Preguntas frecuentes

Does the walk visit the Palo Alto garage where Hewlett Packard started?
Yes. Hewlett Packard's founding garage, marked by a plaque, is the sixth stop on the route. You reach it after the first Facebook office and the plaque for the invention of the radio tube. Later stops include William B. Shockley's boyhood home and the site of Google's first funding.
How far is the walk in miles, and how long does it take?
The route covers 3.7 km, roughly 2.3 miles, through downtown Palo Alto. Players typically take about two and a quarter hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. You can pause and continue later, so there is no need to finish in one go.
Is this a scavenger hunt in downtown Palo Alto?
It works much like one. The app leads you from stop to stop through downtown, tells the story of each place and sets a puzzle using what is in front of you, following two dreamers trying to build their own company. It is free to play, with no guide or group to join.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at Lytton Plaza and finishes at Hanahaus, so it does not end where it began. In between are 11 stops, including Lucky 165, the Downing House and Silicon Valley Bank. You can start any time, as the route is open around the clock, though daylight is better.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged family friendly. The puzzles are tied to real moments in tech history, so children who enjoy stories and riddles will get the most from it. Bear in mind the 3.7 km distance and roughly two and a quarter hours of play, which suits kids happy to walk that long.
