Part romcom, part literary classic updated, this self-guided exploration game is based on the 100-year-old book on every high school reading list: The Great Gatsby. Roam through Midtown with Nick, Daisy and Gatsby, from the Yale Club by Grand Central past the Pershing Square arch, Library Way and the Diamond District to Rockefeller Center, and feel the giddiness of urban life and the hilarious tension of romantic confusion.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 3 km and takes around 2.5 hours, with no time limit.

Ready for a manhunt, chase scenes and romantic mayhem?
