The streetlights along South Union throw long slats of amber across wet pavement as your group unlocks the Let’s Roam app and sets off. You move through short city blocks, past murals and neon, the Genesee River murmuring nearby and daring you to take the long way home. Challenges pop up on your phone—photo prompts, trivia about local landmarks, and dares that turn routine bar stops into a game of wits and timing.
