**Hidden City — The Society Beneath** is a cinematic, AI-powered real-world discovery game that transforms familiar streets into an interactive mystery.

Players follow cryptic riddles to real locations, capture photographs, and use Meta AI to unlock hidden stories, animated Discovery Seals, and an evolving Veiled Map. Completing four discoveries culminates in a secret-society initiation ceremony.

Hidden City addresses a simple problem: we move through our cities every day without truly exploring them. By combining immersive storytelling with multimodal AI, it encourages players to look more closely at the physical world instead of remaining absorbed and locked into a screen.

The first playable chapter is set in Denver, Colorado, with four real-world discoveries. The broader vision is a reusable framework for creating location-based adventures in other cities.

**Uncover the Stories Beneath Your City.**

**Source repository clarification:** The project's complete source code is publicly available at https://gitlab.com/Prevail/hidden-city. My original GitHub account was unexpectedly restricted, possibly for using multiple VMs (muse, spark, etc... at the same time to push to github) and a GitHub Support appeal is pending. GitLab is being used as an alternative public repository to preserve full source-code access for the judges. The live application and three-minute demonstration are also available. I have contacted the organizers to request confirmation that this alternative is acceptable.
