Thank you for a spooktacular Mardi Gras 2024!

We just posted pics from our French Quarter shamble in our gallery! Check 'em out! Pretty sick, huh?

Interested in marching with us next year? We'd love to have you! All you gotta do is sign up on our mailing list and you'll receive news about krewe activities and events throughout the year; not just Mardi Gras, but meetups, movie nights, paper mache workshops, etc. All are welcome!

Remember, you don't gotta be an artist to join Cryptique, and you don't gotta make a paper mache mask; a lot of us just like doing so. Check out our krewe bylaws to see our costume guidelines; they are very laid-back.

Announcing Monster Mash + Mingle 2!

Greetings cryptids, creeps, and cadavers! The Cryptique Council is fiendishly delighted to announce our second annual Monster Mash & Mingle, a krewe meetup / meet and greet!

Details: Monster Mash & Mingle 2, August 10th, 7pm-??, The Rusty Nail, 1100 Constance St, New Orleans

This event is open to anyone and everyone! Krewe members, friends of krewe members, enemies of krewe members(?), and anyone who might be interested in meeting us and/or even joining us. The more the scarier.

There's no cover; guests can buy drinks at the bar, of course.

We're simply dying to see you!

Our first fundraiser: Cryptique Creeps!
