How it works

Treasure of the NOLA Madre
How it works

There is a treasure located in the French Quarter. Find the 29 locations described in these clues and locate a letter on a plaque or sign at each location.

With each clue, there will be a description of the marker you are looking for and a description of where to find the letter on the marker. For example, "Commemorates the Battle of Liberty Place. (lakeside date, L1-L16)", indicates the lakeside portion of the object, find the date, locate the letter on line 1, letter 16 from the left. That letter is your clue.

The 29 letters will spell out the final riddle that reveals the location of the treasure. (Well, not actually the treasure, but instructions on how to collect it).

Like Wheel of Fortune, you won’t have to solve every clue to find the treasure. You might decipher the final clue without all the letters.
It is a pastime, not a race. Hopefully, it will take a couple of months for someone to find the treasure, so have a beer and take your time and have some fun discovering the Quarter.
Except for the possibility of some human clues, none of the clues will be moveable, so none of them will disappear during the hunt.
You will not have to do any digging or moving of objects to find a clue or to reveal the treasure.
All of the clues are located within a couple of blocks of the quarter (all on the river side of Rampart).
