About this Experience
What you'll do:
You and your crew take on a New Orleans scavenger hunt that turns the city into your playground, with points on the line and local culture woven into every challenge.
Explore historic neighborhoods - Navigate the streets of New Orleans on foot, uncovering hidden pockets and local landmarks you would have walked right past.
Solve creative challenges - Work through a mix of puzzles, riddles, and outside-the-box tasks that test your group's creativity and quick thinking.
Interact with locals - Complete challenges that get you talking to real people in the city, making the experience feel less like a game and more like a genuine NOLA adventure.
Race the leaderboard - Compete against other teams in real time, with every point earned pushing your crew higher up the rankings.
Soak up NOLA culture - From architecture to history to neighborhood flavor, the challenges are designed to teach you the city while keeping things fun and competitive.
This is the kind of group activity that still gets talked about weeks later. Whether you are here for a bachelorette, a birthday, or just a great excuse to explore, Alley Kat turns the streets of New Orleans into the best afternoon you did not plan.
Why we love it for your party:
No tour bus required - You experience the real New Orleans at your own pace, on foot, with your crew.
Works for any group size - Designed for parties of 1 to 200, so no one gets left off the invite list.
Easy to drink alongside - The route takes you through areas where grabbing a Hurricane or mimosa along the way is completely on the table.
Built-in bonding - Problem-solving together under pressure has a way of making people laugh, argue, and high-five more than a standard night out.
Competitive without being intense - There is a leaderboard, but the real win is how much ground your group covers and how much of the city you actually see.
