You tap Start and the city shifts into a puzzle: brick storefronts, a narrow gulch where miners once ran sluices, and the Montana State Capitol dome catching late sun. The app sends you north along Last Chance Gulch; clues push you toward architectural details, public art, and a stair that opens onto Mount Helena’s green slope. The walking adventure turns routine errands into timed riddles and neighborhood secrets.
