You start on the Promenade with the sea throwing salt air at your face and the tower slicing the skyline above arcades and lamp posts. The app chirps and a riddle appears; the game sends you in any direction you choose—toward the pier, past Victorian facades, or down quieter lanes where street art crowds the walls.
