You begin at a downtown crossroads where adobe facades catch the low sun and the Rio Grande seems to dare you to cross its slower, reflective current. The app pings; a remote host greets your team and the clock starts. The objective isn’t only to find objects—it’s to read the city quickly, choose routes, and complete themed challenges that turn ordinary storefronts and plazas into supply caches and safe houses.

History
Las Cruces grew as an agricultural and trading center in the 19th century near the Rio Grande; neighboring Mesilla preserves the territorial plaza and adobe architecture.
Conservation
Urban scavenger hunts should minimize impact—stick to public spaces, dispose of trash, and avoid disturbing desert plants; local desert ecosystems are fragile and recover slowly.
