Discover Golden Gate Park as you've never seen it before!

The Secrets of Golden Gate Park Treasure Hunt offers a fun-filled afternoon of clue-solving that will show you the secret spots of this famed and historic urban oasis. You and your teammates will get a simultaneous intellectual and aerobic workout as you solve a series of mini-mysteries created by private eye Jayson Wechter of San Francisco Treasure Hunts, the brains behind the award-winning Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt. Each clue will lead you to a unique, secret location in Golden Gate Park: obscure monuments, secret gardens and vestiges of San Francisco's colorful (and mysterious) past.

Familiarity with Golden Gate Park is not required. The ability to think and explore creatively, and to collaborate as a team are more important. The treasure hunt is a team-building exercise that encourages collaborative problem-solving, effective group communication and team solidarity.

You can come with a team of four to nine players, or get matched up with others on the day of the hunt. It's a great way to get to know folks in a hurry as you share an intense and fun adventure.

There are four exciting hunts to choose from:

The Regular Treasure Hunt: For novice hunters traveling by foot.
The Bicycle Treasure Hunt: For hunters traveling on a self-propelled vehicle
The Master's Treasure Hunt: For veteran treasure hunters traveling on foot
The Children's Hunt: For kids under 10 and their families

BRING:
Comfortable footwear; layered clothes; snacks and drinks; a sense of curiosity and a spirit of adventure! Each player will receive a detailed map of Golden Gate Park. Some folks bring dictionaries, almanacs and other reference works to aid in solving clues.
