Self-described Democratic-Socialist New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani announced on Saturday a scavenger hunt across the city with a campaign video that appears to take aim at his opponent, Mayor Eric Adams, amid recent alleged scandals surrounding Adams’ inner circle.
The clip — posted to Mamdani’s X account with the caption “game on” — begins with a camera following along a trail of potato chips that leads to Mamdani, who is sitting on a bench eating from a bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion ripple chips.

The video, which had garnered more than 30,000 likes by Saturday afternoon, follows just days after Winnie Greco, a former aide to Adams, was accused of trying to hand a reporter from news outlet THE CITY a wad of cash hidden inside a bag of the exact same brand of potato chips.

“Hello, my friends. I have to come clean,” Mamdani says while munching on the bag of chips. “I have something to hide. Many things, in fact, because we’re doing a scavenger hunt.”

Mamdani’s scavenger hunt across New York City begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, and participants will solve a series of clues tied to the city’s history — each of which will lead them to the next location. The first clue will be shared in a video on Sunday morning, and the final stop will feature a surprise, Mamdani said.
“At the final stop, you’ll find a special surprise — not a wad of cash,” Mamdani said in the video, seemingly taking another jab at his rival.
