You open the app at Jake’s Skatepark on the Waterfront Promenade and the city rearranges itself into a map of puzzles. The harbor’s glassy surface throws back afternoon light while clues point you toward brick-lined streets, a Civil War–era hilltop park, and the hulking silhouettes of historic ships moored along the piers.
