Had such an amazing time doing the treasure hunt as part of a retreat with my colleagues!! Dan was so easy to contact and flexible and helped me prepare an entire afternoon with less than a week to spare. We were also a little bit disorganized and the self facilitated option was perfect for us. The app was also such a fun added touch for solving the riddles. Not corny, not too easy, just a fun day of working together and exploring!! read more

What a concept!!!!!!! Wanted to do something interesting for my husband's birthday & voilà found this online!! I called them up & the very next moment Dan emailed me on how this thing works. Dan was very prompt in responding to my queries & in no time he came up with scavenger hunt in Redwood city. There are tons of locations to chose for you & Dan designs hunt in that location. Clues are combination of AR + paper based. Very technologically impressive! We all loved the hunt & i would do it again & recommend to everyone. + points: 1. Generally this is designed for corporate events but Dan designed for a small group like mine & i would say it was reasonable for such an out of the box idea. Dan read more

Update to my original review from years ago! Still amazing! Utilized Dan's company for a scavenger hunt years ago and when looking for a similar activity- this was a no brainer! Booking process was almost too easy! Dan is organized and prompt to reply. The hunt was curated so well our team was challenged but also had a great time. read more

Was looking for a team activity to wrap up the year and wanted to find someone local and really happy to have found Mr. Treasure Hunt. Dan was great, met us bright and early in Berkeley and sent my team and I off on our way - checking in periodically as we went. Event was a lot of fun. Communication and organization was effortless. Highly recommended! read more

Dan is awesome and our group of 30+ had an awesome time on the scavenger hunt around Alameda! It's impressive that he does these in over 25 cities! Hot tip: We solved all of the puzzles first and mapped out where to go and we beat the other 4 groups! read more

Dan was wonderful to work with from beginning to end! Our group had so much fun team building and also enjoying the art at the Cantor Art Museum. The level of difficulty perfectly fit the time we had, and it was a great way for us to do something fun while getting to know each other (and impressing each other with our various skills and knowledge!). Dan was prompt, well prepared, and a great leader! read more

Excellent event. Dan does a fantastic job blending fun, challenging puzzles with creative activities for the participants. It's a great team building event along with a really good way to explore a SF neighborhood (we did the Finance District challenge). I highly recommend Mr Treasure Hunt. You won't be disappointed. read more

We hired Mr Treasure Hunt for a corporate activity in Fisherman's Wharf. We were impressed by how organized it was, and how challenging the scavenger hunt was. Whether you are a local, or visitor, it was a challenge, and very fun. We had several days of activities and this was by far everyone's favorite. I also learned that there are several challenges for many neighborhoods in SF. We look forward to working with this business again. read more

Dan is a nice person to work with. The event was challenging and fun. Our team really enjoyed the game. read more

Fantastic day following clues thru North Beach and Chinatown. Instructions were great, problems not too tough, and the AR component was a nice touch. We walked down many hidden alleys and nooks, enjoying some beautiful murals and mosaics that I had never before made time to enjoy. Fun day and money well spent! Thank you Mr Treasure Hunt! read more

Long overdue review for July 2021. We're a very early stage startup and wanted to do a fun outdoor activity while getting to know each other. Dan was super responsive by email, and explained all the packages available. Right now they also give you a contact less DIY option at reduced cost, which was perfect for us! They send you (or someone of your choice) the clue packet, map area and solutions and you can have someone print and put them in envelopes for you. This was great since we could also be flexible on date and time. They have a bunch of really interesting locations across the bay. I opted for downtown San Mateo, which was close to us and none of us knew anything about it. We split into 3 teams of 4 each. Solving the clues and running around the city was a lot of fun! They also include bonus photo ops which were great! The time limit and difficulty was just perfect for us and everyone had a good time. I totally recommend mr treasure hunt for small groups and would love to try out their museum challenges next time read more

I had two weeks to plan a fun event in San Francisco for 25 co-workers. I reached out to Mr Treasure Hunt, and Dan sent me a very thorough and helpful response in just a few hours. Dan's prices and attentiveness can't be beat! For our treasure hunt, I chose Golden Gate Park. I was having a lot of trouble trying to find a good place for lunch that was within walking distance and would accommodate 25 people. Dan was awesome and recommended the de Young Cafe, which is right in Golden Gate Park. Saved me a huge headache! The day of our event, Dan showed up to the park early to make sure all the stops along our treasure hunt were accessible. One of the stops was fenced off, so he crossed that clue off our treasure hunts. He was able to do all of this and still meet me at the meeting spot about 30 minutes before any of my co-workers showed up. I really appreciate his punctuality and thoroughness. Just super professional and dedicated! The puzzles were my favorite part. They were interesting, challenging, and really required us to work together. Everyone had a lot of fun figuring out the puzzles, taking silly pictures, and exploring around the beautiful park. My co-workers couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had. Why are you still reading this review! Plan your next event with Mr Treasure Hunt! You won't regret it! read more

We had a great time working with Mr. Treasure Hunt for our hosted scavenger hunt in the Haight-Ashbury. He was available and accommodating for an event booked on short notice, worked with us to end the event at our happy hour location, and the scavenger hunt itself was fun and interesting. We were looking for an active, outdoor teambuilding activity for our work team and this fit the bill perfectly. Thanks again! read more

My company had the best time with Dan at Mr. Treasure Hunt! We opted for a 2 hour hunt in Golden Gate Park, which was an awesome location as I didn't know how many cool structures are hidden around the park permanently and how pretty the grounds were. The puzzles were the "right amount" of challenging to figure out - very fun and a good team bonding experience. There was a fair amount of walking involved, BUT teams could split up (most split into groups of 2 to cover more ground), and if you have someone who doesn't like walking they can hang out and end up not doing much walking around at all, if that's their preference. We were happy this was the case as we had 2 in the group who were less excited about the active component of the hunt. Overall, such a good combination of using your brain, getting some light exercise, being outdoors and bonding with colleagues. We loved the picture challenges, too. Would highly recommend to anyone who has a group that is looking to do something fun and different for a corporate outing! We were so glad to mix things up with this and not just go to a bar like usual. Thank you Dan! read more

Had a lot of fun, just given the time constraints of my company, it would have been more fun if we had more time to answer the questions and find the answers. Loved the questions we had to do with the picture challenges. Overall fun time, but given the time and heat of the day, it was quite challenging. read more

Mr. Treasure Hunt (a.k.a. Dan) designed and executed a treasure hunt for my team of about 40 colleagues in downtown Alameda this past week.I've done a variety of treasure hunts in the past, some much more successful than others. This rated as one of the best! Dan knows what he's doing. The clues were neither too easy nor too difficult and the geography covered was not too far or too close. He integrated technology really well with geosyncing. Everybody had a good time. Apparently he has like 30 different locations scoped out for different "hunts". He also kept a close watch on the groups and their progress. All in all, very successful. I would definitely recommend his service. read more

Dan customized a hunt in downtown Alameda for my team of 40. As an executive assistant, it was a joy to work with him. He was professional from the start, even accomodating 2 schedule changes with ease. All had a very good time! It brought out just the right amount of competitiveness, unity, team building, and fun for everyone. I would definitely recommend Mr. Treasure Hunt and will turn to him for my future needs. read more

Dan did a great job of dealing with 14 type A personalities and setup a fun outdoor treasure hunt event in Golden Gate park! Highly recommend! read more

Dan was so great to work with, super responsive and made it a breeze to set up! As I organize many events, I know the usual details that take time to get together. With Dan, I barely had to set up anything except our Happy Hour spot to finish at :-) The team had such a great time running around the city working together to solve the questions and puzzles. The hunt was definitely challenging, but was great at making us work as a team to complete. Everyone had a lot of fun and got to learn more about our neighborhood. I highly recommend using Mr Treasure Hunt for your next team outing! read more

We organized a team building event for our R&D department with Mr. Treasure Hunt. We selected The Exploratorium as our location and everyone had an amazing time. The event was well organized and most of the people had never been to The Exploratorium so that was an added bonus. The clues were challenging enough that they weren't easy but they were solvable in the allotted time. I'd definitely work with Dan again. read more

We contacted Dan for a last-minute manager outing for 8 of us. Dan was quick to respond, got us setup and was there to make sure we had a great time! Our guys had a wonderful time as the event was well-planned, educational, challenging and an all-rounded great team event. I highly recommend Dan as we are definitely going to call upon him again for another go around (so the losing team has another chance to try and win). Thanks Dan!! read more

So MUCH fun! I chose Mr Treasure Hunt for a company outing of about 20 people. Dan was so easy to work with (not to mention very friendly and polite) through the entire process - from planning to the day of the event! We were broken into 3 teams, and given brief instructions. What followed was a fast-paced, challenging treasure hunt through Union Square. Though my team didn't win, it was still a great team-building activity and loads of fun. Dan also offers treasure hunts in many SF other neighborhoods. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for an out-of-the-ordinary group activity. read more

Working with Dan at Mr. Treasure Hunt was wonderful. I booked a group of 26 for a team building event at the Exploritorium in San Francisco. Dan explained to the group what the rules to the scavenger hunt was and we were on our way! What fun we all had running around trying to find the answers to the clues! Very creative and not easy at all! I would recommend Mr. Treasure Hunt to anyone looking to have a teambuilding event with your colleagues. Thanks Dan! read more

Dan was GREAT to work with. He was very easy to communicate with via email and phone. He put together a thorough treasure hunt for my department's team building activity. It was very challenging, and it definitely required team work! I highly recommend Mr. Treasure Hunt for your San Francisco treasure hunt needs! read more

My company used Mr Treasure Hunt for a social event that was part of our annual summer leadership program for college students. There were about 20 of us, half college students (accounting majors) and half professional staff (accountants and consultants). Our hunt was in Downtown San Jose. We all had a great time, and we had great feedback from the students and staff as well! The hunt was the right amount of challenging and absolutely incorporated team-building as we worked together to figure out the answers to the clues and then run around Downtown San Jose to find them! This particular hunt covered a wide area, so we all felt like we got some good exercise :) It was also the right amount of competitive as we went up against the other teams to see who would win. I would absolutely recommend using Mr Treasure Hunt. I was coordinating with Dan from Seattle, and he was very organized and professional. If we are looking to do a similar event in the Bay Area in the future, I know who to go to! Thanks Dan! read more

Our Company Treasure Hunt was so much fun! We were looking for a company team-building activity to do when our sales team (spread out across the U.S.) came to visit our SF HQ. We didn't have a large budget, and Mr. Treasure Hunt fit the price for an activity that would split our 21 person team into smaller groups. We opted for the Golden Gate Park Treasure Hunt - and lucked out to have a beautiful sunny day. Dan was waiting for us and was a great mix of fun and professionalism as he handed out the maps, clues and gave the game instructions. The game was well thought out - each clue was the "right amount" of challenging (actually pretty hard for a group of 20 educated adults) and varied enough that it was necessary to collaborate with team members. Some clues would be puzzles, some would be trivia - all led to a spot on the map where you had to find something. We met at the end and Dan gave out prizes to the winning team. It was a great experience that forced us all to work together, get out of the office, and use our critical thinking skills. We would definitely use Mr. Treasure Hunt again! read more

Our group is (for lack of a better word) special. We are in the service industry and after a mind melting peak season we had a brief window to get together, say we appreciate you, and enjoy one another's company on a day that did not involve food and deadlines. We spent a lot of time trying to find something that would work for all of us (interests, cardio, cartography, competition) you know the usual stuff but nothing brought it all together. Except Mr. Treasure Hunt. Imagine the amazing race (minus the cameras unless you too have some gopro addicts), and some ingenious puzzles in an area that is as scenic as Fisherman's Wharf. There were other locales but this fit our bill. It was great fun blending our teams, and creating a fun and vibrant interaction. No bloodshed, just good times. I highly recommend it! We'll be doing it again. Life is short...enjoy where you work, and the people you work with (I know I ended the sentence with a preposition, but you get the point). read more

I planned a team outing for about 25 employees. Mr. Treasure Hunt (Dan) was extremely helpful and responsive during the planning process. The treasure hunt itself was well-planned, challenging, and most importantly, fun for everyone involved. I received lots of positive feedback about the event afterward. Highest possible recommendation! read more

We did a company outing and, on a recommendation from another team at our company, I reached out to Mr Treasure Hunt. Dan was so easy to work with! Very clear communication about set up and process. He suggested a hunt around Union Square because it was festive with the holidays, and it was definitely the way to go. Our teams were super competitive, and the hunt was just hard enough to keep us feeling pressured for time and running around! I would highly recommend this for a company party, birthday party, or just hunt enthusiasts. read more

We had an offsite team building in Redwood City for a group of ten. Our whole team absolutely loved the treasure hunt. It was exciting and well planned that none of us knew what to expect. It was very easy to set up and process getting in touch with Mr. Treasure Hunt We received nothing but a GREAT compliment from our group. We appreciate Dan for tailoring and putting his hard work in making a successful team building in such short notices. It was a pleasure to work with Dan. Thank you, Dan and your team for being outstanding at what you do! Cheers. read more

Our office held our holiday celebration this last Saturday in Palo Alto, scouring the downtown for clues given in Mr. Treasure Hunt's game. We had a blast and look forward to doing this again at one of the other 40 locations. The clues are challenging but satisfying when solved. This game is definitely a great way for your office to spend time together. read more

Our company had a fantastic time on our treasure hunt in the North Beach/Chinatown district in SF! We broke up into 11 teams and off we went. The hunt was interesting, challenging and fun! It was perfect since our group is competitive and love to have a great time. Dan was well organized, on time and created a super fun and memorable team-building event for us. We highly recommend his treasure hunt! read more

Budget friendly and the best offsite fun event ever! Can't beat this fun adventure-some opportunity. The allotted time for participating in the treasure hunt was perfect as well. Our team was 25 folks and we broke up into 4 teams. Boy, were they engaged 100% and energized all the way through! Can't thank Dan enough for putting together such great puzzles and clues! They were challenging and fun! I'm bringing another one of our teams back to this for sure! read more

Dan was AMAZING!!! I wanted to put together a fun event for a group of 12 people that got us outside a bit since we're a technology company and sit in an office all day. We ended up splitting into 3 teams of 4 and that was perfect. The clues themselves were not easy at all, they really forced you to think creatively. What I especially liked was that these are the types of clues that you can't answer by dropping something in Google. Another great and fair point of the hunt is that having local knowledge really doesn't help you or give you an edge. I hands down recommend Dan to put together a hunt for any size group. read more

Dan was great to work with and made this team building event for our departments fun, engaging and easy to manage. Dan's clues truly challenged our very intelligent group and the teams that worked together really reaped the benefits. This was an opportunity to bring two different departments, that rely on each other professionally, together for a fun and active exercise. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. If you are the coordinator you will want to know that Dan was always responsive; arrived early, was on-site for the entire event and did a great job quickly tallying up the winners. I recommend this highly for a workplace team building event. read more

We had an office event this past weekend with Mr. Treasure Hunt, and had a ball! It was challenging, fun, and something we have never done. I would highly recommend this for any type of group gathering, whether it be a group of friends, or co-workers. A great time was had by all! read more

We recently booked a scavenger hunt with Dan (Mr. Treasure Hunt himself) for our company holiday party. I had done a lot of research on options before booking, and between the reviews and pricing, this was clearly the top option. It was easy to work with Dan over email, but he also brought great energy to kick off the hunt at our office. All of the supplies (clues, map, etc) are provided at the start of the event and there's a great debrief/prizes when the teams finish. My coworkers couldn't stop talking about how fun it was and I can't stop thinking about how easy everything came together. Thanks again, Mr. Treasure Hunt! read more

Working with Mr Treasure Hunt was easy, fun, and an absolute pleasure. We contacted him on a Friday afternoon, heard back on Saturday, and had everything organized and planned for our company offsite in Potrero Hill on Tuesday. Communicating with him was a breeze-- he answered all of our questions and exchanged forms promptly. We got rave reviews about how creative, engaging and fun the actual hunt was-- you could tell he'd put a lot of time and preparation into his materials to make sure they were top notch. The clues really encouraged group thinking and participation which was exactly what we were looking for. The photos the teams collecting during the hunt were also great momentos. We couldn't recommend Mr Treasure Hunt more highly and look forward to working with him again! read more

I hired Mr Treasure Hunt for a game that took place for ~70 people in the SOMA district of SF. Dan was incredibly helpful through emails and phone calls the weeks before the event and had some fabulous clues that the participants really enjoyed! Great guy to work with and I'd highly recommend him! read more

Our Firm has used Mr. Treasure Hunt four times within the past few years in San Francisco and Palo Alto. Often times, when employees see a team-building activity on the agenda they are not very excited but Dan has proved them all wrong each time we have used him. Our last group of 120 people had a custom "treasure hunt" in downtown Palo Alto and everyone enjoyed it. Dan does an incredible job from start to finish and communicates everything clearly. His treasure hunts are challenging, creative and most importantly FUN! I would definitely recommend him to others and we will definitely be using him again in the future! Thanks Dan!! read more
