This was a great event. It's an urban scavenger hunt/interactive theater through the streets of San Francisco's North Beach and Chinatown. We had a great time, were thoroughly entertained and loved meeting and interacting with all the characters. We found ourselves gathering up some very interesting props as we made our walk through town (see pic below... I won't give away the details). I definitely recommend this event, especially with a big group of friends. We even hung out with some of the cast afterwards.
I can't quite figure out the rave reviews......family members? The best part was being with friends, going for a nice long walk through the city without having to deliberate over where to go next. Being introduced to new haunts in the city was fun. I found the Shanghai part to be pretty lame actually. Maybe we just hit it on an off day, I don't know. I give the creators credit for an original idea and I think, with a little work, it could be so much more engaging and interesting. I live in Bay area....there are a lot of talented people here...it's reasonable to have high expectations.
What a great time! I've lived in San Francisco for most of my life, and this little adventure showed me parts I never knew existed. Take a friend, meet a friend...grab someone and go on this quest. Great way to spend a Saturday in San Francisco!

Shanghai San Francisco, the audience-driven theatrical adventure, is bringing the celebrated San Francisco arts scene into the streets. In this live choose-your-own-adventure, you are the star of the show.
It's not a play, though you will be a player. It's not a tour, though you will be walking. When the performance begins, the audience learns that a San Francisco native has been shanghaied (kidnapped) and are called upon to save her from her fate out at sea. Instead of sitting in a theater, the audience embarks on a two-hour mission through the city, seeking out actors on the streets, in charming native bars and in swanky hideaway restaurants.
Shanghai San Francisco is the only experience of its kind, inviting you to see the city from an entirely new perspective, all the while tasting local food and drink.
Just remember to watch out for the Bowery Hounds roaming the streets, because in Shanghai San Francisco, you could be next....
