A late-afternoon sun slants across Columbia's grid as you tap open the app and the city becomes a field of objectives. Streets you thought you knew start to stare back with new purpose: murals mark supply caches, corner cafés hide photo challenges, and the riverfront dares you to move fast. The game turns downtown and historic neighborhoods into a tactical playground where curiosity and speed matter as much as creativity.
