New Orleans Walking Ghost Tour Supreme Court to Jackson Square
See more
This is a self-guided exploration game where you'll be solving a paranormal criminal case involving real people and their wandering ghosts. Nobody has been able to solve the case since 1962. But you, with your detective and observational skills, and a little help from the Questo app, will try to close it in 2 hours. The route will take you through 13 of the French Quarter's most haunted addresses and your job is to interrogate ghosts and follow the trail of lies.
You'll discover unbelievable dark stories like the Sultan's Palace massacre, the enslaved casket girls, and a man who ate at Muriel's but never existed.
Each location visited will involve inspecting a real-world object and solving a challenge.
Best after dark with your phone torch on. It involves about 1.4 miles of casual walking, with unlimited breaks.
Hints and 24/7 support if you get stuck.
It's the perfect activity for Halloween or for any other night out when you're in the mood for creepy ghost stories.

Itinerary
-
Stop 1
You'll start on Royal Street in front of the white marble Louisiana Supreme Court, where the app opens your case file and introduces the agent running it. Your first task will be to find a plaque and decipher a password that will unlock the rest of the file. Once you solve it, you learn the story of the ghost of Paul Morphy, the chess prodigy who trained as a lawyer and never got a single client.
-
Stop 2
You'll walk up Chartres Street to a storefront with green shutters and a hanging apothecary sign. You'll solve a challenge and learn the story of a man who ran the pharmacy and was accused of doing experiments so grim that they ended up in a museum.
-
Stop 3
You'll turn off Jackson Square into Père Antoine Alley, the narrow flagstone passage that runs along the side of the cathedral. Here the app hands you a message that requires you to investigate the cathedral to answer it. You'll also learn who Père Antoine was. He ran this parish for almost forty years, got an alley named after him while he was still alive, and was buried under the altar in 1829.
-
Stop 4
You'll stop at the weathered wooden front of Preservation Hall on St Peter Street and you'll inspect it to solve a challenge.
-
Stop 5
You'll walk down Orleans Street to the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. You'll solve a challenge, inspect the building's architectural elements and learn about a woman who founded the first order of Black nuns in the South.
-
Stop 6
You'll walk up Royal Street to the grey house on the corner of Governor Nicholls, the most photographed haunted address in New Orleans. You'll solve a challenge and read about the case of Delphine LaLaurie.
-
Stop 7
You'll head down Chartres Street to the oldest building in the Mississippi Valley. You'll investigate the gate and solve a challenge to learn the real story of the enslaved casket girls.
-
Stop 8
You'll finish the game on Jackson Square, where you'll put together every piece of evidence you've collected so far to solve the final challenge and close the file. You'll also learn what happened on this ground in 1769, when five rebels were shot and their bodies were later recovered by a priest.
