You step off the waterfront boardwalk with a phone buzz and a mission: find a painted whale, photograph a brass plaque, solve a riddle at a courthouse square. The Halifax Crazy Dash drops teams into the city's living map — a 2-hour, app-guided scavenger hunt that pushes you through historic streets, along the harbour’s edge, and into neighborhood alleys where public art and small-scale maritime industry meet.
