A cold wind off Lake Superior pushes past the waterfront and into the city streets as you tap open the app — the clock starts, and Thunder Bay becomes an urban survival map. You walk past brick storefronts and the echo of freight trains, following clues that thread you between Fort William–era streets and the harbor where the lake dares you to look farther. The game turns ordinary city blocks into checkpoints, and ordinary passersby into allies in a playful apocalypse.

Conservation
Stay on sidewalks and public paths, dispose of trash responsibly, and follow local guidelines for waterfront protection — Lake Superior’s shoreline is sensitive to litter and erosion.
