You step off Elm Street with your phone buzzing—an app‑led adventure unfurls under the city's elm canopy. Paved sidewalks, public art, and the distant clack of a railcar set the rhythm as your team splits into roles: Photographer frames a mural, Brainiac deciphers a riddle, Mapper plots the next move. The game pushes you through Government Plaza, past the Woolworth lunch counter that helped ignite the 1960 sit‑ins, and into pockets of green where statues and plaques keep the city's stories alive.
