Clueless Race in New York City
May 24th, 2010 | 
Author: Planning a trip to New York City in June? If so, check out the CitySolve Urban Race NYC , happening June 19th, and consider participating, because the grand Championship prize is $5,000. The race is an ultimate urban adventure game, where teams solve clever clues and face fun challenges as they get to discover New York City in a fun new way. If you and a partner sign up, you’ll receive a CitySolve Urban Race t-shirt and race number, get listed on the National Championship Qualifier for the top 25 teams only, get a chance to win $5,000 in the National Championship in New Orleans.
Once you’ve registered for this nutty experience, you and your partner will be on a lively, 1-day, New York City’s version of Amazing Race. You’ll get clues for a scavenger hunt that will take you to unmarked checkpoints, which are called ‘SOLVEpoints’ and get a chance to explore the City that you would otherwise not have gotten a chance to see. This race is a high octane adventure that will take you and your partner through neighborhoods like Midtown, Chelsea, Greenwich Village and some nifty New York City hotels , some you’ve never heard about, but are just as interesting as the more popular hotels.
Hopefully, you’re good at solving clues that run the gambit from pop-culture to 8th grade math problems to anagrams, American history and sudoku. If you’re good at Trivial Pursuit, you’ll really like this race. There will also be some different challenges, like having to bowl a strike, identify a flavor of ice cream, build a house of cards or put together a puzzle. The only thing that could ruin this fantastic CitySolve Urban Race NYC, is the weather, like a freak snow storm, or an out of the blue tornado.
Check in is at 11am and the race begins at Noon. 1st place wins $300 and a free Championship entry at New Orleans; 2nd place wins 2 Timbuk2 Bags (worth $100 each) and free entry to the Championships; 3rd place wins free Championship entry; and a $50 gift certificate for the best uniform, best Tweet, best family under 18 and best Senior 55 and older.
If you don’t plan to participate, hopefully as your sightseeing at the usual sights in New York City, you jsut might get a glimpse of CitySolve teams struggling with clues or challenges and see just how much fun they’re having.
