The Experience
Before You Go
Charge your phone
The hunt runs through the app and uses GPS and photos—bring a portable battery to avoid interruptions.

Plan a start time
Begin before late afternoon for plaque-reading in daylight or later for neon-lit photo challenges.
Use public transit or rideshares
Parking downtown is limited—tap the WeGo bus or a rideshare for drop-off near Broadway to save time.
