You open the Let’s Roam app and the city reorganizes itself into a puzzle. Sidewalks, statues, and plaques that usually pass by like background noise become clues; a cobbled square dares you to stop and read. Beginning near the green expanse of Boston Common, the audio prompts and photo challenges nudge your group toward doorways where revolutionary graffiti once mattered, past taverns where arguments turned to action, and along streets that still hum with the cadence of 18th-century footsteps.
