Last night, a wizard visited you in a dream—her eyes wide with worry. “Someone has stolen my pet owl, Oly!” she cried. Clutched in her hands was a strange, glowing device… a phone. “They say I must solve the riddles it holds to get him back—but I don’t know how. You, from the world beyond dreams, must help!”
And just like that, you wake up—with the phone in your hand.
Your quest begins in the heart of Boston’s Harvard Square. Follow magical clues, solve real-world puzzles, and explore famous places and faces as you help bring Oly home.
