Frequently Asked Questions

What does Mr. Treasure Hunt do?

Mr. Treasure Hunt designs and organizes sets of clues within a geographical area, typically within San Francisco or the Bay Area, for teams of amateur sleuths to work together to solve. Treasure hunts bring people and their diverse backgrounds together in a fun and friendly team-building environment. Clues may involve landmarks, restaurants, retail stores, parks, art galleries, and much more. All you need is an adventurous spirit and a desire to have some fun! You'll get some exercise too while you learn about the neighborhood!

Is a treasure hunt the same as a scavenger hunt?

Not really. We won't make you take any photos of cops eating donuts or make you sing in public or anything like that! A treasure hunt is a well-organized, clue-oriented game designed to create a team-building environment. You just need to bring yourself and your sense of adventure! But you can bring a donut for any cops you see if you like.

Mr Treasure Hunt also will occasionally add a scavenger hunt feature to your event too, just to keep you on your toes! Either way you will experience great team building results!

Do you have any indoor treasure hunts?

YES, we have indoor hunts at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco and the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation!

So, you can enjoy a treasure hunt even in a rainstorm!
