1. Carmen Sanfrancisco
Picture this: I invite you to a party at my house that starts at a very specific time. I tell you to dress like a detective, but I won’t tell you why. You show up in costume and are greeted by me, wearing a cherry red vinyl trench coat. The party start time rolls around and I am nowhere to be found! You and all of the other guests get a cryptic text message with a curious image that says, “You are the detective — where am I?” The hunt has begun.

2. San Francisco in Song
You receive a handwritten yellow sticky note. Thrillhouse Records. A date and time. Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

3. The World in Food
You receive a sheet of paper containing song lyrics — Bitter with the Sweet by Carole King — and a note. Your savory adventure awaits.

4. Time Travel at the Library
At the San Francisco Public Library, Carmen leads you on a historical tour of writing, libraries, and your present location. Before the tour even ends, you’ve all been recruited for a secret mission that takes you back 100 years in your quest for answers (and questions.)
