Some people wait to be rescued. Others find their own way out.
Every day at the diner was the same—until a mysterious customer began arriving at 5pm sharp with a cup of coffee, a battered puzzle book and stories of a life spent finding things others couldn’t. Then one day, he disappeared, leaving behind a box, a torn map and an unexpected invitation.
The DCA Search & Rescue Quest sends you throughout Disney California Adventure solving escape room-style clues and uncovering tales from the mysterious treasure hunter’s past. Each solution brings you closer to the missing piece of his map—and the chance to leave the ordinary behind for something much bigger. Solve every clue, complete the map and discover whether you have what it takes to find your own way down the rabbit hole.
