“An annual tradition since 1988, this challenging city puzzle puts urban adventurers and trivia buffs to the test. Sixteen clues on San Francisco history and culture send treasure-hunting teams scrambling to obscure landmarks from Chinatown to Telegraph Hill, combing neighborhoods for vestiges of the city's rich past. The event's organizer, private investigator and amateur historian Jayson Wechter, makes sure the detective work is for a good cause; this year's proceeds go to the Circus Center and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.”
Annie Lo, Flavorpill
Familiarity with San Francisco geography or history is useful, but is not required. The clues, or puzzles, are designed to test various skills: map reading; knowledge of popular culture, current events, science or literature; crossword puzzle solving; cracking simples codes, etc.
