Event Details

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Barbary Coast was San Francisco at its most lawless: saloons, gambling dens, and a thriving trade in kidnapping, where men were sold into forced labor at sea.

In 1879, a 19-year-old vanished from these streets. Now he needs your help to piece together what happened to him. Hop back in time to visit the city’s oldest saloons, interrogate witnesses, and deliver your verdict.

Recommended for ages 21+.
