A downtown plaza hums with the click of cameras and the low buzz of strategy as your team pores over riddles on a phone screen. You’re not following a tour guide; you’re following curiosity — alleys, murals, and unexpected courtyards becoming checkpoints as the app tallies points. The Trinity River and the grid of streets push you from the quieter North Side toward the theater lights of Sundance Square, turning ordinary blocks into a timed puzzle.
