You step off the curb and the city answers: mural alleys grin, the skyline dares you forward, and the pavements keep a steady rhythm underfoot. An app pings a challenge — a plaque to find, a statue detail to photograph — and the hunt spills across blocks of glass towers, pocket parks and red-brick storefronts.
