A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
How long does the Christmas scavenger hunt take, and how far do we walk?
Plan on about 90 minutes to cover roughly 2.5 km through 12 locations. You can go faster or slower, and you can pause the game at any point and continue later, so a stop for hot drinks or a break for tired legs is no problem.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is built as a family Christmas outing with silly dares, story characters and puzzles at each location. It suits children who can manage a 2.5 km walk and enjoy solving clues. Younger kids will likely need adults to help with the puzzles and reading.
Can we play as a group or use it for an office Christmas outing?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest, so friends, relatives or coworkers can play together. You act as Ground Control as a team, working through the puzzles and dares to collect the Elements of Spirit.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. There is no guide and no fixed group, so you start whenever suits you and play on your phone. The app leads you from location to location, and you can pause the game and pick it up again later.
Is it indoors or outdoors?
It is a walking game played outdoors, moving between 12 locations in the city over about 2.5 km. Check the forecast and dress for December weather. If it starts to rain, you can pause and finish another time.
Is Christmas Operation: Sleigh Down in San Francisco self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
