About the destination

About New Orleans

New Orleans runs on music, food, and a few hundred years of mixed history, and Questo turns that into a self-guided city game you play at your own pace. Pick a quest, follow the story and clues on your phone, and let the route pull you through the French Quarter, the Garden District, and beyond. No guide, no set start time, no group to keep up with.

The quests cover a real range of the city. Some lean into history, from the founding-era streets to a story set in 1862. Others go after the spooky side New Orleans is known for, with ghost trails and the voodoo legends of the French Quarter. There are music-led mysteries and a longer outdoor adventure through City Park, so you can match the mood you are in. Along the way the routes pass landmarks any first-timer wants to see, like Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, Preservation Hall, and Congo Square, the spot tied to the roots of jazz.

A few local notes worth knowing. The muffuletta, the big round Sicilian sandwich layered with olive salad, was invented here and is still a city staple. In the warm months locals cool off with sno-balls, fluffy shaved ice soaked in syrup that is softer than a snow cone. And the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, running since 1835, is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world and a fine way to rest your feet between stops.

Questo's New Orleans quests are rated 4.59★ across 137 player reviews, and they suit couples on a date, families with kids, friend groups, and solo explorers alike. Open one, step outside, and start playing.

A taste of the challenge
01 / Word riddle

Name the creature.

I’m a majestic beast, swift and bold,
In fields of green, my tale unfolds.

A noble creature, with hooves that prance,
A symbol of freedom in every glance.

I can move swiftly, by day or night,
Chasing the wind, my spirit takes flight.

Though I may be pure, like snow, of course,
Can you guess what I am with my grace and force?
