How it works

Get ready to unleash your inner New Yorker with Big Apple Ultimate Game Show, a fast-paced team-building experience that taps into the energy of the city that never slows down. This high-energy event drops your group into a game-show-style competition where quick thinking, smart teamwork, and a little NYC attitude go a long way. Whether you’re a lifelong local or just love the magic of Manhattan, you will take on challenges that put your grit, wit, and collaboration to the test.

For 90 minutes, teams bond through activities inspired by iconic game shows. You will jump between the strategy and suspense of Jeoparty! and the adrenaline of Price Hike, where teams work together to guess the prices of local NYC products, art, and swag. The gameplay is designed to keep everyone involved, with moments that reward strong communication, group decision-making, and plenty of friendly competition.

By the end, your team will have shared laughs, inside jokes, and a stronger sense of unity. Gather your fellow NYC enthusiasts and get ready for 90 minutes of nonstop fun.
