The mission: Your story in Jersey City
You took an art class and a yoga class. It turns out that your art and yoga teachers know each other and are good friends.
You mention your ennui to them and they send you on a quest to find beauty, art, and meaning in your daily life.
You'll be looking at various sites in the city, solving puzzles, and there will be one big, final puzzle at the end.
