You arrive on a gray-sky morning at the edge of Victoria’s Inner Harbour and the city immediately starts to talk — gulls complaining overhead, streetcar tires whispering along rails, a plaza clock marking your starting line. The hunt unfurls across storefronts, public squares, and the narrow alleys of Chinatown, asking you to look closer: an inscription on a stone, a painted mural, a lantern tucked under eaves.
