The quest
Be at Shaffebough Hill (north-west of centre, Halifax) twenty minutes before the disk drops. Stay until it is gone. Leave with one colour that is not orange.
Steps
- Arrive at Shaffebough Hill 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
Shaffebough Hill is one of the spots north-west of centre, Halifax where Halifax 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.
