You start on a bridge where the Mississippi dares you to pay attention — the Stone Arch’s granite underfoot and the river’s steady push set the pace. Teams scatter: some jog toward the Mill District, others linger at the Guthrie’s cantilevered viewpoint, camera phones ready to solve riddles and capture oddities the app requests.
