Start outside the designated meeting spot—likely a bright plaza or civic lawn—and feel the city open like a notebook. The hunt begins with a ping: your remote live host delivers a digital quest and the first clue. You move through Olympia’s human-scale streets, from glass-fronted cafés to quieter civic spaces, solving prompts, snapping photos, and trading answers with locals who know the town’s smaller stories.
