Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participating in this puzzle quest?

A: No specific age limit, but it’s designed for older kids and adults. The clues can be challenging, so I’d say it’s best for ages 12 and up. Younger kids might enjoy it if they're teamed up with an adult. Just remember, it does involve some walking, so keep that in mind!

Q: Can you start and stop the quest whenever? How does that work?

A: Absolutely! You can start at any hour and pause whenever you want. It’s super flexible. Just open the app on your phone, and if you need a break, you can pick it back up later. The clues are all right there when you're ready.

Q: What should we wear for this experience? Is it mostly indoors or outdoors?

A: It's mostly outdoors, so dress comfortably! I recommend wearing layers since the weather can change quickly in SF. Good walking shoes are a must because you’ll be exploring quite a bit. You might stop for food too, so casual but nice is perfect.

Just finished the Gold Rush Secrets quest — so fun!

I just did the San Francisco Gold Rush Secrets puzzle quest with my friends, and it was such a blast! We started at the Embarcadero and went through Chinatown and Union Square. The clues were clever and led us to some cool hidden spots. Took us about two hours with our breaks, but you can definitely take your time. Highly recommend for anyone who loves a bit of adventure and history!

Considering this quest for a gift — thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting the Gold Rush Secrets puzzle quest for my mom's birthday. She loves puzzles and exploring new places. Is it suitable for someone who isn't super active? Also, how long does it really take if you take breaks?
