How It Works

Our treasure hunts are custom made to fit every team’s size, schedule, and objective. Familiarity with San Francisco’s streets and history are not necessary. Instead, participants will be challenged to work as a team to solve puzzles, read maps, and plot a strategy, and on their knowledge of popular culture, current events, literature, and history to succeed.

1.

Inquire about a treasure hunt here. We’ll send you detailed information, answer any questions and gather information to customize and schedule your hunt.

2.

On the day of the treasure hunt, we explain the rules and give a customized briefing on teamwork and collaborative problem-solving. Then your team of treasure-hunting sleuths has a set time (tailored to your needs, but usually 2-4 hours) to solve as many puzzles as possible and meet at the final destination.

3.

With all team members at the final destination we reveal the solutions, award prizes and celebrate the winners!

San Francisco Treasure Hunts provides you with everything you need for the hunt:

  1. Neighborhood map and index of street names
  2. Detailed instructions for the treasure hunt
  3. A list of puzzling clues to solve


All your team has to bring is an inquisitive attitude and an open mind!
