Bridges, basketball and a riverside promenade with memory built in — Portland's east-west seam is best explored on foot.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Portland on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Circle the Moda Center, home of the Trail Blazers
• Cross the double-decked Steel Bridge, an engineering original
• Reflect at the Japanese American Historical Plaza on the waterfront

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Spanish.

Bridgetown lives up to the name.

What to expect

Starting on the Willamette riverfront near the Steel Bridge, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and follow the water. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Moda Center anchors the east bank — the Trail Blazers' arena, where riddles shoot from beyond the arc.

The Steel Bridge itself is the star crossing: a 1912 double-decker whose lower rail deck lifts independently of the top, one of a kind in the world. Trivia raises the stakes accordingly.

Then the Japanese American Historical Plaza brings the route to a thoughtful close, its stone poems remembering internment and resilience among cherry trees.

Around two hours along Bridgetown's waterfront loop. The leaderboard posts the final score — rain or shine, as Portland insists.
