The 4UNT - Virtual Scavenger Hunt

"fun, song-filled thematic characters to suit the vast history of this city. As a non techy and GPS glitches in the remotest regions of the San Jose hemispheres, there were more than enough frustrations and flirtations with cautions tape and security guards who kicked us out of complexes to not be named, it was incredible meeting the vast and diverse characters from different cultures and walks of life. Charlie's Cheesecakes warmed my heart (and palette) with his cheesecake. Teeny Thai got a jingle we love them so much! Jesus lowrider parades and classic carwashes. Ribbs Lane??!! What!? I actually had gotten to know the African American racecar driver Willy T. Ribbs when I worked at Lord John's, but never knew his family, African-American entrepreneurs of the West, had a street? Cesar Chavez and his home, Dia de los Muertas altars and celebrations showed me the rich vibrancy of Alum Rock. New Almaden and the mining area, discovering Pat Tillman's memorial while visiting the Veteran Wall and the largest Virgin Mary -- stunning moments of prayer and spirituality in what turned out to be a 24/7 race to this finish line. Who knew there was 24 hour mass?? Ethiopian, falafel, celebrating Sarah Winchesters architectural genius, vistas, rancheros, cows, horses, donkeys, raccoons, Japanese gardens, art, murals, nirvana soul coffee - I am so moved by all the people we have met. The nicest humans ever. It will take me weeks to clean the costumes out of my car, but each piece has been worth it. To tell the story, but also be part of the story...and see the future and potential of San Jose' possibility. Thank you 4unt!!! I was going to give it a 4 star for tech issues, but that we know will improve. The scope of this race has been well researched with a lot of heart. Blew my mind for real!"

"Competed in the inaugural 4UNT scavenger hunt. Awesome time all around! Great for bonding time and letting our creativity flow. Learned new things about the Bay Area, even as San Jose natives. Get ready to explore and show your goofy side. Our team will be ready to take you on next time!"

"This was probably the best activity I have ever done! The 4UNT was a fun, exciting, exhausting, challenging, nail-biting experience. It is something that I will always look back on and will definitely do again! Thanks to everyone for making this experience possible!"

"last minute i joined a crew for the 9 day scavenger hunt. let me tell you. you have to be dedicated because many times i wanted to throw in the towel. Livinglegends was our team name. The challenges made you familiar with the town of San Jose and its surrounding neighbor cities. Challenges had to be performed such as making videos of local business, taking pictures of business, and riddles. It was basically how well you know the city you live in. it also gets you to be more involved and knowledgeable of local artist and local business owners. In the end, it was fun but i had major anxiety attacks and nights not sleeping. If you can handle the pressure, Game on!"
