About this experience

Players use the Questo app to follow clues, interrogate suspects, and solve puzzles while discovering hidden gems, haunted landmarks, and secret stories of the French Quarter that most tourists never find. Completely self-guided, it can be played at any pace, paused for food or drinks, and enjoyed by couples, families, or groups of any size. No guide, no fixed schedule — just pure exploration and mystery.

Itinerary and highlights

A body has been found in the fog-drenched streets of the French Quarter, and the police are stumped. It's up to you to crack the case.

Step into the role of a detective as you navigate the historic heart of New Orleans, from the shadowy corners of Jackson Square to the legendary Bourbon Street. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you'll follow a trail of cryptic clues, interrogate suspects, and piece together evidence — all while discovering the hidden stories, haunted history, and secret landmarks that most tourists never see.

This is NOT a boring walking tour. This is a fully interactive, self-guided murder mystery adventure that turns the city into your personal crime scene. Walk at your own pace, pause for beignets or a hurricane cocktail, and pick up right where you left off.

Perfect for couples looking for a unique date night, families seeking a fun adventure, friend groups wanting something different, or solo travelers who love a good mystery. No guide, no group, no schedule — just you, the clues, and the city.

Skip the ordinary. Solve the extraordinary.
