In SCVNGR HNT: Mardi Gras Murder Mystery, a cryptic invitation pulls tech visionary Aidan Cross into a high-stakes scavenger hunt through the dark alleys and gilded secrets of New Orleans. Drawn to the city's infamous St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 by a sigil linked to his father’s disappearance, Aidan finds himself among twelve fierce competitors. But when they are framed for the murder of a Mardi Gras queen, the game turns deadly, placing them in the crosshairs of a shadowy organization known only as
The Shroud.

Tasked with retrieving 33 artifacts—each embedded with cryptographic secrets tracing the influence of society’s architects from the dawn of history—Aidan and his allies uncover a conspiracy entangled with Jesus’s descendants, ancient esotericism, and the hidden forces shaping civilization. As they navigate iconic landmarks—from Bourbon Street to the crypts beneath the city—the illusion of reality unravels, revealing a world where everything is a stage, and unseen hands pull the strings.

With time running out and betrayal lurking at every turn, the hunt becomes a battle for survival and truth. As The Shroud wields quantum supercomputers and encrypted codes to maintain control, Aidan must decide whether to break the cycle or become another pawn in a game that has been played since the beginning of time.

But New Orleans is just the beginning. As whispers of SCVNGR HNT emerge in other cities across the globe, each site hiding its own deadly puzzle, Aidan realizes that this hunt is far bigger than he imagined. The next stage is already set, and the clock is ticking.

Book One in a gripping series, SCVNGR HNT peels back the veil on power, control, and the hidden forces shaping history. In a world where reality is an illusion and those who seek the truth rarely survive, the only way to win is to keep playing.
