You start on a sun-washed sidewalk as a lone palm leans into the breeze, as if nudging you toward the first clue. The game drops a digital packet into your phone and a remote host appears—part cheerleader, part conspirator—setting a two-hour clock on a city that wears its history on storefronts and painted murals.

History
Palm Springs grew as a hot-springs destination and then a mid-century modern resort town; the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla people are central to local history.
Conservation
The desert is fragile—stick to paved paths, avoid picking plants, and pack out trash; conserve water and respect private property when solving clues.
