The River District hums with the quiet energy of an early-afternoon tide—murmuring river, painted murals, and the click of shoes on brick. On Operation City Quest’s app-guided scavenger hunt, teams fan out from the waterfront, answering riddles and completing photo challenges that push players into alleyways, parks, and along the Caloosahatchee River where the current seems to dare you to keep pace.
