Field notes
The instructions specify several ways to inspect the clue: rotate the globe, place a city in the crosshair, and swipe through the image’s zoom levels. The page credits Mapbox, OpenStreetMap, and Maxar for imagery, and Natural Earth and GeoNames for globe and city data. The capture displayed “Acquiring signal…” and “Loading…,” so it does not establish whether a round was playable at that moment.
