You lift your phone and the map unfurls across the screen — the town center becomes a playground of clues. Morning light catches the red-brick facades of West Bromwich as teams fan out: one toward the clock tower, another down High Street where shopfronts and public art hide the next object. The app pings; a riddle nudges you toward a doorway or a plaque, and the game moves at a human pace — easy walking interrupted by sudden bursts of competitive sprint.
