Compass 2023
An epic, all-night, biennial puzzle adventure hosted in New York City.
COMPASS is an epic, all-night, biennial puzzle adventure hosted on the urban landscape of New York City, where teams compete against some of the sharpest minds in NYC. It is a series of the most meticulously designed, diabolically difficult, cleverly camouflaged puzzles - the answers to each indicating the location of the next - solved in sequence, until teams arrive at a spectacular, surprising finish in the wee hours of the morning. COMPASS is a non-profit event that aims to raise millions of dollars for youth and families in NYC via Good Shepherd Services, the NYC nonprofit committed to connecting over 30,000+ young people and families in NYC to opportunities for success in over 90 different programs. The Clue Creators at The Great Gotham Challenge are back again to co-design COMPASS 2023. Team entry spots are available for a tax deductible donation of $33,000 - with a limited number of individual spots available for $6,000. We realize this is a different price than a typical GGC and understand it limits participation. However, it reflects the budgets of the companies that sponsor and send the teams that you will be competing against. Almost all come from corporate-match donation programs that send entire teams, or wealthy benefactors. If you are interested in participating, we invite you to explore similar options.
Audience Role
At times your next puzzle may come from someone you need to have a conversation with.
