You lift your phone and the city bends to the game: the Forks’ riverbank underfoot, the Red and Assiniboine daring you to look for clues along their edges. Wind from the prairies carries the distant sound of streetcars and conversation; around each corner a mural, a historic façade or a hidden statue becomes a checkpoint in a casual, app-guided race.
