Additional Information

Looking to transform New Orleans into a massive game zone? Urban Adventure Quest has devised a fun, interactive scavenger hunt that fuses the excitement of the Amazing Race with a three-hour tour of New Orleans’ sights. With guidance from any smartphone, teams navigate through the city’s popular and hidden treasures, solving riddles and undertaking tasks while uncovering local history. The quest starts near the downtown waterfront, taking you along the Mississippi River and through the city’s well-known markets. From Jackson Square to the legendary streets of this pirate haven, your team will enjoy a comprehensive experience. The activity entails approximately 1.6 miles of walking. Using your mobile as your ‘guide,’ you can choose your start time and set your own pace. Why not break halfway for some jambalaya or a beignet? It’s your own timetable after all. Available at a set cost for a team instead of individual pricing.

So much fun. Discovered parks... - <p>So much fun. Discovered parks, alleys, sculptures and hidden gems along the entire game route. If you love Amazing Race like challanges this is definitely it. Multiple levels of difficulty so all ages can help on different challenges. Loved silly and encouraging comments after each completed question. Perfect activity to explore NOLA on your own.</p>

Fun way to tour - So much fun! I got to see things I wouldn't have thought to visit. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 because one of the clues couldn't be solved because of missing plaque. If I'm paying for something, you'd think they would make the effort to change the clues when something changes. However altogether was a delightful experience and now I want to do it every place I visit!

Great way to see the city - Great way to see the city. The only thing that we'd suggest is to bring pen and paper. But otherwise this is a great idea!

Rainy and chilly - Getting lost and trying to figure out where to go. This would have been more fun if the weather was better

Disappointed but we managed. - Overall disappointed in the experience. Two of the stops were under construction but thankfully we were able to use google to keep going. Also - this is 100% on your own, on your phone. You really only need one person to pay for a ticket since you all do it together and there are no humans you talk to! We will not be using this company again.

Underwhelming. Lots of walking with not many sights - Walking through historic parts were nice. First part along boardwalk was lots of walking with not much to see. Puzzles challenging and did not enhance experience.

I would suggest it in the fall but not in summer. I have two children, ages 11 and 9, and they lost interest real fast.</p>
