I’m really excited to announce that I am bringing Hidden San Diego’s Scavenger Hunts back! We have put on many hunts in the past which were wildly successful.
After a long break and a little brain-storming though, they are finally back! This is a fun way to get out and visit some of San Diego’s fun, hidden gems while hunting for treasures!
A 24 hour notice will be posted on all socials before each hunt. In order to get the clues, you must subscribe to our email list to ensure you get notified when the egg has been hidden. It will also be announced in our Instagram and Facebook stories once it’s been hidden.
Each egg will have a value somewhere between $150-$500 with prizes from multiple companies!
Make sure to follow our pages to see when the eggs are hidden:
If you are a business wanting to be part of one of the hunts, please reach out to us via social media messages or shoot us an email [email protected].
