FAQs
How do I make a team?
If you're grabbing tickets for the team, you'll receive redemption codes to pass out to your friends for them to redeem their tickets online (and be automatically linked to your team).
Boom. Or maybe you're more of a 'voilá' type of person?
How is this SF Hunt different from prior years’?
Each neighborhood will have a set of riddles you are aiming to solve as *quickly* as possible. Every riddle gets you points, and you're awarded bonus points for how quickly you solve *all* of the riddles in a given neighborhood.
Additionally within each neighborhood, there is an in-person, hosted activity. Head there to complete a challenge, upload a photo or video, and collect your commemorative pin.
You & your team will vote on all of the uploaded photos & videos at the end of the day! The best videos get the most points, and the worst ones get the fewest points.
The winning team will be skewed towards the best riddle-solvers, but don’t sleep on the content challenges. They can be the difference between 10th place and 1st place!
Any pro tips for gameplay?
For the 10 year anniversary, we’re mixing some things up. Within each of the 4 neighborhoods, there will be a set of riddles and an in-person activity. Both get you points, but in different ways.
The team that solves all of the neighborhood riddles the fastest will win that neighborhood (and receive the most points)!
At each of the hosted activities, you’ll submit a photo or a video. At the end of the game, everybody will vote on the best media and more points will be awarded.
So the winning teams will need to deftly, quickly, and intelligently solve riddles while really stepping up their content game.
How puzzle-y is this?
How physically demanding is this?
What should I bring?
Also, you’ll want to pack some snacks (don’t be that hangry teammate), water, comfortable walking shoes, your ID, and the all important phone charger. We’ll take all your battery if you let us! If you want to go the extra mile, a physical map can make a big difference too.
Can I show up late / leave early?

What’s the rain plan?
I've been asking about a rain plan for 7 years. They don’t exist. The first time I asked Sam, he shot back a look as if I had insulted his mother. (His mother is lovely btw. Her name is Bunny and she has a great recipe for aioli.)
Sam belongs to a school of thought where the rain is merely a trifling inconvenience. If you told him there's an atmospheric river coming, he'd say, "River Shm-iver. How can there be a river in the sky if there's no fish in it? Riddle me that!"
In every event for the last 4 years, Sam and Co have roped me in to help plan Ops, and it became the running joke. Invariably at some point in the planning process, I’d ask the ill-fated question, “so what’s the rain plan?” Without fail, they’d reply “it’s not going to rain.” And it never did... Even if the forecast had 100% chance, somehow in the end the clouds would part, the sun would shine, and it never would rain.
I can only surmise that this luck was bought. A deal made with gods. By now Sam’s sold off decades of his life and numerous future first borns. Maybe at this point he’s even pawned off yours and mine.
“But the forecast says it’s going to rain!”
So what’s the plan?
Sam in a sense is right. The rain IS a mere inconvenience. If anything it’s a call to action, a reminder that you are young and alive. Don your best rain coat, coziest leggings, and finest wool socks and head out into the night. At the end of it all, wearing the warm dry clothes you also so smartly packed, you will be warmed by beer and smiles of friendly strangers. All before you go back to a hot shower, a warm bed, and a feeling that life is sweet.
However while I am a convert to Sam’s way of thinking, I’m not a true believer. More like an occasional practitioner. So, don’t worry I’ve come prepared. Where in Sam’s mind rain plans are for suckers, in my mind, they are ways of making sure the fun stays alive. While we can’t change the location of the clues or promise any certain way of staying dry, what I can give you is my best suggestions.
The SF Hunt Rain Plan Specials:
- Sit inside to solve, throw on your best waterproof gear, then solve everything outdoors!
- Plan your costumes with rain in mind. Dress like a fish and navigate the city like the water-loving mammal-fish-hybrid you are.
- SF rain is so intermittent – time your outdoor escapades with the lulls in rainfall.
In this case, Sam and co would be releasing the final location sooner to account for rain. You’ll know where to go to warm up and enjoy a libation.
