Streetlight reflections pool on wet cobbles as your group gathers, phones in hand and a city map only in memory. The scavenger hunt begins with the River Avon daring you to cross its bridges, the harbor breeze nudging you toward a plaque, a statue, a mural that hides the next clue. The app spins the city into a game: photo challenges, trivia tied to plaques, and tasks that pull you through lanes most visitors miss.
