Sponsored

Next time you visit NYC, why not take your kids on an adventure in Central Park! Check out #TheQuestForTheSevenTeeth by Accomplice Show, an interactive theatre experience written exclusively for kids. It's perfect for birthday parties, camps, school trips and awesome family fun! 

 

Accomplice, an interactive theater group that combines the fun of a scavenger hunt with improvisational theater, has two new shows for the summer season. Starting May 2016, kids will be able to experience The Quest for the Seven Teeth, a new interactive experience through Central Park; and The Quest for the Missing Slipper, a ladies' night out based on the Cinderella fairy tale. 

 

Last weekend I had the opportunity to visit Central Park and experience the kids show with my 9 year old son Preston. We ran around the park meeting mythical characters like trolls and fairies and visiting landmarks like the Delacorte Theatre, Belvedere Castle, the Alice in Wonderland Statue and the Boathouse, while wandering through secret forests, peaceful streams, and lovely historic bridges. The kids also did puzzles, made crafts and baked cookies as they fed the Troll and searched for clues with the tree fairy and the Queen of Hearts. 

Franklin, the tooth fairy's cousin, asks for help and offers clues.  


Tobias, the tree fairy, gives clues to Preston after making him hunt for eggs.


The group gathers clues for the next mission.

The Quest for the Seven Teeth was created to ignite children’s imaginations as they embark on an exciting and meaningful outdoor quest. Lasting approximately two hours, the show runs rain or shine in Central Park and was designed for children 6-11 years old, but can be adjusted for the audience at hand.  The cost is $1,000 based on group bookings of 10 children, accompanied by up to five adults. 

 

Accomplice currently runs three additional shows including its original concept Accomplice New York, a three-hour tour through lower Manhattan; Accomplice The Village, a two-hour tour through one of the city’s most recognizable neighborhoods; and Save the Big Apple, a full-day luxury expedition throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.  Apart from its works for the public, Accomplice has also created the stationary theatrical event, Cabinet of Curiosities, an immersive cocktail party including elements of carnival and side-show characters designed expressly for adult corporate and private events and priced upon request.

I received tickets to this show in consideration for this review.
