For our latest mission, over 7,000 people pressed play simultaneously and listened to an mp3 file filled with ridiculous instructions at Manhattan's South Street Seaport. Participants were instructed to dress as tourists to blend in with the crowd and surprise real tourists with their unexpected synchronized actions. This was all part of our tenth annual Mp3 Experiment event.

Don't stop doing these experiments, because I plan to join when I'm older

[@princesstav]

You're old enough already! I did this last year and children were there. Just bring a parent!

[@dillpickle2132]

[@TheBrightLow]

Improv Everywhere but everything is always in New York.. :/

[@124hawa]

Tyler White move to New York it's fun

[@beesuschrist1167]

It's expensive

[@TokyoTomboi]

They've done things in Venice Beach, too.

[@SamPhoenix_]

+Tyler White So... Not everywhere.

[@shawn.spencer]

You can book them everywhere you want.

[@EvenStevenProz]

What if the pier reached maximum weight and they all fell into the river ._.

[@ft_kaitothekiller6828]

Fuck it that's part of the show now

[@GeneralWarned]

Thank God he said 'Take your bubbles out' first.

[@Roserayrose]

Any real tourists will just think this is something that happens all the time in NYC and that makes me smile

[@supleted]

3:36 "I want to see as much red flapping in the wind as possible"
Good thing no one took it out of context.

[@m123c456r789]

***** "I want to see your item tossing up in the air, on the count of 3, 1.. 2.. 3.. TOSS!"

[@corinnaQueen]

I started crying when i saw all those happy people!!
Why can't humans always be like that? Meeting up, doing something good together and just be happy? :)

[@lukelemmons8650]

Things like these are so cool, they should make this an annual thing, like every year the same day in major cities.

[@maggiethemuggle972]

Luke Lemmons it already is annual :)

[@aretwodeetwo1260]

It'd be hilarious if this mob was giving signals to aliens when they didn't even know it.

[@Radascota]

Haha

[@donwayne533]

If I was a stranger I'd be yelling for them to give me the dollar bills.

[@acunamii]

This was sooo much fun to do. I was finally able to knock this one off my bucket list :)

[@acunamii]

google improv everywhere and go on their website! From there you'll be able to see if they're coming near you any time soon and also sign up for their email where they'll email you about anything you can come out and get involved with :)

[@CassidyIrwin]

i wanna do this sooooo bad

[@bloobla1931]

[@mayonnaise2001]

What an amazing way to spread happiness

[@mcrr]

I would love to do this just seeing everyone's faces😂

[@rizza8906]

This is by far my favorite mp3 experiment ... the strangers are more than willing to have fun on whatever is going on here as shown in 1:29 where the couple's leading them on a dance, same with 1:33 .
Their reaction when given a dollar at 1:47 , 1:54 "Thank you I'll take it", and 1:58 "I'm collectinggg dollarrrrsssss" and etc. love them all

[@nervousdorito3696]

This is so creative! Congratz to them, just got another subscriber :D

[@ScudoCamperx]
