Frequently Asked Questions

The experience includes access to the interactive mobile app for solving historical puzzles, a digital guidebook, and a downloadable map of the 1849 waterfront route.

Most participants finish the interactive game and walking tour in approximately two to two and a half hours, depending on walking pace and time spent solving clues.

Players navigate through the Financial District and Embarcadero to locate markers for buried Gold Rush ship hulls, the original 1849 shoreline, and historic assay offices.

The game begins at the Ferry Building, and while dedicated hotel transfers are not included, the start point is easily reached via BART, Muni, or rideshare drop-offs at the Embarcadero.

The puzzles and historical narratives are designed for ages 10 and older, as younger children may find the reading comprehension and two-mile walking distance challenging.

The designated path stays on paved, level sidewalks along the waterfront and avoids the steep hills of Nob Hill, making it fully accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.

Starting at 10:00 AM on a weekday provides the clearest views of the Embarcadero and avoids the heavy lunchtime pedestrian traffic in the Financial District.

You must bring a fully charged smartphone with cellular data enabled to access the app, along with comfortable walking shoes and a reusable water bottle.

The digital access code remains valid for one year from the date of purchase, allowing you to restart or pause the game at your convenience without penalty.

Public restrooms are accessible at the starting point inside the Ferry Building and at the midpoint near the Exploratorium at Pier 15.
