The low sun slants across the pier as teams fan out on foot, phones in hand, ready to chase clues through Pismo Beach’s compact seaside grid. Salt air tugs at your jacket and gulls circle like impatient judges while local architecture, murals, and oddball storefronts offer the hints that score points. This is less a tour and more a live game: a remote host guides, nudges, and scores the route while you interpret creative prompts and collect photos, text responses, and short videos.

Charge and test your phone
Bring at least one fully charged smartphone with mobile data; confirm the number you provide works for SMS or WhatsApp before the start.
Start early to avoid crowds
Morning or late‑afternoon slots reduce foot traffic on the pier and make photo clues easier to complete.
Pack a portable battery
Two hours of photo, video and messaging drains batteries—carry a power bank to avoid getting cut off mid‑hunt.
Respect private property and signage
Most clues are public; don’t cross fences, enter private businesses without permission, or disturb tidepools while searching for answers.
Smartphone with data
Required for receiving instructions, submitting photos/videos, and communicating with the remote host.
Comfortable walking shoes
Sturdy sneakers or flats for pavement, boardwalks, and short stair sections.
Portable battery pack
Keeps devices powered through photo and video tasks that consume battery quickly.
Light waterproof jacket
Coastal drizzle or wind can arrive suddenly; a shell keeps you comfortable during the hunt.
