You step out onto a broad downtown sidewalk as the map on your phone lights up — the city becomes a playground and the clock a real enemy. Streets hum with ordinary traffic while your team parses a scavenger list: food caches, improvised shelter spots, quick challenges that score points and shave seconds. The rush is urban and immediate; alleys, public squares and civic landmarks replace wilderness trails as you sprint, puzzle and prioritize.
