A puzzle adventure across the National Mall. Solve six objectives, walk about 1.5 miles, and see Washington’s memorials like nobody else does. Six stops. Clues hidden in granite, bronze and carved inscriptions. Each one you crack unlocks the next. Part scavenger hunt, part brain teaser, from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, starting at either end. The memorials left words behind on purpose, and most visitors walk right past them. You’ll find a carver’s mistake, a step where history was spoken, and a quiet island most people never visit. The kind of stuff that makes someone say “wait, seriously?” Between stops, an audio transmission from Operations Center tells you what you found and where to go next. On the long walk, snap photos and our AI analyst sends back a read. Find Kilroy and earn a bonus badge. No tour guide. No schedule.
