Join us for the inaugural 2nd Place Race. The object is simple: collect just enough points – puzzles, challenges, games, trading and tricking – to finish in second place! Also, no running required! Remember: winning is more important than coming in first!
The hunt begins at Quig’s (1714 Delancey Street (Plays & Players, third floor)). Doors open right at 5pm, so teams (can be any size) should arrive 5:00pm or after. As teams arrive, I will give out the instructions and details for the evening. The fun starts immediately! Later, teams travel a short distance to the Black Sheep for more fun and to hang out (6:45-8), before ending the night at Devil’s Alley (8:15-9:30).
As teams solve puzzles/challenges and play games, they begin to collect points (that can later be traded with other teams). Keep checking the leader board and see if your team can land in second place. At the end of the event the team that ends up in second place wins!!!
So, grab a partner or two or more & sign up; then on the night of the hunt be sure to dress for the weather (you will be outside between bars!) & get ready to go for silver! The event is open to everyone, but it is suggested that all team members be over 21 (all the indoor stops are bars).

This year the hunt will benefit Paper Doll Ensemble – a feminist theatre collective whose original plays combine comedy, dance, theatre, and visual art to create captivating worlds with character-driven narratives. Their “tragicomedy” style illuminates the absurdity of everyday life and our political climate. Since their inception in 2017, PDE has been featured at Plays & Players Theatre, the Philly Fringe Festival, Alabama International Fringe, and “East to Edinburgh” with 59E59 Theaters in New York.
