You begin on the courthouse plaza—flagpoles shifting in the high desert breeze, tourists and locals threading between shaded benches. Your phone pings: a remote live host welcomes you to the Prescott Prowl and releases your first clue. From here the town opens like a map of stories: brick facades, weathered signs on Whiskey Row, and granite outcrops at the edge of town that seem to watch every passerby.
