You stand on warm sand as the Atlantic breathes a quick salt breeze across your face; behind you the squat red-and-white tower of Tybee Light watches like an old town crier. It’s here—at a familiar, scenic meet-up on the island’s eastern edge—that a remote host will ping your phone, drop the first clue, and set a two-hour clock that turns Tybee’s streets, piers, and beach paths into stages of a playful urban puzzle.
