The sun hits a strip of sidewalk and the city's hum turns into a game clock — your phone buzzes, a list of survival items appears, and the streets of Mesquite suddenly feel like a map of possibilities. Teams fan out, the city’s everyday details repurposed as clues: a hardware rack becomes ammunition, a deli’s poster a trading post. The scavenger hunt moves at pedestrian pace, a one-hour sprint of observation, quick decisions and playful dares conducted through a remote host.
