What To Expect
Grand Central Terminal was built by and named for the New York Central Railroad; it also served the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and, later, successors to the New York Central. Opened in 1913, the terminal was built on the site of two similarly-named predecessor stations, the first of which dates to 1871. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building
The library, officially chartered as The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations, was developed in the 19th century, founded from an amalgamation of grass-roots libraries and social libraries of bibliophiles and the wealthy, aided by the philanthropy of the wealthiest Americans of their age. Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

3.00It was nice to have a self guided tour without a group or host...and clues were clear and when we needed hints they were helpful. But... The description said we could do anytime and while that was technically true, most of the places we visited were closed...it decreased the value of the trip bc we couldnt expand exploration of each stop ... ny library, magic shop, etc. In addition tour was supposed to be 90 approx time to complete but 2 hours in we were not even half way done...way too long. Would recommend with these revisions and would do again with these adjustments.
had so much fun exploring with this app

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience and the story was immersive too! I learned so much about the main attractions in the midtown area that I would've otherwise not come across. Highly recommended if your time is limited or if you want to pretend you're a tourist in your hometown. You never know what new stuff you can learn!
Crazy time & directions

4.00Description of tour says approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes It took us 9 hours...we did stop along the way to look at things and take pictures so I'd say we spent about 6and a half to 7 hours actually doing this tour. Still way more than an hour and 15 minutes. Someone really needs to rework the directions to follow in the app because to get to prometheus directions were wonky. Directions to the roundels were completely off we never did actually find the roundels and the directions to 6 and 1/2 Ave had us 4 streets over from where we should have been. But even after all that it was still a fun time.
