About this quest

The grey fog can wrap itself around Aquatic Park like a soft blanket. There’s nothing soft about your job. 

You’re an errand boy for the most notorious American gangster of them all, Al Capone. He may be locked up on “The Rock”, but he can get things done!  

With sweeping views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay, this is one of the most beautiful areas in San Francisco. 

Don’t take too much time admiring the scenery, you’re working for “Scarface” and he expects results, and punks who fail end up sleeping with the fishes.

What to Expect

This self-guided walking tour in San Francisco combines exploration, storytelling, and puzzle-solving into one unique experience. As you navigate through the city, you will discover 10 carefully selected locations, each revealing a piece of the story.

The entire quest takes approximately 7260 minutes to complete and covers 1.4km on foot. You will move at your own pace, with the freedom to pause whenever you want to take photos, grab a coffee, or simply soak in the atmosphere.

Each location features a challenge or puzzle that unlocks the next chapter of your story. These challenges are designed to be fun and engaging while teaching you about the history, culture, and hidden gems of San Francisco.

No tour guide needed – your smartphone becomes your guide. The Questo app provides directions, shares stories, and presents challenges along the way.

The mission: Your story in San Francisco

The last guy who got this job is in General Hospital in a body cast. Working for Al Capone, the notorious gangster isn’t for punks. Big Al is in a cell on Alcatraz, a half-mile away, but he’s got muscle, so they gave you a little job to do. 

You’re no punk, you’re smart. You know your way around Aquatic Park. The Boss tapped you, wheels turned, bribes got made, arms got twisted.  

You’re a gunsel, coat collars up and fog swirling around lamp posts, waiting for a guy with a package, and a list.
