**\*TO ATTEND GET TICKETS AT:** [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/grand-central-murder-mystery-scavenger-hunt-tickets-1039615376577?](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/grand-central-murder-mystery-scavenger-hunt-tickets-1039615376577) (This is co-organized by 30+ groups so don't go by RSVPs you see here. We'll have a good # attending. Must prepay to attend.) You don’t need any special skills — just a sense of adventure and curiosity! This unique scavenger hunt is all about connecting, uncovering history, exploring Grand Central and solving a mystery. Join us for a fun, social adventure at our Grand Central Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunt. Get ready to have a good time making new friends and solving a mystery. Plus, you'll find out things about Grand Central you never knew before! How It Works: * **When you arrive we will put you on teams - if you don’t already have one (90% of those attending will not have a team).** * **Each team will be given a list of clues and 75 minutes to head to Grand Central to uncover the mystery of Mary’s demise. The team with the most points wins.** * **Once everyone is back we'll safely socialize where you can share your experiences with the others.** The Theme: Meet Up Mary is a regular on the social circuit in New York. You'd probably know her if you've been out before. She was very personable, friendly and bubbly! Unfortunately Mary met a horrific end at Grand Central and the police need you help to solve her case! Join us for this fun and educational night where you will get to explore every corner of the NYC Landmark in ways that you never have before! (If you have participated in our other Grand Central Hunts no worries as this is a completely different experience) FAQs: **Can I come alone?** Yes about 90% will attend on their own. **What's dress code?** Wear what you had on at work. It's casual and comfortable. **What are the ages?** 21 and over. We'll have a good mix of ages. **How much to attend?** $25 (goes to $35 as event gets closer). **Do I have to buy in advance?** Yes. Space is limited and this will sell out.

By lantern-light (well… flashlights and street lamps), you’ll explore haunted sites, uncover chilling stories, and race to solve clues that lurk in the shadows of the Financial District. It’s the perfect mix of fright and fun: explore, learn, laugh—and maybe get a shiver or two! We’ll split you into teams and equip you with everything you need to take on the hunt. Space is limited, so claim your spot… if you dare. 👀 After your haunted quest, stick around for a festive social at a nearby venue to share ghost stories, laughs, and a well-earned drink. **How It Works** 5:00 PM sharp – Check in at the registration point. Come solo or with friends—we’ll form teams of about 5 people. Teams will have 90 minutes to track down as many clues as possible. Prizes awarded to the team with the most correct finds. (All clues come directly from the history, geography, and buildings of the area—we don’t plant anything.) Following the hunt you are invited to our party at Blind Barber in the East Village for free! What You’ll Discover From the 1600s to today, Lower Manhattan has witnessed hangings, hauntings, massacres, explosions, and mysteries. Along the way you’ll scour Bowling Green to City Hall, visit allegedly haunted sites, and uncover fascinating historical markers while piecing together the city’s darker past. **Event Details** Cost: $25 General Admission / $20 Lifetime VIP Members Ages: 21+ (most attendees are in their 30s & 40s, with plenty in their 20s & 50s too) Dress: Comfortable/casual shoes and clothing recommended Come solo!

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn + Motion Picture Pop Quiz presents: Ryan's Babe

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn + Motion Picture Pop Quiz presents: Ryan's Babe

Fri, Nov 13, 12:00 AM
From Bad Movie Night Brooklyn
4.9

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn is back at **Wild East Brewing**, and this time it's more than just a movie night! We're joining forces with **[Motion Picture Pop Quiz](https://motionpicturepopquiz.com/ "https://motionpicturepopquiz.com/")** for a hilarious, one-night only, audience-fueled gameshow experience! And what better movie to stump judges and audiences alike than the iconically baffling Rom-Com roadtrip film, **Ryan's Babe**! Declared "The Best of the Worst" by RedLetter Media, and compared to films like The Room by bad film enthusiasts, Ryan's Babe is an absolute headscratcher, filled with nonsensical plot points, ADR, deus ex machinas that go absolutely nowhere. So kick back, try to follow every bizarre twist and turn, and you might even go home with a prize or two! Plot: After being run out of town by the vengeful father of the girl he loves, Ryan discovers that hitting the road won't solve all of his problems, instead its just the beginning! Ryan falls into one circumstantial trouble after another. From getting car-jacked at gun-point, being mistaken for a mobster’s son, to a run-in with cheerleaders intent on vigilante justice, Ryan barely escapes one mess before landing in the middle of another. Finally able to go home, Ryan heads back out on the highway. But has his luck really changed, or is there only more trouble in store for our charming hero? About Motion Picture Pop Quiz: Motion Picture Pop Quiz is a movie screening party (with a trivia twist!) thats been featured in various NYC bars and movie theaters (such as Nitehawk Cinema) for the past 2 years! **Here's how it work:** * Participants will watch Ryan's Babe. * As it plays, judges will be closely watching the movie and come up with questions on the spot, these question can range from simple to hyper specific. * At the end of the section, each panelist will present their questions to the audience. * Answers will be graded on correctness OR creativity, so if you don't know the answer, just make something up * Points will be converted to entries for a randomized drawing after the film. The more points you have, the more chances you have to get picked! * So drop in at anytime! It doesn't matter how knowledgable, funny, or attentive you are, anyone can be a winner tonight!
