General

We specialize in bespoke experiential events, city scavenger hunts, hybrid and remote competitions, in-office escape rooms, and large-scale public events.

Team offsites, holiday parties, onboarding events, return-to-office activations, all-hands celebrations, client entertainment, and leadership retreats. If you’re bringing a group together and want something more memorable than a happy hour, we’re your people.

Public Events

The SF Hunt is San Francisco’s most epic all-day scavenger hunt, open to the public. Teams explore the city, solving riddles, uncovering hidden gems, and competing for the top spot on the leaderboard. We’ve been running it since 2014.

The SF Hunt is a public event, so anyone can buy a ticket and form a team. Corporate scavenger hunts are private, customized events booked exclusively for your company. Same high-quality experience, different format and audience. See more about SF corporate hunts.

Yes, we occasionally host public escape room pop-ups in San Francisco. The best way to hear about them first is to join our email list or follow us on social media. Sign up for emails (bottom of page). Follow us on Instagram.

The SF Hunt usually runs every other year. Join the waitlist.

Teams of coworkers are highly encouraged, and it\u2019s a great low-lift option if you want a Handstand experience without booking a private event. For larger groups or a fully private experience, get a quote for a dedicated corporate hunt.
