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.
ShadowQuest 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.

As I’ve mentioned in a few other posts, about two weeks ago my wife and I went to Chicago for a few days to celebrate our 14th anniversary.

I took my car on the ferry, but not all people do, there are some that simply walk on and walk off and the overall cost is less for these individuals. The process for driving into the ferry itself was easy and the individuals working on the ferry were pleasant to work with. Once we were on the ship, we were asked to enter the main cabin to find a seat (there was a premier class cabin but I was not in this). When I spoke to the crew about this they let me know that people in Premier Class were given free beverages, free headsets to watch the movie (In the main cabin these headsets cost $4.00/headset) and more comfortable seating.

During the voyage, we did have quite a bit of pitching and rolling on the first leg of our trip but I was wearing a Seaband on each arm for the trip, and because of this I did not have any issues of motion sickness. I will suggest though that you should consider motion sickness remedies if you are considering passage on the Lake Express Car Ferry, as some days you will need this while others will be calm and serene and nothing is really needed to help your motion ailments.
The trip otherwise was pretty uneventful, and we made it to Milwaukee and back. I would recommend this as a great alternative for those traveling between Michigan and Wisconsin and vice-versa. It does take a bit of time and money, but the lack of stress in driving is worth the effort and you can let someone else do the driving at least for part of your trip.
