Suggestions for Times Square photo scavenger hunt?

[aces25]

Any ideas of what makes interesting things to find in Times Square? 

[AEA AGMA SM]

Some of the obvious things would be the various theatre marquees, the TKTS board, the statue of George M. Cohan. You could also go for other significant buildings (like the entrance to the Equity building) or architectural details (like the statues of Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Mary Pickford, and Rosa Ponselle that were restored when the I. Miller building was renovated and Express moved into the ground floors), or certain types of people (like the flyer girls for Chicago in their character shoes and red tights).

Can people use their phones? Are you going to use clues or do they just have to find something to take a picture with? For instance, you could ask them to take a picture in front of/inside the church that used to be a Broadway theater. Or you could just ask someone to find the M&M store.

A fun clue could include the big theatre map on the ground next to the big red steps. 

Maybe: where can you stand with all of the Broadway theatre names in view...or something of that sort.

What a fun idea! How about photos of....

• a street performer performing
• specific characters (Elmo, Minions, a living statue, etc)
• someone wearing show swag
• one point per marquee
• one point per show flyer
• a historical marker
• something from Jack's
• graffiti
• throw in some generic stuff like a dog, a pigeon, red shoes, a bicycle, etc.

Or you could get clever with it and make every item a reference to a Broadway show. Can you snap a pic of a guy with a doll, kinky boots, a (weird and unusual) plant, a dinglehopper, etc.

How about a photo of someone holding up a sign that says:

WHY LIE? ITS FOR BEER
