DESCRIPTION
The Cole Stroll is a self-guided scavenger hunt through the Valley of Cole in San Francisco, California. It's designed for immature audiences of all ages and is best played by small groups of people working together. It includes fun, games, snacks, stories, puzzles, history, trivia and augmented reality.
The Cole Stroll is best experienced on foot. This is not a race. The entire hunt is approximately 2 hours depending on how much time you take to check things out along the way. The max team size is four players per team and teams can stroll together or compete against each other.
Impulse buying is encouraged and we recommend that each team spend some money acquiring goods and services from our partners along the way. Please respect our neighbors and all the spaces you will enter. Please support our local businesses by making purchases at your discretion as you go.
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Each team of players needs at least one mobile device (iOS or Android) with reliable carrier connection. Ideally, every player will have their own mobile device for a shared gaming experience.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
ClueKeeper mobile app is available to download at no cost through Google and App stores.
PERMISSIONS:
Geo-Locaction: Players must be within a specific geo-location to solve certain clues. As such, the app also requires access to your phone's geo-location.
Camera: The app also requires access to your phone's camera to launch augmented reality clues.
HOW TO PLAY:
GOAL: Acquire as many points as possible by solving clues correctly. This is not a race and time is not a factor for scoring.
TEAMS: Each unique HUNT CODE can only be used exactly once. To form a team have one player enter the HUNT CODE on behalf of the team. That Player can then use the ADD TEAM MEMBERS feature in the app to add up to three additional Players.
SEQUENTIAL: All clues must be solved in the order that they appear. Solving each clue will unlock the next one. Please scroll all the way to the bottom of each screen page before you move to the next screen on the app.
SOLVE: Most clues allow Players to guess the answer multiple times with no penalty. Some clues will warn Players that they are able to submit only one final answer before moving to the next clue.
HINTS: Most of the clues offer multiple hints to solve the clue. ALWAYS use ALL of the available hints before searching the web for the answer to the clue. The # of available hints is listed at the end of each clue and the final hint (ie. Hint # 3 of 3) is the actual answer to the clue. Each hint that you "purchase" will reduce the number of points that you acquire for that clue.
SKIP: Most clues can be skipped but we recommend that they are not. Players will receive no points for skipped clues.
LINKS: Any words that appear in blue font are web link that will send the Player to the internet for additional information.
