Night pours itself over brick sidewalks and narrow alleyways as you tap the Let’s Roam app and step into Birmingham’s downtown loop. Neon signs wink above storefronts, and the city’s pulse—equal parts steel-town grit and Southern late-night hum—leads you from one barfront to the next. The scavenger hunt frames each stop as a puzzle: a plaque to read, a statue detail to catch, a photo challenge that asks you to inhabit the scene.
