Overview

Welcome to Quest! Quest events are interactive fantasy role-playing events that run regularly in Connecticut, usually on the Wesleyan University campus or the 4-H campground in Pomfret, CT. Quest runs about six evening-long "tavern night" events throughout the year, plus weekend-long events twice a year, and occasionally some day-long events as well.

Quest has no membership fee, and you may attend as many or as few games as you like. You pay only for those events that you wish to attend — and your game fee includes food, equipment rentals, plus a free Player Handbook at your first game!

Interactive Theatre / Live Gaming

Quest is very different from traditional theatre; there is no separation between actors and audience. Everyone assumes the role of a character and participates in the story line. The game staff knows the story line, but it's up to you, the players, to move the action forward.

Similarly, Quest's live-action events are different from "table-top" role-playing games. Rather than describe what your character does, you act it out — complete with setting, props and costume. In essence, you have become your character.
