A late-afternoon sun warms the brick facades of Gruene as teams gather at a local favorite—Gruene Hall—phones humming and maps unopened. The hunt starts with a remote host pinging a digital clue; you step into streets where live music leaks from doorways and the Guadalupe River threads green through the district. The game rewards curiosity: a crooked sign, a painted door, a song lyric half-remembered.
