À propos de cette aventure

Jersey City Heights is a quirky fun neighborhood - both in the past and the present. Learn how Jersey City Heights was a center for filming silent movies during the beginning of the 1900s and then became a party town for soldiers going off to war. 

Closer to the present time, Richie Havens and other great musicians lived in the Heights. Now you will find live music, events, and public art. Discover Jersey City Heights with Walter Parks and listen to people of the community tell their stories!

Est-ce pour vous ?

Pour qui c'est

Music lovers drawn to Richie Havens, silent-film fans and Heights locals will get a walk of a little over two hours past his last home, the Pathe Movie Studio site, murals and Riverview Park, with Walter Parks and neighbors telling the stories. Friends and couples who like street art and live-music haunts will feel at home. Anyone who wants a guide to question in person, or cannot manage 3.8 km on foot, should choose something else.

Questions fréquemment posées

What is there to see in JC Heights on this walk?
The route takes in the Pathe Movie Studio site from the silent-film era, The Statuary, Richie Havens' last home, a run of public murals, the original Kaleidoscope studio, LoFi, the site of the Grand View Hall, Riverview Park, Vault Allure and Fox & Crow.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at the Pathe Movie Studio Site and finishes at Fox & Crow. The route is a loop of about 3.8 km, and the app leads you from stop to stop in order, so you do not need to plan the way yourself.
How long does it take?
Most players take a little over two hours, around 130 minutes, including walking about 3.8 km and solving the puzzles at each stop. You can go at your own pace and take longer if you linger at the murals or in Riverview Park.
Does it cost anything, and can we play as a group?
It is free to play. Friends, couples or a group of neighbors can walk it together on a phone, listening to Walter Parks and local voices and working out the puzzles as a team.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking is needed and there is no group to join or guide to meet. Start whenever you like, pause partway, and continue later. Make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a power bank, since the walk runs for over two hours.
