The New York City mayoral frontrunner announced the hunt Sunday in a video titled \u201cGame On\u201d, where he was filmed eating the same brand and flavour of potato chips that a campaign aide for Mayor Adams allegedly stuffed with money and handed to a reporter last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got something to hide. A lot of things, in fact,\u201d said Mamdani, munching on the potato chips as he announced the scavenger hunt.<\/p>\n
A Zcavenger hunt in NYC<\/p>\n
The hunt started outside the Society of Saint Tammany in Union Square, according to a report in The New York Post. Contestants were tasked with following \u201ca series of clues, all related to a very particular theme in New York City history,\u201d Mamdani said. The hunt concluded at a final location, where a prize awaited, though he promised it would not be cash.<\/p>\n
The hunt proved so popular that volunteers ran out of cue cards for participants.<\/p>\n
On X, participants used the hashtag #ZcavengerHunt as they moved from one location to the next with the help of their clues.<\/p>\n
The final prize <\/p>\n
Participants who made it to the end received a token prize \u2013 a cup of chai and a photo with Mamdani.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile a photo and a chai was technically the prize at the end I think its important to point out that no one was really in it for a prize, the real takeaway was a great day exploring the city with everyone,\u201d wrote X user Sarah Mia, who called it an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso at the end was QR codes to see what else to do in Astoria (including restaurant recommendations) and ways to get involved with the campaign. I just think it was both a smart campaign activity and a very enjoyable thing for anyone who got to join,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Another participant shared a photograph with the strawberry chai tea she got as the prize.<\/p>\n
Mamdani supporter Jeremy Wilcox wrote: \u201cThe prize? A photo and a meet with the candidate himself (obviously), and a free iced chai (which Mamdani has said in interviews is his favorite drink in the neighborhood).\u201d<\/p>\n
Indian-origin Zohran Mamdani is the son of noted filmmaker Mira Nair and Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani. He had earlier hosted \u201cChai with Zohran\u201d sessions throughout his campaign in an effort to connect with voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zohran Mamdani\u2019s scavenger hunt drew hundreds of enthusiasts to the streets of New York City on Sunday.
