Scavenger Hunt in SF

Wednesday(08/01) I took part in one of the most amazing and most entertaining things ever.
Google organized a "Scavenger Hunt" in the San Francisco area.

I know what you're thinking:"What the hell is a Scavenger Hunt?".
Well...teams of ~8 ppl were formed. We all selected a leader who received a smartphone. The smartphone had a piece of software installed that gave us various tasks. We also received a camera because some of the tasks involved taking picture of things or making videos. My team was called "Googler Mafia".

The tasks were very diverse. We had to find people who were part of the game ( a girl dresed in a batwoman suit, guys pretending to be beggars and stuff like that), find information in various parts of the game area, take photos of stuff, make videos that would fit in the guiness book of records. One funny thing was that we had to find a pirate lady and guess her favourite food by a game of 20 questions all done in pirate talk. Another was that we had to record a ballet depicting one famous moment in history.

Although my team didn't win we had a great time and as soon as the organizers will give us the photos and movies that we made I'll upload one of the movies.

As a teaser the movie is called : "The sexiest geek".

Google RULZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz!
