What to expect
You'll start with the app loaded on your phone, positioned at the trail entrance. Each clue directs you to a specific garden landmark or vista. Read the puzzle, work out the answer, enter it into the app, and you're sent to the next spot. The route keeps you moving steadily—expect a moderate walking pace with frequent stops to think and observe. You control the rhythm; take longer at views you love, or push through if you're keen to solve faster. The app tracks your progress and offers hints if you're genuinely stuck.
