The Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt

The annual Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt, organized by San Francisco private investigator Jayson Wechter, takes place on Saturday, February 11th. This legendary event is a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1977 and challenges both the amateur and master sleuth. Part of the proceeds from the registration fees will be donated to the Circus Center and the San Francisco Food Bank. Check out their website for more info.

The Chinese New Year Treasure Hunt is a unique urban sleuthing adventure played on the streets of Chinatown, North Beach, and Telegraph Hill on the night of the annual Chinese New Year Parade. Treasure hunting teams have four hours to solve sixteen clues leading them to obscure landmarks, forgotten architectural delights and vestiges of San Francisco’s colorful past. Players can come with a team already organized, or can join like-minded hunters at the event; it’s a great way to make new friends.
