Shakespeare grew up surrounded by the Forest of Arden. New Yorkers have Central Park, an 843-acre urban oasis. Shakespeare in the Park has become as New Yorkian as a bagel with cream cheese. In this game you will hike easily up to the two highest natural points in Central Park and experience Shakespeare’s storytelling in a whole new light. Have a nap, cross-dress, buy a house, escape a lion’s clutches and even marry. This exploration game has it all. Ready? When you’re ready, enter stage left! Highlights include: • Explore Mariner's Gate, Summit Rock, Heart of Seneca Village (The Wilson House) and lesser-known places. • Enjoy a uniquely crafted story brought to you by our top-notch/gifted/talented writers. After your booking, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download and play the game on your phone. We recommend that each user purchases a ticket for an optimal experience, although several people can share a phone.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $8.
