13 Reasons Why You Should Do The SF Hunt

The SF Hunt is unlike anything you have ever experienced. You will push your limits, play outside, and have a day you won’t stop talking about. Still not sure? Check out our reasons why this is one scavenger hunt you don’t want to miss.

13. Get to know your city

Look at that map! We’ll take you all over your city and plot the riddles you’ve solved in our killer app. Discover the best grilled cheese sandwich and stumble upon hidden gems. You won’t believe the things that are hiding in your city. The Hunt will take you from iconic spots to your new favorite lunch hideout. Don’t forget to take a selfie with that dope street art and grab an extra cookie for a friend.

12. Choose your own adventure

In it to win it or just chillin’ — you get to choose (with a little helpful guidance and encouragement). The Hunt is what you make it. You can be competitive, riddle-lovers, goofballs, wicked fast, average Joes, or some combo of them all. Vow to secure the top spot, take the funniest photos you ever have with your friends, or spend your time looking for ways to win swag or free ice cream (legen-dairy?). It doesn’t matter how hardcore you want to be, it’s all part of the fun.

11. Make new friends

You’ll meet rad people who love the same things you do: beer, onesies, and adventure. What more could you ask for? If you are really nice they might even share their snacks and a couple of hints.

10. And bond with the ones you already have

You’ll leave saying “remember that time when…” and have endless inside jokes. Your other friends will be insanely jealous. Doing The Hunt together will bond you for life. We promise.

9. Wear a killer costume

Costumes strongly encouraged. For obvious reasons.

Any day you can wear a costume is a great day. Capes, masks, lightsabers, tutus — bring it! Get clever and definitely don’t forget that onesie you won’t admit you have.

8. Laugh so hard you cry

If peeing your pants is cool…

We won’t call it delirium, but there is something about solving riddles for hours that leads to the best laughs. You’ll find yourselves in crazy situations and exhausted giggle-fests. You should probably start doing crunches now to prepare for the epic belly laughs.

7. Solve clever riddles

Sure you can run a 5k, but what about your brain? We like to break a mental sweat too…Test your smarts and train your brain with The Hunt. The riddles range from easy to ridiculously hard so you can challenge yourself no matter if you’re a Crossword National Champion (like our riddle master).

6. High five strangers

High fives are best shared.

It’s like running a marathon without the bathroom lines or the chafing — everyone wants a high five. This day isn’t just about you having fun. It’s about everyone you come in contact with having fun too. Don’t be selfish, spread the love!

5. No walk in the park

Get up there!

Okay, so you might do that too, but during The Hunt you will destroy your steps and heat up Strava. City Master Achievement? Unlocked.

4. Drink beer

You + Us = Good Times

Did we mention it’s free? While you don’t have to wait for the after party for a cold one, the epic food, prizes, and beer bear hugs are worth holding out for. We’ve also got meetup spots during the day for when you’re feeling tired, need a cold snack, and want to connect with other Hunters.

3. Swag.Ger

Sexy shirts from The North Face in SF

Sure, you get a t-shirt, a pint glass, and swag from our kick-ass sponsors, but the real prize is eternal glory. Whether you solve the most riddles or had the most laughs, you’ll leave with a spring in your step and some serious swagger. You ran the city and lived to tell about it. Don’t even try to hide it. But also, don’t forget to wear that fresh shirt we gave you…

Socks?!

2. Forget FOMO.

You will never forgive yourself if you miss this. This is FOMO times one million. We don’t want you to have to live with that. It’s an epidemic and we’d hate for you to be afflicted.

1. Have the best day ever

Best. Day. Ever.

HOLY SHIT, THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF ALL TIME. Seriously. Add it to the list of unforgettable days. The SF Hunt has the makings of a truly amazing day. Don’t believe us? Maybe just scroll to the top and start again?
