The hunt begins where Main Street meets the creek: a small crowd gathers, phones in hand, and a remote live host pings the first clue. You move through a compact village of brick storefronts, punctuated by the green roar of Akron Falls and the narrow cut of Eighteen Mile Creek. The town’s streets feel like puzzle pieces—each corner a cue, each storefront a possible hiding place for the next challenge.
