How it works

1 · Register once

One form, one time. You get a hunter number and an NYC call sign — GOTHAM PIGEON, MIDNIGHT NIGHTHAWK. That pair is your key to every hunt.

2 · Pick a hunt

Each hunt is a themed route with real stops, real addresses, and a task at every one — worth 5 to 25 points.

3 · Bring back proof

Photo check-ins from your phone at each stop. The judges review every shot — points land when they approve.

4 · Claim the glory

Leaderboard settles it. Winners get bragging rights and possibly a T-shirt. No entry fee — this site never touches money.
