A Walkable Downtown Martinez Event
Meeting Area: Susana Park Near Henrietta And Estudillo Streets
Susana Park gives the group a clear, recognizable start before the event moves into Main Street, historic downtown blocks, the waterfront, and nearby neighborhood details.
Each Mr Treasure Hunt event is created by Daniel Kleiber, a local Bay Area event designer who has been building custom scavenger hunt experiences for 24 years.
The Martinez event uses real street-level details, Contra Costa County history, famous-resident references, sister-city background, and waterfront clues instead of a generic city template.
From Susana Park, teams can move through nearby downtown blocks where they solve clues tied to visible architecture, early California history, civic landmarks, shops, and the restaurant district.
- Susana Park gives the group a clear meeting point near downtown paths, public space, and local services.
- Main Street and historic storefronts create useful observation points for clue solving.
- The waterfront and gateway-to-the-Delta setting add a scenic layer to the event.
- Local references can include John Muir, Joe DiMaggio, Martinez sister cities, and the martini history connected to the city.

Walking Time And Waterfront
