A late-afternoon sun slants off Lake Champlain as teams fan out down Plattsburgh’s brick sidewalks, phones in hand and a remote host pinging challenges to their screens. The hunt transforms the city into a playful map of small museums, odd public art, and waterfront viewpoints; clues ask for creative photos, quick local history facts, and interpretive answers that reward curiosity as much as speed.
