You kick off on a sun-warmed sidewalk with the Savannah River daring you across the way and a phone that becomes your compass. The app drops a riddle, you scan storefronts and brickwork, snap a photo, and watch points climb on a live leaderboard while a remote host stands by in chat. The city feels like a puzzle with pockets of color—murals, riverfront stairs, and unexpected courtyards—each offering a small victory.
