Under a bright, shifting sky the city steps into play: brick facades, murals folded into alleyways, and bronze plaques that dare you to look closer. You start at a mapped point in Midtown, phone in hand, and the first prompt nudges you toward a mural half-hidden behind a café awning. The cobblestones hum with history; the breeze off the harbor pushes you toward the next clue.
