The year is 1915. San Francisco has been reborn from the ashes of the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906. Under the vision of people such as D.W. Griffith, Mack Sennett and Charlie Chaplin, the silent film industry has taken off and revitalized entertainment. With the advent of a new railway, wine makers have discovered California's Sonoma and Napa Valley Wine Regions and are building an industry they believe will someday rival the wines of France. We are honored to have such important guests here from all over the world. We meet in the historic Archbishop's Mansion which has suffered no damage in 1906 after just opening the previous year. We have also heard a rumor that we will meet several sponsors for the Panama Pacific Exposition.

The audience will receive a great variety of written and verbal clues and then work on teams to complete the solution card. The best sleuths will get prizes.

Come dressed in period costume from 1915 or just add a top hat or feather boa to your current wardrobe.
