Oh man, love a good city‑maze adventure! First off, always blend in like a local—wear a hoodie and sunglasses even if it’s sunny, just to keep a low profile. Use public transport; trains and subways let you hop in and out without getting stuck on a single street. Pick a few side streets that don’t have cameras or heavy foot traffic and run on those. Keep a rhythm—don’t chase straight; zig‑zag a bit, pause at a café or a bookstore, then keep moving. If you’re following someone, stay a couple of blocks behind and use the same route back and forth, so you’re always one step ahead. Keep your phone offline for a while—no GPS pinging the target. Instead, grab a paper map or a friend’s old phone for a quick direction check. Also, remember to switch modes: one minute you’re just walking, the next you hop on a bike or even a scooter, then back to walking. It throws off any pattern the target can pick up. And if you need to change plans on the fly, have a backup route ready—think like a maze runner with a secret exit. Stay light on your feet, keep your head down, and always be ready to improvise. That’s the key to staying one step ahead in the city’s endless twists and turns.
