You step onto a wide sidewalk as taxis hum and a live host pings your team: the hunt begins. Streets here offer a mix of art-splashed parks, immigrant-run storefronts, and unexpected public sculptures that dare you to look closer. The game sends you out across neighborhood blocks, through plazas and under elevated tracks, trading GPS pins and staged challenges for small local rewards — and laughs.
