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.

Haunted Swamp Room
The Manchac Swamp is haunted by the ghost of Julie White, a Voodoo priestess.

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? (A few game specific notes: Recommended for parties of 4 or more, Cannot be played with less than two players, any groups of children 14 or under will require TWO supervising adults to play)

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. **Please note that this game is located upstairs**
