Turn your party into an intriguing adventure

Become a clue-solving sleuth for a day in an engaging and fun treasure hunt!

Players are organized into teams of 4-6 members and compete to solve an array of intellectual clues that lead them through colorful parts of the city to the finish line. Our treasure hunt clues will direct them toward spectacular views, uncommon locales, hidden artwork, and evocative remnants of San Francisco’s rich history.

Past treasure hunts have led participants to see:

  • The art deco apartment building where Humphrey Bogart hid out in the 1947 film “Dark Passage”
  • The whisky warehouse whose owner saved it from destruction following the 1906 earthquake by bribing the firemen with some of his wares
  • The alley where Sam Spade’s partner was gunned down in the 1941 film noir “The Maltese Falcon”
  • The plaque commemorating the site where Barbary Coast “hoodlums” were hanged by vigilantes

What Clients Have to Say

I highly recommend San Francisco Treasure Hunts to any manager looking to bring their team together over an afternoon of puzzles & fun.
Our team loved the hunt. I loved how (Jayson) Wechter mixes in history. He’s a really fascinating guy. Sort of part historian part tour guide, part facilitator.
It worked just as well for the participants from across the country as it did for the natives. A great team-building event!
Our customized Angel Island hunt was intellectually & physically stimulating. We enjoyed rising to the challenges and would do it again. We all had a great time.
The event was a big hit and everyone enjoyed the hunt. The experience was all that we expected. We had a great time seeing parts of the city we would never have seen without the hunt.

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 research trivia on popular culture, current events, literature, and history to succeed.
