The fog rolls in off the bay like a slow-moving threat, and the city’s steep streets become a playground for a different kind of chase. Participants launch from wherever they choose, phone in hand, as the app hands out survival tasks and item lists. Teams thread through alleys, cross neighborhoods, and trade quick strategy over coffee—each completed task scoring points toward outlasting the virtual outbreak.
San Francisco’s street grid tells layers of history: Gold Rush boomtown blocks, Victorian row houses, and concrete piers built for a maritime economy. The city’s geology—steep hills formed by tectonic uplift and sculpted by past sea levels—creates dramatic sightlines and shortcuts that savvy teams will use. Culturally, the hunt intersects with neighborhoods famed for murals, tech campuses, and corner markets; it’s an urban scavenger hunt that doubles as a rapid walking tour of civic character.
Practical guidance centers on logistics and safety. The game is app-driven and self-guided with a remote host on chat, so a charged smartphone and a portable battery are essential. Plan a loop that minimizes repeated climbs: San Francisco’s hills reward route planning. Expect 45–90 minutes of walking depending on your pace and how many challenges you attempt. Public transit and short rideshare hops can reposition teams quickly; obey traffic signals and respect private property when searching for items. Teams should also be mindful during busy tourist hours around Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39.
This experience is social, low-impact, and flexible—ideal for groups that want a playful, city-wide mission without formal guides.
You choose your own start and end points anywhere in San Francisco; instructions and the starting link are sent before the game.
The standard game is one hour, but your pace and number of challenges attempted can make your outing shorter or longer.
Yes—infants and small children in strollers can join, but consider route difficulty and street traffic for safety.
A remote host monitors the game via chat and can provide guidance or troubleshoot app issues during your session.
