The morning light picks out the angles of Watford Market and the redbrick of Clarendon Road as teams open the Operation City Quest app and decide their route. Streets hum with commuters and weekend wanderers; the challenge is to read the city quickly, track down riddled clues, and capture each find with a photo to score points. The game moves at the pace you set—two hours of local landmarks, street art, and unexpected nooks that reward curiosity.
