The hunt begins on a crisp morning at a local favorite — imagine the broad lawns of the Alberta Legislature Grounds or a river-valley overlook where the North Saskatchewan cuts a green swath through the city. A remote live host pings your phone, delivers a digital dossier, and the game unfolds: clues, micro-challenges, and moments that push you to talk to strangers, read plaques, and look up.
