You start on a salt-sprayed street where the Columbia River pushes against the shoreline and the town’s wooden buildings lean into the wind. Teams fan out from a single meeting point, phones in hand, following clues that send them through alleys, past murals, and up short flights of stairs to small museums and oddball storefronts. The hunt feels like a live puzzle threaded through the city’s waterfront and downtown blocks.
