Why People Love Our New Orleans Scavenger Hunts

Since 2001, we’ve been delighting countless corporate groups and other adventurers with our scavenger hunts. We're even recommended in publications such as USA Today, Travel + Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, and more.

"We booked Watson Adventures for a private scavenger hunt in NOLA, and it was super fun! The hunt was challenging enough that even the biggest trivia nerds were stumped a few times, and our host, Eric, was great. If you’re looking for a unique way to learn about the French Quarter, have a really good time, and learn some really cool facts about vampire brothers, I could not recommend Watson Adventures enough!”
