About this Event

If you’re tired of just wandering around aimlessly and hoping for the best, then get ready for a city adventure that will blow your mind (just figuratively - we are legally obligated to mention this!)

Enjoy a postcard walk of historic downtown Charleston. You will see houses, churches, graveyards, and enjoy stories of some of the people and places that helped shape this city’s rich history. You’ll discover the vibrant story of New Orleans through some of its most famous places—from St. Louis Cathedral to Café du Monde. Look for hints and solve riddles to unlock stories about iconic landmarks in the quarter renowned for its voodoo culture.

Are you ready to rediscover New Orleans' French Quarter?

We’ve got puzzles, riddles, and challenges that will make you scratch your head, laugh out loud, and maybe even question your sanity a little bit.

You will also visit cool places in the city and learn their fun or weird stories.

Strap on your walking shoes and let’s hit the streets like a pack of wacky wild dingos.

And don’t worry, we promise not to leave you stranded in some sketchy back alley - unless, of course, you’re into that kind of thing.

We’ve hosted 50.000 scavenger hunts so far. So, we’re pretty sure you will absolutely love it too!

If you don’t, let us know and we’ll live the rest of our lives in shame.

AGE RECOMMENDATION❓
