You start at a corner where the Welland Canal slices through town and the river dares you to follow its locks. The app buzzes, the remote host chimes in, and suddenly a quiet weekday street becomes a mapped apocalypse: grocery-store clues, mural-based puzzles, and checkpoints tucked near century-old brick facades.

History
Welland developed around the Welland Canal, a 19th-century engineering project that remade travel and trade across the Niagara Peninsula and shaped the city’s layout.
Conservation
Stick to public walkways, avoid trespassing on private property, and take any trash with you—urban games work best when players respect shared spaces and waterways.
