## What is Handstand's Hunt!?

The SF Hunt – created by Handstand – is a 12-hour, 100 riddle scavenger hunt that marches you all over your beautiful city.

Using the mobile app, teams of 4-6 people solve riddles that lead them to unique locations around the city. At each location, teams experience something new -- they might search for a secret password, arm wrestle a stranger, or solve a riddle within a riddle. Teams submit photos, videos, or codes within the app, and can track their standings on a live leaderboard. Basically the best day ever.

We promise to use your location only during the game and as needed, but thought you should know that the continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Peace.

## Key features

- 12-hour scavenger hunt

I can’t wait to use it again. ❤️
