Teams are given a file with maps, clues and photos to try and solve a ransom note and free the hostage within the time limit.  Teams use their transparent maps to reveal clues by aligning them with existing street signs in Time Square.  When the map is perfectly aligned, certain letters are revealed as key clues in solving the mystery ransom note.  These clues reveal the location where the hostage is being kept.  The team that releases the hostage fastest wins.
