As the largest city in the U.S., New York is plumb-full of a million things to see and do. Even though you can barely walk a couple blocks without running into famous neighborhoods, landmarks and museums, most people still tackle the task of exploring the city with a tour book in hand. Unfortunately, a lot of tour books only explain how to get to popular spots; not what you should do when you arrive.

For a more interactive approach to the city, you might want to consider showing up for a Watson Adventures Scavenger hunt. In small teams, you can explore places like Central Park, Times Square, Museums, the Zoo and Grand Central Station by following clues. With someone guiding you through each attraction, you will learn more things than any tour book will teach and have fun during the process.

Of course, Watson Adventure scavenger hunts are popular with many tourists who are exploring the city for the first time, but the scavenger hunts are a great way to encourage team building in New York businesses as well. After all, as one of the world’s largest centers for finance and commerce, there are a lot of businesses flourishing within the boundaries of the city; and they all could benefit from better team work among employees.

Scavenger hunts are a good way to encourage team building because they involve every team member and they are fun. And, if you want people to work well together, get them to play well together first. That way, communication skills, friendships, and trust are already in place before they tackle real-world problems.

Whether you are just trying to have a good time in New York or working to build better teams, Watson Adventure Scavenger hunts are a great way to invest your time and your money. So grab a good pair of shoes and put your thinking caps on. There’s a metropolitan jungle to explore.
