Find the perfect experience in a few steps
Start overBeignet sugar shower
Cafe du Monde beignets are smothered in powdered sugar. Order an order for the team and take a group photo where everyone takes a bite at the same time. Sugar all over the face is encouraged.
Big Easy kick-off
The hunt begins! Find a typical NOLA backdrop (a wrought-iron balcony, a streetcar, a colourful Creole cottage) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air. Everyone off the ground or it does not count.
Bourbon balcony pose
Bourbon Street is famous for its wrought-iron balconies. Find one with great character (or a wall of beads if it is post-Mardi Gras) and take a group photo posing as if you are about to throw a parade from the balcony above.
Cathedral plaza pose
St. Louis Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in continuous use in the United States. Take a group photo on Jackson Square with the three white spires of the cathedral clearly behind you.
Checkpoint: Bourbon Street
Navigate to Bourbon Street, the famous nightlife strip of the French Quarter. Check in once the music gets louder than your group chat.
Checkpoint: Cafe du Monde
Navigate to Cafe du Monde, the legendary 24-hour beignet stand at the French Market. Check in once the team can smell powdered sugar in the air.
Checkpoint: Jackson Square
Navigate to Jackson Square in the heart of the French Quarter. Check in once the team can see St. Louis Cathedral.
Group finale in New Orleans
The final challenge! Find a beautiful NOLA spot (Jackson Square, a balcony-lined street, the riverfront) and take an amazing group photo with the whole team in shot. A photo for the ages, well done everyone!
Hurricane cheers
A Hurricane is the iconic NOLA cocktail (or grab a Cafe du Monde iced coffee). Find a spot with French Quarter charm behind you and take a group toast photo. To the Big Easy!
Jazz on the street
Jazz was born in New Orleans. Find any street musician or busker (the French Quarter is full of them), drop a tip and take a group photo with the musician clearly visible. Bonus if everyone is dancing in the photo.
Mardi Gras bead pose
Mardi Gras leaves bead trails in many of NOLA's trees and shop windows year-round. Find any beads (in a tree, a shop, or buy a strand) and take a group photo where everyone is decorated like it is Fat Tuesday.
Mississippi waterfront shot
The Mississippi River curves around New Orleans. Walk to the waterfront (the Moonwalk is great) and take a group photo with the river and a passing barge or steamboat in the background.
NOLA local insight
Convince a real New Orleanian to share one favourite restaurant, hidden gem or local opinion. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and remember the tip.
Po' boy share
A po' boy is the New Orleans sandwich (shrimp, oyster or roast beef on French bread). Find one at any deli, share it with the team and take a photo of the first bite.
Second line parade
New Orleans is the home of the second line, where everyone dances behind a brass band. Form your own mini second line: hum or play any rhythm, dance one behind the other and capture it in a photo or short video.
Streetcar shot
New Orleans streetcars (the St. Charles line is the oldest continuously running streetcar in the world) rumble through the city. Find a streetcar (running or stopped) and take a group photo with it clearly in shot.
