Shadowquest to debut at Great Wolf Lodge

September 4, 2013 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

 

lumina-image

For the past several years, guests at Great Wolf Lodge have  become Master Magi as they played the unique, live action, interactive gaming adventure, MagiQuest®. Now, a new experience is coming to the family entertainment resorts that takes players on quests through new worlds and offers fun for everyone with the wave of a wand. ShadowQuest, the latest game from Creative Kingdoms, LLC, creators of MagiQuest, challenges players to embark on a journey to save the light.
ShadowQuest will debut at Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells, WI on August 23, followed by installation at six additional Great Wolf Lodges this fall. The resorts in Mason, Ohio; Grapevine, Texas; Grand Mound, Washington; Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania; Williamsburg, Virginia; and Concord, North Carolina will soon challenge players of all ages.

shadowQuestShadowQuest is a completely new adventure and game. Utilizing the same wand technology of its sister game, MagiQuest™, ShadowQuest takes players through the resort in search of crystals, artifacts and magical places. They can also summon Lumina, leader of the light pixies to help choose which quest to embark on.
ShadowQuest features ten quests, a “Vanishing Light” adventure and for those who successfully accomplish each step, a final battle against the evil yeti Malaki. The game, with its fantastical theme and rich, digital environments will blend into the Great Wolf Lodge resorts alongside the MagiQuest stations. Players can start and stop the game at any time; each wand stores every feat and battle
played for easy pick up on a future visit. The same wand also stores players’ MagiQuest games and accomplishments.

“We are so excited to debut ShadowQuest at our resorts,” said Kim Schaefer, chief executive officer, Great Wolf Resorts, “We have wanted to bring a new experience to families who already love MagiQuest, as well as add something to engage kids who haven’t yet played the game. With the wave of a wand—literally—the entire family can take an adventure together.”
Players will select from a variety of quests and adventures that result in a collection of special powers. As these powers increase, players proceed to higher levels of the game where the level of difficulty also increases. ShadowQuest is not confined to a computer screen. It places players inside a three-dimensional, interactive fantasy world where they must follow clues that lead deeper into a mythical realm populated by an array of characters and creatures.

Time To Save Some Money at Great Wolf Lodge!

April 17, 2013 by dadofdivas 3 Comments

 

GreatWolf

 

As some of you know I was selected to be a representative for the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan this year and I am very excited about it as it is a wonderful place to take the family and my whole family has loved the experience in the past, and I know we will in the future as well. I just found out recently that Groupon is having a great deal right now, where you can save some money on a trip to your local Great Wolf Lodge. For this Groupon, there are designated prices ranging from $219 to $499 depending upon the size of your group and the days you’d like to stay at the resort. Get your Groupon here! This is only available from 04/16 Through 05/23 so you have to book soon.

There are so many things your kids will enjoy both in and out of the waterpark. I highly encourage you to try out Great Wolf for the first time or come back for a return visit!
