You step off the main street into a sun-bright block of murals, coffee shops, and curious storefronts. The scavenger hunt hands you a digital map and a string of clues that send you down alleys, into parks, and through the low, volcanic ridges that frame Redmond’s high-desert plain. Clues can push you to ask a shopkeeper a local fact, search a historic plaque, or take a photo with public art — the city becomes a replayable playground.
