Ers Gotta Face Like A Bostin Boot
We’re the new kids
On the Brummy block
We love the Walsall Advertiser
And the Staffordshire knot
My name's Daz and his name’s Ant
And we write songs that are a load of pants
He thinks he’s Han and I

This scavenger hunt is so charming and smart and actively engaging. It gets New Yorkers out and about, exploring the city, talking to one another, taking advantage of public transportation and working toward a common cause. The levels! It’s just so great.
