improv actor, lol, hashtag?»
About 15mins into this 2 hour hell ride, our entire group had zero interest in finding Delilah. I can confidently say this because it was said audibly by everyone in my group.
If anyone has ever done LiveIn Theatre, this is a sad imitation of the real deal. Sorry I was not impressed. Do yourself a favor and spend your money on an Escape the Room adventure.
If you must give this a try, make sure to arrive drunk because this is the only thing that will make this show enjoyable.

Loved it. I was looking for a murder mystery dinner, and this was so much better. We had to follow clues like a scavenger hunt. It was a fantastic way to see the village and explore the neighborhood.
The characters were great. The shop owners were terrific.
We even loved the drinks and snacks that were completely part of the New York experience.
If you have two hours, this is a fantastic way to spend the afternoon.

This was a great Saturday activity! My mom and I went and we both had a ton of fun. Our group was a mix from 22yrs to 50yrs, some tourists and some native New Yorkers and we all had a great time! We did Accomplice NY (eat beforehand and wear walking shoes) and would definitely do The Village some day as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique to do in the city.

I took my boyfriend here as a surprise. We had the option to choose between going on our own (for our original time slot) or joining another group at the next time slot. I’m definitely glad we joined the group. Having more people definitely makes it more enjoyable.
Without giving anything away, make sure you eat beforehand. The area is pretty empty. If, like us, you try to grab a bite to eat just before the show, you’ll find little to no options nearby.
I loved that the show took place in different formats and the surprises that they had along the way. This is definitely a great way to see some of the city, experience a scavenger hunt, and have a little bit of mystery thrown in.
There is a lot of walking involved and I recommend parents utilize discretion when deciding whether or not to bring their children.
Our group was comprised of a good variety of people and everyone loved it!
Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes and check the weather beforehand!

I wanted to do something fun with my aunt for her birthday. She typically takes me to see broadway shows for my birthday, so I wanted to do something different. I googled «fun birthday ideas in NYC» and Accomplice showed up. I’m always wary about things that seem «touristy», so I made sure to check out reviews before buying tickets. All of the reviews were great and seemed to indicate this «show» is great for both new yorkers and tourists. So I gave it a try and bought tickets for the West Village show for my aunt and I.
It was sooo much fun!!! I think the groups are typically 10 people, but we only had 5 people in our group, so it was very intimate. Two of the them were on their honeymoon and originally from Ireland and the other was a woman from Chicago. It’s fun because you have the opportunity to get to know other people during the «mission» in addition to enjoying the show. I can’t say much more without spoiling anything, so go buy tickets! We will definitely try the downtown show in the spring!

Amazing. Shocking, Laugh out loud funny. Intriguing. Mysterious. Well timed. Surprising. Oh and a lot of [bleep] fun!!!

I loved it. My cousin did this for her bachelorette party and all the girls had such an amazing time!!! Yes you do have to wear comfortable shoes because you are running around the city for two three hours but it’s worth it. It’s a whole lot of fun

Probably the coolest thing I’ve done in New York this summer. I ordered the Manhattan option for my wife’s surprise birthday party, a party of 9 people. The actors were incredible, it was a lot of fun, and it was a very creative way to see different parts of the city.

Five months ago we did Accomplice New York today we came back to do the village both were well thought out and excellent. The characters get into there roles and make you part of the show. Hope that another show will be added in the future.

About six months after our first run of Accomplice we went back for the other, longer, show. Um… Amazing! This time we had: my 75-​year-​old-​mother, a 16-​year-​old Dutch student (male), a 17-​year-​old Italian exchange student (male), a 31 yo native New Yorker and a 36 yo native New Yorker. We still haven’t shut up. This version is a little longer (and pricier) that the other but worth every penny.
We had several other people in our group but that made it even more fun. No one broke character, they were insane — like I was blown away, and and because we were the last group of the day we weren’t rushed. Yay!
That was so great that the following July I bought tix for my girlfriend for her birthday present as part of a girls’ weekend in NYC. We did the shorter one and it was redone and even more awesome than the first time. They enriched it with some new stuff, took out some of the things that hadn’t really worked. It was fresh and fun. The rest of our group loved it, too.
And today or tomorrow I’ll be buying tix for November when my husband and I will be in town with a friend. Doing the longer show to indoctrinate an accomplice virgin and because my husband hasn’t done that one yet.
There are now new shows… A kid friendly and a ladies show (whatever the heck that is). I will find excuses for us to do both.
Keep it coming, Accomplice!

The Accomplice is so much fun. I’ve done it 3 times now in 3 years with my kids when they visit NYC and we always have a blast. Such a great way to explore the city as a tourist too… I wish they ran shows in more places.

My girlfriend and I did the West Village show and had a blast. The actors were engaging and funny and didn’t just give away the clues — we had to work a bit for it. We were a group of 10 with 3 different parties and it was fun meeting the other people and getting to see some of the quirkier stores and streets in the Village.
Our group was all adults except for one 15-​year old boy who was very into it. I wouldn’t to be in a group with a bunch of young kids — some of the banter back and forth with the actors was a little risqué which added to the whole vibe of the show.

This was a great way to do something totally different while in NY. It forces you to explore the city in a way that you never would on your own. A mix of tour, scavenger hunt, puzzle solving — it had us engaged the entire time. We ended up passing the group ahead of us (they must have got stuck on 1 of the clues) but we didn’t know that until we had finished.
We were from out of town but locals would definitely enjoy this as well. Highly recommended and the actors who were part of the activity did a great job!

I bought tickets for my family of 6 for the day before mothers day so that we can do something fun with my mom. I had been to Accomplice before so I knew that my family would have a great time. Not only did everyone enjoy it, but my mom is STILL raving about it! We met some great new people that joined us on the tour and we didnt want to leave them, they were so cool! Accomplice is a great way to see parts of the city you havent seen before, and to also meet new people and have a great time. The actors were hysterical, we laughed so hard! I would definitely recommend this as a fun excursion for families, couples, or even people traveling alone! It’s fantastic!

So much fun! We really enjoyed the scavenger hunt like show! My advice is to wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot.
One thing I would recommend to those running this show is to possibly have children and teenagers tag along on certain days/​hours. We were the last group and had 3 teenagers in our group, most of which weren’t actually participating and were too «embarrassed» to help out. It was disappointing and frustrating for other group members. Also makes it hard to enjoy the locations with alcohol. Just a thought! Otherwise, we enjoyed it! We’ll be bringing friends/​family back and hope to try the other shows, too!

The matron of honor of a wedding party planned this for a recent bachelorette weekend in New York. We had no idea what to expect. I don’t want to give too much away so I will just give you some general advice. Bring comfortable shoes, water (if it is warm day) and an open mind. The too cool for school type will resist taking part of this initially but eventually everyone gets sucks in to the adventure and fun.
It was a great way so see different parts of the city.
If you were thinking about it and hesitating, do it!
