Description
Tech Search Party is your chance to reinforce your geek cred while trekking around San Francisco's Noe Valley with your friends and phone. The event is a scavenger hunt-meets crossword puzzle-meets street party.All of the money raised benefits improving technology in three San Francisco public schools.
It works like this:
Arrive on time at the auditorium at James Lick Middle School (entrance is at the corner of Noe and 25th Street). Check in runs from 5:15 to 6:00. At 6:00 pm sharp participants will be given a map with some clues to decipher. Deciphering those clues will lead you to various locations in Noe Valley. When you arrive at the mystery location, take a photo of the answer with your phone and email it back to an address provided at the beginning of the event. The first team to complete the clues or the team with the most clues after two hours will be the winner.
Why: For fun, mostly. And for prizes.
Prizes: The folks at Plantronics have already kicked in donations of one of their top Bluetooth headsets. We have gift packs from the folks at Coffee & Power, and some of those very cool game cubes from the folks at Sifteo.
Cost: The fee is $50 for a team of up to 4 and $75 for a team of up to 6. A bargain for memories that will last a lifetime. Don't forget to come up with a great team name. Be creative; you might get bonus points.
Rules: You’ll need a phone that can take a picture and send email. Be on time, or you’ll be behind your fellow competitors. Teams have to stick together and stay on foot. Bring a flashlight (or flashlight app). Charge up your phone batteries. Respect the neighborhood.
The Tech Search Party will conclude at The Valley Tavern on 24th Street in Noe Valley.
