Fun City Scavenger Hunt in New Orleans — Crazy Dash Walking Adventure

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

You start on a sun-warmed sidewalk in the French Quarter, phone in hand and a map-less plan to chase clues through a city that always seems to be in motion. The Crazy Dash app nudges you toward a mural, an ironwork balcony, a jazz note tucked behind a bakery window—each find earns points and a different angle on New Orleans’ layers of life.

Many streets in the French Quarter have curb cuts and relatively flat sidewalks, but some areas include cobblestones and narrower alleys—accessibility may vary by exact route.

Can I play at any time of day?

Games are flexible, but mornings and late afternoons are more comfortable to avoid midday heat and heavier pedestrian crowds.

Adventure tips

Charge your phone fullyThe game runs through an app and uses GPS—start with a full battery and bring a small power bank for two hours of play.

Wear comfortable shoesExpect up to a couple of miles of walking on mixed pavement and cobblestones—supportive shoes reduce fatigue.

Plan for sun and rainNew Orleans weather can shift quickly; light rain gear and sunscreen keep the game on schedule.

Secure valuablesKeep wallets and phones in front pockets or a zipped pack—busy tourist areas can attract pickpockets.

Smartphone with data: Required to run the Crazy Dash app, follow clues, and submit challenges.
Comfortable walking shoes: Cobbled streets and sidewalks reward supportive, broken-in footwear.
