You stand outside a small brick square in Rhinebeck, phone in hand, the town’s slate roofs and painted storefronts watching as your remote host sends the first clue. The scavenger hunt turns the village into a playable map: a cracked stone wall dares you to find a carved initial, a river breeze nudges you toward a quiet lane lined with clapboard houses, and a local baker’s bell signals a bonus challenge.
