What to expect

Go on a magical walking tour in Midtown, Manhattan! Explore the legends and history of some of Manhattan’s busiest streets. Follow clues and challenges to unlock secrets to tourist favorites like the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, or to 6 ½ Avenue, which much like Harry Potter, is something only those special enough know exist.

Each clue will lead you from one place to another by providing you with exact directions so you won't need a map, GPS, or guide. As you solve the problem and guess the answer, the secret story of that place is unlocked.

Storyline:

You’re a young reporter who has just moved to New York City in hopes to make your “big break.” You’ve recently received a lead that suggests magic is here in Midtown! Your lead instructs you to meet him in Grand Central, where he’ll provide you with everything you need in order to discover a Secret Society of Magical Persons.
