Pursuit: SF’s City-wide Scavenger Hunt (July 11 – Aug 10)

Saturday, July 11, 2026 - All Day | Cost: FREE
All throughout San Francisco | San Francisco, CA

Free / Learn More

A month of exploring the city and solving fun missions and puzzles, starting July 10.  Over 3,000 people have played and past missions included tuning finding to super-local radio stations planted in hidden spots, whispering a keyword in a bakery to receive a fortune cookie with a riddle inside, finding secret pianos in the woods, searching for a missing cassette in a record shop, and browsing bookstores to find a planted book to decode.

New missions will drop over the course of the month, you can do one or all, and join anytime.

It’s free to play, created by a group of 15 friends. Family-friendly and simple enough for anyone to do, but hard enough to be a journey. The goal is to get people out exploring the city with new eyes.

Text 415-888-9518 to join.
