CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Think you know your city's streets? Think again. You're being watched, and it just got very personal. Your sister is gone, and a sadistic mastermind named "Razor" is holding the blade.
You’re not just taking a walk; you’re a pawn in a twisted scavenger hunt where the stakes are life and death. To find her, you’ll have to save others first—strangers trapped in Razor’s deadly games. You’ll need to solve sinister puzzles and help a detective trace the killer's location.
The clock is ticking, and every wrong move brings your sister one step closer to her final cut. Do you have the nerves to outsmart a killer, or will you become just another notch on his blade?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This New Orleans edition sends you on a 2 km walk through the city's streets, around 90 minutes of chasing a killer called Razor, saving his trapped victims and tracing your missing sister. Friends, couples after a dark date night and escape-room regulars who want an outdoor game will enjoy it. The serial-killer story makes it a poor fit for children or anyone hoping for a history walk.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A sadistic killer has people trapped around New Orleans and has given you the only clock that matters.
Crack story-driven puzzles under pressure, each one a setup you have to undo before the person inside it runs out of time.
A route of 2 km from Chartres St, running past Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral, and The Historic New Orleans Collection, turns streets you thought you knew into a crime scene.
For horror and thriller fans, best with a friend who keeps their head, and not the gentlest way to spend an evening.
Just your phone, playable after dark for the full effect, and you decide when the next victim gets your attention.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the game take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes and about 2 km on foot through New Orleans streets. That time includes solving the puzzles along the way. If you need a break, you can pause the game and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is a dark, fictional serial-killer rescue story tagged Horror & Haunts, with sinister puzzles and life-and-death stakes. It is written mainly for adults, so it is not a good fit for younger children. Parents of teenagers should judge whether their teen is comfortable with horror themes.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, so friends or couples can work through the puzzles together and help the detective trace the killer side by side. There is no guide and no other group joining you.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. You start whenever you like, which makes it easy to decide on the spot for tonight. The game runs on your phone, leads you from place to place, and lets you pause and pick it up again later.
Is it an indoor escape room or played outside?
It is played outdoors as a walk through the city streets, not inside a room. You solve the puzzles using what is in front of you as you move about 2 km. Check the weather before you set out and dress for it.
Is 20 Cuts in New Orleans self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. You can start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does 20 Cuts in New Orleans start and finish?
It starts at Starting Point, 711 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA 70130, USA and finishes at Ending Point, 700 Chartres St, New Orleans, LA 70116, USA.
