You step out onto the brick ring of Monument Circle and the city begins to speak — traffic hums, fountains hiss, and bronze figures watch as teams fan out. This is an app-led scavenger hunt through downtown Indianapolis: a two-hour, self-guided chase across plazas, past public art, and along the Canal Walk, where the water dares you to slow down and look closer.
