Ahoy Mateys! Pirates, seafaring folk and even landlubbers are all invited to play in our Pirate’s Treasure Hunt, benefiting 826 Valencia.
Legend has it that there’s a cursed treasure hidden somewhere in San Francisco’s Mission District. Your teams must solve clues, travel to hidden spots, participate in challenges, and find unique people, places and murals to find the treasure and dispel the curse.
Our unique puzzle-solving urban adventure will have teams of 2-6 players racing throughout the Mission District to find the items/people/places in the Pirate’s Treasure Hunt List and win his Treasure Chest of prizes!
Proceeds from this event will be donated to 826 Valencia to fund their writing programs for children.
Players can come with a team already organized or can sign up individually and be paired to a team at the event. Be sure to bring some water, a pencil and a fully charged camera/phone and be ready travel all around the Mission District searching for clues and challenge pit-stops!
Check in will start at 1:30pm at 3564 19th Street. Look for the girl with the trophy and top hat. The official rules will be provided and the scavenger hunt start will start promptly 2pm. The team with the most points wins the Treasure Chest of prizes and the clue to how to dispel the Pirate’s Curse.
