The theater at New
Toulouse is deceiving. It is empty however the poster on the wall says that
“Death Picks a Winner… is Now Playing “and it is starring ME! The darkened
screen invited me to click and when I did I received a hud to wear that will
take me through clues to solve a mystery and where to go to find clues.
Evidently the prospective campaigning Mayor has been murdered and I am elected
to find out who did it! There is
also a missing news boy in the mix. My first visit was to a pub so I ordered a
rum and chatted up the barmaid who was very cooperative and pointed me on to the
next locale to find another clue.
I have been here in this quaint town I
recall for a parade on Mardi Gras. It is a lovely site with charming buildings
and appointments. I walked around a bit to renew my memories of the shops and
homes before continuing on my investigation. I stopped in the little church and
at the impressive Town Hall square to admire the fountain. “New Toulouse Bayou
is a private estate community based on the American city of New Orleans,
Louisiana, and its surrounding environs in the first 25 years of the 20th
century. (1900-1925)” is the description of the
region.
My next stop was at the campaign
headquarters which was in disarray with the loss of their candidate but a glum
campaign worker sent me on my way. I picked up some campaign materials as a
souvenir. I found a lost sock and followed the boy who had dropped it from his
basket on the way to the laundry. At the laundry I helped out a bit while I
searched for the next clue. The story is getting more involved. You will have to
follow it all for yourselves.
My sixth clue was
hidden in voodoo shop near the cemetery that was so interesting and informative
I spent a long time exploring that building which is chuck full of information
and history about the religion of voodoo and Gullah. I almost forgot I was there to find a
further clue to the mystery. That one was not easy!
As I moved along
on search of the clues I picked up so many little gifts. I had tea, and coffee,
delicious jambalaya, fruit, great Cuban cigar, Bacardi and more. I even acquired a circus tent and some
buildings from the town.! I sat down for a few minutes with Liza Veliz, and had
a beer with her as she filled me in on the region. I learned that the mastermind
behind the mysteries here is Nikita Weyman and the scripter for all is Mosley
Sperber. They were assisted by a myriad of others that you will learn about at
the end of your quest. I am still on my mission and have a few
more clues to track down before I solve this mystery. The hud records all the
completed clues and earns you prizes at the end where you will find out the
secrets of the Death. I highly
recommend this fun. The mystery clues probably won’t take you as long as they
did me but I was distracted by all the fascinating décor and stopped to check
out everything I saw. If you would like to find out more about New Toulouse you
can visit this website http://www.newtoulouse.org/ I look forward to more
mysteries!
Come on over and ramble through the clues
with your honey, friend, or alone. I would say this is a winner! You have until
May 30. http://maps.secondlife.com/
