Clue Carré - New Orleans' First Live Escape Game
What Exactly is an Escape Room?
An escape room is an interactive mystery to solve. Your group is locked in a room, and must use teamwork, keen observation and critical thinking to gather clues, discover hidden objects and solve riddles in order to break free. It’s a live entertainment puzzle that is great for parties and team building.

Rumor has it that Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau has hidden the last surviving bottle of her elusive Love Potion in this room. Can you follow the clues Marie has left for you, find the bottle and make a clean getaway before her voodoo curse takes effect in one hour?

The Game Museum
Welcome to the Evolution of Games exhibit at the Clue Carré Museum of Games. As humanity has evolved over the centuries, so has our ability to fulfill possibly our most primal need: to play games. From thousand-year old games like Go and Mancala through today’s video and virtual-reality simulations, we have filled our free time with cards, boards, dice, and all manner of monsters to defeat. This time, the monsters are the games themselves. Can you play through the millennia of game history in under an hour, or will you be left staring at the two most dreaded words in history: GAME OVER?

Race for the Deed
Aunt Ruth was nobody’s favorite relative. Forgetful at best and downright cruel at worst, Ruth has finally passed on to the hereafter (thank goodness). All that’s left is her memorial service and the reading of her will – but Ruth has one more trick up her sleeve. Will she leave her estate to the heirs that show up to her service – or will she ensure that everybody joins her in the afterlife?

The Carnival Heist
Carnival season is in full swing, and the Vieux Carré Art Gallery is hosting a masquerade ball to showcase the new jewel of its collection – the King’s Crown, a beautiful (and expensive) work of art. Security may be tight, but the main gallery is off-limits to guests for one hour – giving you just enough time to pose as gallery staff and steal the King’s Crown for yourselves. Can you get into the gallery and back out with the priceless art, or will you be caught red-handed and spend Mardi Gras in the slammer?

The Sheriff’s Office
You and your friends had a blast last night sipping moonshine till the wee hours – maybe a little too much fun, as you’ve woken up in the Parish holding cells! The Sheriff has had his eye on you for a while, and you’ll be transferred to the maximum security lockup in an hour – just as soon as the Sheriff gets back from lunch. Can you take advantage of his absence to escape your cells, investigate his office, and bust out of the slammer, or are you doomed to spend the next few years doing hard time? The teams are separated into two holding cells and must work together to break into the Sheriff’s office.

Who are Ideal Clue Carré Teammates?
Competitive People
Gamers and athletes alike enjoy trying to beat the clock. Getting out in time is the ultimate victory, but the true glory lies in comparing your efforts against those who have previously completed the game.
Friends & Relatives
Another night at the movies, a restaurant or the bowling alley is fun, but Clue Carré offers a unique opportunity to bond over a common goal. It’s all the fun of game nights, with cooperation over competition.
Colleagues
Not your ordinary team building activity, Clue Carré is a great way to see your colleagues in a new light outside of the office. You will have to draw on everyone’s brainpower to solve these puzzles and make your escape!
NOLA Visitors
Take advantage of this fun diversion in between the historic tours and cocktail stops. Whether you are solo or traveling as part of a group, you can still come try your hand (and mind) at escaping from Clue Carré.
