The Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt is San Francisco's longest-running urban adventure game -- a scavenger hunt for information in which teams solve clues leading to off-the-beaten-track locations connected with local history, art, and culture. It's played on the colorful streets of Chinatown, North Beach, Telegraph Hill and the Financial District, set against the backdrop of the annual Chinese New Year Parade.
Each clue (or puzzle) leads to a location where players must find and use a piece of information to answer a question. The information could be wording on an historical plaque, a detail in a mural or public artwork, a unique architectural feature or a distinctive business sign, something you might never notice if you weren't looking for it. The treasure hunt is a great exercise in visual awareness that hones your observation skills and makes you more aware of your environment. Participants often discover memorable sights they'd passed by hundreds of times and overlooked, and learn about San Francisco's rich history and culture.
Tickets are $55 through January 27 and $60 from January 28 to February 8. Partial proceeds benefit the San Francisco Circus Center
The treasure takes place on Saturday, February 8, 3:00 p.m. (doors open at 2:00) to 7:30 p.m. and begins and ends at 555 Chestnut Street (Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center gymnasium) between Powell & Mason Streets.
