You step off the curb and the city opens like a map you haven’t learned yet — brick storefronts, a river that keeps moving, and a host on the other end of your phone nudging you toward the first clue. The Medford Mashup scavenger hunt turns downtown streets and neighborhood corners into a timed playground, alternating brisk walks, short drives, and social puzzles that require curiosity more than endurance.
