A bell chimes over a cobbled square and your team huddles around a phone screen as the map wakes to life. You set off through narrow streets where merchant facades remember the 16th century and canals braid the city like blue nerves. The game drops you into Crazytopia, a tongue-in-cheek world of invented phobias, and asks you to read the city differently: clues tucked on plaques, patterns in brickwork, reflections in canal water that dare you to look twice.
