The morning sun lifts off the St. Johns and the city opens like a puzzle. Teams peel out from downtown sidewalks, phones in hand, following riddles that push them into alleys, plazas and riverfront promenades. The scavenger hunt asks players to look closer — a painted mural that hides a clue, a bronze plaque that tells a story, a stairwell that leads to a viewpoint — and to capture each discovery through the app.
