Why a Asian Art Museum treasure hunt works
The largest museum in the western hemisphere dedicated to Asian art, housing more than 18,000 works that span 6,000 years and represent the cultures of more than 40 Asian nations. The Beaux-Arts building once held the original San Francisco Public Library. Indoor and outdoor checkpoints let teams move between the museum collection and the surrounding civic landmarks.
Teams chase clues that connect to real Asian Art Museum landmarks, including Civic Center plaza, the museum atrium, jade and ceramics galleries, contemporary Asian art wing. Local history, hidden details, and the rhythms of downtown San Francisco all become part of the experience, turning a familiar (or brand-new) neighborhood into a course full of small surprises.
How the Asian Art Museum scavenger hunt runs
Teams of three to six download a custom mobile application that guides them with location-based clues, historical photographs, multimedia narratives, and creative photo missions. The app keeps score automatically, so groups can compete and compare results across teams in real time. Teams move at their own pace through Asian Art Museum, snapping creative photos at checkpoints and unlocking the next clue when each task is complete.
Ideal for
Corporate team-building offsites in downtown San Francisco, sales kickoffs, new-hire onboarding, executive retreats, client appreciation events, birthday celebrations, bachelor and bachelorette parties, networking mixers, school field trips, family reunions, and any group that wants to swap a static restaurant dinner for two hours of friendly competition outdoors. Past clients range from small startups to Fortune 500 teams.
Customization options
Custom clues can be woven into the hunt at no extra cost, including company-specific history, inside jokes, product references, and themed prizes for the winning teams.
