San Francisco Gold Rush Secrets: Self-Guided Puzzle Quest

The puzzles were straightforward, mostly consisting of walking to a clued location and collecting information from a historical marker. One location had shut down, so I had to solve its puzzle (the one involving wheels) by doing an image search for the thing that used to be there. But otherwise it went smoothly. The quest covered a good variety of San Francisco spots and some of the city’s history from the wild days of the late 19th century. Overall, it was a fun way to spend an hour or two. Bring sunblock and a hat.

-More precise starting location -Wells Fargo - Carriage not found.- - Tasks should be more difficult

It was fun and we learned some new things about SF> There is construction on Union Square so it was hard to get close to the monument. Also, I think you should include some of the Barbary coast neighborhood near Jackson and Columbus.

Pros: Enjoyed the experience. Would do it again. Learned some interesting things about SF. Challenged the family patients a bit. Would not take kids under the age of 10. Too much walking for them and not enough action. However my kids were 16 to 12 and enjoyed it for the most part. Be prepared to walk a bunch as landmarks were spread out quite a bit. We enjoyed this but don’t think someone that had mobility issues could have participated. Overall everyone enjoyed. Cons. The sign-up process to get it in our phone was completely confusing and difficult and not user-friendly. Purchased three so we could have numerous phones with the Hunt on it and could only download one. The actual hunt Instructions were a bit vague using right and left instead of north south east west. Landmarks were a bit obscure and could have chosen numerous ones that we walked past. Wished it would have looped and started and ended in the same area.
