HOW IT WORKS
Getting started is simple. Teams split into smaller groups and use our GPS-enabled app to navigate through San Francisco while tackling a mix of location-based missions, trivia, photo challenges, and interactive tasks.
Unlike traditional treasure hunts that follow a fixed route, our experiences give teams the freedom to decide where to go next, unlocking challenges and scoring points along the way. Live leaderboards add an extra layer of excitement as teams battle it out across the city in real-time.
Whether your group prefers mystery-solving, competitive gameplay, or light-hearted fun, there’s an experience to match. Go undercover with GPS Spy School, embrace eerie puzzle-solving in Escape the Dark Curse, lean into survival skills with Destination Space, or take on creative city missions with The Ultimate GPS Challenge.
