The Icons

Midtown's greatest hits — the skyline you came for.

8 stops · 80 points ⏱ 2.5–3 hours on foot 📍 Meet: Herald Square — 34th St & Broadway 🎟 Free pilot — bragging rights on the line

Eight stops through the postcard heart of Manhattan: the Empire State Building, Grand Central's whisper gallery, the lions of the Public Library, and the neon canyon of Times Square. No trivia degree required — just game faces and a charged phone.

The stops

1
Empire State Building10 pts
20 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001

Forced-perspective photo of a teammate "holding" the spire. King Kong poses earn +5.

2
Grand Central Terminal15 pts
89 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017

Whisper Gallery test: two teammates in opposite corners of the arch outside the Oyster Bar — video the reply arriving.

3
The Crossroads of the World10 pts
Broadway & 7th Ave, 42nd–47th St

Thumbs-up photo with any costumed character or the Naked Cowboy. Tip them a buck — that's the rule.

4
Patience & Fortitude10 pts
476 5th Ave, New York, NY 10018

Team photo mid-roar between the lions. Know which is Patience and which is Fortitude — a stranger must quiz you.

5
30 Rock10 pts
45 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10111

Atlas-shrug pose in front of the Atlas statue. +5 if the whole team holds it 30 straight seconds on video.

Best gargoyle-eagle imitation with the crown behind you. Style counts double at rush hour.

Find the ping-pong tables or the Reading Room — whole team in dramatic reading poses.

Line the team up to "pinch" the building's point from the traffic island at 5th & Broadway.
