Description

Denver with no guide, no clipboard, and nobody shuffling along behind a raised umbrella.

This is not a tour. Nobody is at the front talking, there is no pace to keep up with, and nothing you have to be quiet for.

You go where you think the answer is, at whatever speed suits you. The city carries on around you and you move through it with a reason, which is a completely different feeling from being shown around. You are not following a stranger with a flag. You are following a story, and the story belongs to your team.

Each stage reveals the next, so the afternoon unfolds rather than being handed to you. Some of it needs someone paying attention to detail. Some of it needs someone willing to commit to something faintly absurd in a public place. Most of it just needs a group of people who are happy to be in it together.

Stop for a coffee whenever you like. The story waits. Duck into a shop that catches your eye. Take the long way. The route adapts to you, not the other way around, and that is the difference between spending an afternoon in Denver and having one.

What you leave with is a few hours of shared puzzles and a version of Denver that nobody on the tour bus got to see.
