Conservation

Bring a fully charged smartphone
Your remote host communicates by phone or WhatsApp; a dead battery ends the hunt early—carry a power bank.
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Expect uneven sidewalks, short staircases, and some gravel near riverfront areas—supportive shoes make for a better game.
Time your start for mid-morning
Beginning around 10am avoids the busiest tourist windows and gives shops time to open for certain clues that require interaction.
Respect private property and local businesses
Many challenges ask for photos or quick conversations—don’t trespass, and ask before photographing inside businesses.
Smartphone with data or WhatsApp
Required for receiving clues, sending photos, and staying in touch with your live host.
Portable charger (power bank)
Keeps devices running through photo/video tasks and map use.
Comfortable walking shoes
Provides support for urban sidewalks, slight stairs, and mixed surfaces.
Light rain jacket
Quick showers are common in spring; a packable layer keeps the hunt moving.
