The sun leans low over saguaros as your group unlocks the Let’s Roam app and steps into downtown Tucson — the city hums: pavement, neon, and the distant silhouette of the Santa Catalinas. Sidewalks guide you past murals and historic storefronts while the app dares you to find plaques, snap photos, and earn points at each stop. It feels part pub crawl, part urban treasure hunt, with the desert quietly keeping watch.
