You step off the subway and the city exhales — a sticky surface of heat in summer, a crisp bite in winter — and the pavement becomes a game board. The Wacky Walks scavenger hunt routes you through streets that insist you look twice: murals that wink from alleys, market stalls calling out spices, and a lakeshore horizon that keeps time with the skyline.
