The Mississippi watches over the city like a slow-moving audience, daring teams to take the streets and solve the city's small mysteries. Participants begin at a celebrated local meeting spot and receive instructions from a remote live host who nudges, cheers, and scores via text. From there teams fan out—on foot or by short drives—to chase clues that lead through storefronts, murals, riverfront paths, and alleyways where Memphis’s character sits in plain sight.
