You start on a broad boulevard, the Spree nudging the city forward as trams hum and brick façades watch. The app pings with the first riddle; a statue dares you to look closer, a square asks you to remember why it changed. Walking this self-guided scavenger hunt, the city becomes a sequence of prompts — history in pockets, street-level geology in cobblestones, and postwar architecture sliding into contemporary façades.
