Tall Tales in the Big Easy is a TADS 2 interactive fiction game and is © 2001 by Anonymous. It was a participant in the Speed-IF 2001 event.

In this small game, you're staying at the Marriott Hotel in New Orleans for the Bread Artists' Convention. Unfortunately, you can't sleep and you're suffering from Sculptor's Block. But there must be something you can do in New Orleans at 4 AM.

Thank You to my Patreon supporters

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
