What kind of experience are you looking for?
And which city?
ChangeBig Apple kick-off
The hunt begins! Find a typical New York backdrop (a yellow cab, a fire escape, a bagel cart) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time. Everyone off the ground or it does not count.
Brooklyn Bridge skyline shot
The Brooklyn Bridge offers one of the most photographed views in the world. Walk a few steps onto the bridge and take a group photo with the cables and the Manhattan skyline behind you.
Central Park picnic pose
Plop down on the grass in Central Park and take a casual group photo as if you have been chilling there all afternoon. Nobody is allowed to stand up straight.
Checkpoint: Brooklyn Bridge
Navigate to the Manhattan-side entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge and check in once you can see the cables running over the East River.
Checkpoint: Central Park
Time for some greenery. Navigate to Central Park and check in once the skyscrapers fade behind a wall of trees.
Checkpoint: Empire State Building
Navigate to the foot of the most iconic skyscraper in the world: the Empire State Building. Check in once the whole team is craning their necks upward.
Checkpoint: Times Square
The crossroads of the world is your first stop. Navigate to Times Square and check in once the neon billboards are flashing above your heads.
Group finale in NYC
The final challenge! Find a beautiful New York spot (a bridge, a square, a skyline view) and take an amazing group photo with the whole team in shot. A photo for the ages, well done everyone!
King Kong group hang
King Kong climbed it once, you take a photo with it. Pose as a group at the foot of the Empire State Building, with everyone pretending to climb, point or look up in awe. The hammier, the better.
