ABOUT

I am a part-time resident of New Orleans and have gotten to know the city fairly well. I frequently show friends around the city and volunteer to staff information booths for festivals.

For several years I have hosted a Mardi Gras party, and part of the entertainment is a trivia contest. I have spent hours each year adding questions, updating and tweaking it. In doing some research, I found that were no New Orleans trivia games online or in stores that I could see…so I have organized it and gotten it printed onto card form. This in addition to the questions about music, food, drinks, culture, history, landmarks and more, a choice wild card draw could mean winning or losing the game in an instant. Play as individuals or in teams – teen through adult. This project has been really fun and I think the game is too.

PURCHASE

Thanks to everyone who helped make the Kickstarter campaign successful. The first printing is available now through:

A Tisket a Tasket
