HOW IT WORKS
WhyzzExplorerNYC is meant for families that want to learn about New York City and the world together. Through an Object Hunt and a Food Challenge we offer you fun stories about why New York City is such an exciting place and about the challenges the city faces. Use the tool to create fun and memorable family experiences!
​
​Find the Things
Walk around town and keep your eyes open for the objects on the list. Once you found one thing check the box and click on the image to read the story. No need to stay in the order of the images.
Make sure everyone gets a reward for finding all the things – How about an ice cream?
​
Since WhyzzExplorer doesn’t require registration your found objects stay marked off through the use of cookies. Make sure to use the same device you started with to finish the object hunt.
​
​Food Challenge
Food is an essential part of every culture. Try different dishes with your kids to learn about the many different cultures in the melting pot New York City. Every family member gets their own check box (P for parent, K for kid). The food challenge dishes also stay marked off through the use of cookies.
​
“Where to eat” recommendations are made with the help of Yelp, Tripadvisor and Grubstreet. Check for ratings and reviews and make sure the dishes meet your dietary requirements! Who in your family is allowed to try a dish needs to be decided by you as parents.
​
Quiz
After you've finished the object hunt and food challenge all in your family can test their knowledge in a short quiz. Agree on a prize for the winner before you start!
