The experience
About this quest
During the French Quarter Festival, ghost sightings shake the streets—and the Grave Gang is already in town, cameras rolling. Locals whisper of a vanished dancer seen drifting through locked rooms in smoke.
Gracie hosts, Geoff flies the drone, and you chase clues across haunted venues and shadowy streets. Is it a ghost… or sabotage? Blending mystery, modern tools, and the folklore of New Orleans, this outdoor escape game may expose The Phantom Ballerina—and you hope to be part of the legend.
