What you'll do
Learn about the beautiful art around San Francisco’s notorious North Beach region. Find a hidden envelope under a park bench, and scan a lost kitten poster to unlock a surprise. Track down a beloved fudge shop, investigate a secret public plaza for a hidden challenge, and find a secret agent sitting in a neighborhood cafe to whisper a codeword to them for a bonus clue. Discover a new side of the Mission and your teammates in this fun, quick-paced interactive game.
Run of show:
-Our expert hosts gathers the group together to warm up with an icebreaker and explain game rules
-We divide the group into teams of 6-12 players to compete against each other
-Each team gets a scavenger hunt packet with puzzles, clues, a playbox map, props, and more
-Teams huddle up to strategically plan their courses
-Teams race around taking creative team photos and checking off as many clues as possible before time runs out
-At the end of the game, we gather back together to announce the winning team(s) and outstanding submissions.
Scavenger hunts are a great team building and team bonding activity. Our games are designed by an MIT- and Stanford-educated neurobiologist with extensive experience in corporate team building. The challenges test the group’s communication, collaboration and consensus-building skills, and are always a fun adventure. Teams strategically plan their route, solve problems and puzzles, and submit innovative challenge photos and videos.
We’ve hosted over a thousand team-building events for hundreds of companies including Google, Capital One, Columbia University, Atlassian, and this scavenger hunt has been covered in CNN, ABC, and the SF Chronicle.

Christine
As first timers we weren't sure what to expect and Shuai patiently helped us answer any question we had and provided clear instructions for the event. The scavenger hunt took us to historical, cultural and culinary parts of SF. It was great meeting new people and bonding with fellow team members. Some teams brought their children and pets to scavenge too! We would definitely do this again!
Leah
Each part of the scavenger hunt involved multiple steps: everything from riddles and puzzles and codes to decode to action items to participate in and everything kept you thinking on your toes. It was the perfect level of challenge where some teams could do less of the activities and still have fun while other very competitive teams could really push themselves but still have a challenge to complete it. And everything was so organized and seemed to go off without a hitch!
Remy
A very nice mix of puzzles, decryption, course planning, and quite a few 'creative' challenges to be posted on social media. A number of the clues led to historic San Francisco sites, which is a great way to learn about some of the history of the city (after you figure out where they are!)
