Häufig gestellte Fragen

We’re new to San Antonio—how can we dive into Pearl’s history without a typical tour?

Download Historic San Antonio: Pearl Mystery and follow interactive clues through old brewery buildings, cobblestone paths, and the River Walk. You’ll uncover stories of brewers, merchants, and hidden art while solving a modern whodunit.

We want a date idea with character—any suggestions?

Yes! Start near the historic brewery plaza at dusk, share headphones for the quest music, and solve puzzles together. End with a drink at a Pearl wine bar or dessert from the bakery for a memorable evening.

Could kids handle this, or is it more for grown-ups?

Kids love the detective angle. The riddles are fun, not frightening, and the Pearl has wide car-free areas, splash pads, and cafés for easy snack breaks. Great for a family outing.

We’re locals—will this still surprise us?

Absolutely. Even if you brunch here every weekend, the quest highlights hidden murals, quiet courtyards, and forgotten brewery tales you may never have noticed.

Our friends love puzzles—can we turn this into a competition?

Split into small teams and race to crack each clue. Add photo challenges—best historic selfie or fastest to find the secret courtyard—for extra bragging rights.
