Wear comfortable shoes

Plan for harbor wind
Layers work best—wind can make temperatures feel colder than the forecasted high.
Use public transit or park centrally
Downtown spots can fill; a central meetup reduces backtracking between checkpoints.
Fully charged smartphone
Required for clues, photos, messaging the remote host, and leaderboard entry.
Portable battery pack

City walking includes cobblestones and uneven sidewalks—support matters.
