Check Out Our Scavenger Hunt — Can You Finish Before The Performance Starts?

Posted March 27, 2019

Fewer than 20 blocks comprise the Gaslamp Quarter, and yet there’s no shortage of fun! Each block is packed with culture, fun, and something that makes it truly unique.

Whether you’re a tourist in search of San Diego entertainment or you’re a local trying to get to know your city and state a bit better — staycation, anyone? — then the Gaslamp Quarter and its surrounding areas are for you. And what better way to explore it than with a scavenger hunt? Our scavenger hunt has some of the best in San Diego attractions, and you can see it all for yourself when you print it off, gather your closest friends and family members, and race to the finish!

You can go as in-depth by spreading it out over a few days to truly experience each place or you can speed it up to see the attraction and cross it off the list. The order you complete tasks in doesn’t matter, though your finishing time compared to your friends’ completion certainly does! Let the hunt begin — and see if you can make it to San Diego Musical Theatre in time for a Broadway performance!
