Frequently asked questions

French Quarter context
Colonial streets behind the fictional missing artwork
The Vieux Carré was laid out in the French colonial period and rebuilt through later Spanish and American eras. Jackson Square, the Cabildo and the surrounding streets preserve parts of that layered civic and architectural history. This quest uses those real places for an original treasure hunt; the stolen painting and the people involved in its disappearance are fictional. Playable languages: English, Spanish.
