The game begins at a corner of downtown where glass towers meet the blue sweep of Tampa Bay and the Riverwalk hums with joggers. Teams peel away with phones lit, following riddles and photo challenges that push them through plazas, public art, and the alleys between historic storefronts. The city’s rhythms — streetcars clacking, gulls scolding from the water — set a brisk, playful pace.
