You begin outside a familiar city landmark — the river at your feet, gulls circling overhead, and a live remote host pinging your phone with the first riddle. For two hours you move through Milwaukee’s neighborhoods, trading clues for corners of the city most guidebooks skip: murals that flirt with the Riverwalk, cobbled alleys in the Historic Third Ward, and the broad blue edge of Lake Michigan that both cools and challenges the skyline.

Bring a fully charged smartphone
