Playing The Go Game
Despite the cold and the rain (check out my awesome rain boots, huh?) I set out to visit the HQ for the Go Game, a company that specializes in creating team building events and get-togethers. From their website:
The Go Game stages technology-fueled, creative games and activities for team building, marketing programs, sales training and just pure fun. Based in San Francisco, we stage unique, interactive events and scavenger hunts for groups of 3 to 10,000 players anywhere in the world
Joined by some of my friends, including my endlessly patient partner-in-crime Ryan Block, we traveled around the Mission district of San Francisco, completing quests and finding clues. Check out the video to see who was victorious!

We did this at work (well, off-site at a casino-resort), and it was a disaster. The phones rarely had enough signal to work, making it incredibly frustrating. If you want to check out something similar, but more fun, try the Kim Possible missions at Epcot in Walt Disney World. Had good times with that!
Hi Veronica,
Thanks for your blog post! We had a great time hosting this game and meeting the Cruzearati team. Please let us know if anyone has any questions regarding our games and the new app!
Cheers,
Ashley
I’ve been a plant for a couple of years; playing a balling bride, Russian Spy, Superwoman, lots of silly characters. It’s a fun job and I can’t believe I actually get paid for this. My friends didn’t really understand The Gogame when I’d tried to explain it to them, but I put that app on my phone and now they do get it and we’ve been playing it a bunch and it is a mighty fine time!!! It makes us laugh a lot (and I still get to work for them sweeeetttt!!!)
Hey Jeff,
“Disaster”? Oh no! We design and execute over 50 events a month across the US (and the world!). Along the way, we’ve definitely run into our share of poorly timed snow storms, over achieving private security guards, electrical outages… you name it. Playing a cell phone game with poor cell phone service isn’t the superior experience we strive for, and we’re so sorry your team was affected! All of our content is carefully planned (not to mention incredibly witty), and 99% of the time Verizon delivers that content quickly and painlessly. We absolutely stand by the quality of our technology as well as the good ol’ fashioned fun of our events — as do the thousands of people who’ve recommended us to friends and coworkers over the years!
We’d love the chance to show you how cool the Go Game is. With our new app, you can design and customize your own game in just a few minutes. Just shoot us an email/tweet/bat signal and we’ll get you hooked up with a free play code. We have a Seattle game zone ready and waiting for you, and we’ve got a few more neighborhoods in the pipeline for the near future.
And cool link with Kim Possible and Disney! We’ll defintely have to check that out next time we’re in Orlando bringing the fun to another convention.
Cheers,
Andrew & The Go Game
