COLOR WAR NYC 🌈🏁
EARLY BIRD PRICING UNTIL JUNE 1ST
Team Up. Gear Up. Battle for Bragging Rights.
This isn’t your average picnic in the park.
Welcome to COLOR WAR NYC, an all-out social competition where strangers become teammates, teams become rivals, and chaos becomes community. Get ready for an afternoon packed with relay races, team games, hilarious challenges, surprise twists, and high-energy summer vibes.
Participants will be drafted into one of four competing teams:

🟡 YELLOW TEAM

Once registered, participants will complete a quick pre-event team assignment quiz to determine their official color team.
