The River District glows under strings of lights and the Caloosahatchee dares you to look up from your phone long enough to notice the tide-line reflections. That tension—between street-level discovery and the river’s slow pull—defines the Holly Jolly Hunt in Fort Myers: a one-hour, app-led scavenger hunt that sends teams across downtown to photograph holiday items and complete playful challenges.
