Hidden behind the facade of a former perfume shop on Basin Street lies a world that shouldn’t exist. Escape My Room is the flagship immersive production of Delaporte Ventures, a city-wide cultural landmark that has redefined New Orleans entertainment since 2015.

The experience is rooted in the deep, sprawling lore of the DeLaporte family—a lineage of riddle-lovers, scoundrels, and occult collectors. When the family’s legendary mansion was reportedly demolished to make way for the city’s modern hospital complex, its most curious rooms began to mysteriously reappear as immersive portals.

More than just a game, Escape My Room is a cinematic journey into a lost history. Every antique, every secret passage, and every cryptic note is part of a larger meta-narrative that invites guests to become part of the family legacy.
