The quest
Be at Purcells Ridge (west of centre, St. John's) twenty minutes before the disk drops. Stay until it is gone. Leave with one colour that is not orange.
Steps
- Arrive at Purcells Ridge twenty minutes before sunset. Stay on public ground — not a bike lane, not a road deck.
- Watch until the disk is gone. Name three lights that stay on.
- Leave the way you came. Do not climb railings or cut through private docks.
Why this is on the board
Purcells Ridge is one of the spots west of centre, St. John's where St. John's actually faces the sky. You get the last colour of the day and a few minutes of standing still a patio will not sell you.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
