Morning light hits Lake Mirror and the hunt begins: a group clustered around a glowing phone, fingers tapping an app that points them toward murals, statues, and odd little details hidden in plain sight. The city hums — cyclists cross Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired streets, and palms shade narrow sidewalks as teams scatter in pursuit of points.
