You start with a beep and a map on your phone; Dudley’s streets unfold like a puzzle daring you to read them. Brick terraces, canal locks, and the silhouette of a ruined castle frame the game as teams split up to photograph clues, complete mini-challenges, and chase points across town. The app keeps score while a remote host chats hints — the city becomes a timed playground rather than a passive backdrop.
