THE HUNT
The Oakland Treasure Hunt is an urban sleuthing adventure played on the streets of downtown and uptown Oakland. Teams have three hours to solve clues leading to unique locations including obscure landmarks, forgotten architectural delights, and vestiges of Oakland’s rich history. The Hunt is inspired by and co-created with Jayson Wechter/SF Treasure Hunts.
Players are organized into teams, typically of four to six people, though you can compete with a smaller team if you choose. You can participate with friends and coworkers, or volunteers will pair you with an existing team or other individuals at the event. It’s a great way to meet and share a fun experience with new people.
The Hunt is a walking event – no bicycle teams allowed – so wear comfortable shoes. The event is on, rain or shine.
Teams are organized into four divisions:
Expert Division: For returning winners and Chinese New Year hunt veterans
Novice Division: For newcomers and returning hunt lovers who don’t feel like experts…yet
Student Division: For students ages 14-20
Family Division: For parents and their (under 18) children
Delicious prizes are awarded to top teams in each division.
EXTRA FUN!
