You start outside a local favorite — a brick-front café or courthouse square — phone in hand and a remote host waiting to nudge you into motion. The city hums: grape-scented breezes from nearby vineyards, delivery trucks on Main, alley murals daring you to look closer. The game unfolds as a walking (or driving) circuit through downtown, parks, and oddities only a curious pair of feet would notice.
