City of the Dead: The New Orleans Cemetery Experience – New Orleans – 2018-20
For Mardi Gras icons Kern Studios, in partnership with New Orleans real estate developer MCC Group, Zeitgeist designed a French Quarter-based attraction celebrating the city’s historic (and haunted) cemeteries. The existing three-story facility was transformed into a spooky museum experience featuring a number of immersive theatrical productions —hosted by a ghost buried beneath the building and local Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. The attraction also featured escape rooms, a blacklight maze, a tomb slide, and a celebration of jazz funerals. City of the Dead: The New Orleans Cemetery Experience went on hold due to Covid-19 and is expected to be “resurrected” soon.
