Street Scramble®
events are a great way to explore a new city or neighborhood or discover hidden gems of one you
thought you knew well. Using the course map and your question sheet, visit as many of the
30 (or so) checkpoints on foot or bike as you can in the time limit, usually
90 minutes or 3 hours. Get together a team of friends or family, or enjoy a solo
challenge!
Street Scramble® is a registered trademark of Meridian Geographics, a Seattle-based adventure-sport company. MerGeo
produced over 60 successful Street Scramble events between 2004 and 2012,
including events in Millbrae.
Get Lost!!, working with MerGeo, brought Street Scramble back to the Bay Area in 2011.

Instead of, or in addition to, the
plain-old paper passport/scorecard, Get Lost!! offers our Street Scramble event
participants a cellphone-based electronic scoring option. Points are tabulated and the
results are ready for the participants instantly as they arrive at the finish. Another option
is to read QR codes displayed by businesses. If you are
a business and are interested in promoting your enterprise by featuring its location, and
perhaps products and offerings, at a Street Scramble event, please contact us.
Later in 2013, we plan to test a GPS-based
competitor tracking system at Street Scramble events. Checkpoint visits will be scored
instantly and automatically upon approaching the target within 20 meters. An audible
beep will serve as confirmation. Routes will be quickly uploaded for post-event
analysis.

Also worth mentioning:
- The Urban Wild
Roundup series of navigation-based events, held by our sister organization,
terraloco. The Roundup features creative courses, usually on multiple maps
of varying heritage, sometimes point-to-point—a jazzy take on the concept.
- San Francisco and Seattle Night & Day Challenge events, the grandmama of Street
Scramble. These are your mega-supersize chances at urban (and not so urban) adventures. Hosted
by Meridian Geographics for eight successful seasons. Street Scramble and Urban Wild
Roundup events are the perfect training for these supreme tests of physical and mental
endurance!
