Magiquest

MagiQuest is a live action role-playing game in which players take the role of magic users. The game takes place in dedicated MagiQuest locations. Players, called Magi in the game, use an infrared (IR) emitting wand to interact with objects. These objects are scattered throughout the MagiQuest locations. By waving and pointing the wand at an object, referred to as "casting" in game, a player "activates" an object. For example, pointing a wand at a treasure chest will cause the chest to open, awarding an amount of gold to a player's account. At some locations, there are optional items available for purchase, unlocking secret areas or allowing a player to go on additional quests. Completing these additional quests or exploring these secret areas allow for even more in-game items, adding additional content to the game.

The first MagiQuest opened in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at noon on June 15, 2005. The opening celebration included live appearances by actors featured in the quests. Additional MagiQuest locations have subsequently opened in East Hanover, New Jersey and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Great Wolf Resorts made an agreement with Creative Kingdoms in 2008 to install the game at all current Great Wolf Lodge resorts. On July 31, 2011, MagiQuest opened in Fun City at the Palisades Mall in West Nyack, New York. In Japan, there is a MagiQuest kingdom near Tokyo Dome. In December 2011 - January 2012, the first Canadian MagiQuest opened in a Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, ON.

On September 7, 2015, the Myrtle Beach MagiQuest closed permanently. Other locations in West Nyack, New York and East Hanover, New Jersey were also permanently closed.

The Myrtle Beach location was owned by Creative Kingdoms (owner and developer of MagiQuest's technology and associated patents). When the Myrtle Beach location closed it was owned by Great Wolf Industries, who bought out Creative Kingdoms in 2010 to make it cheaper to install MagiQuest in their hotels. Other locations are franchised besides the ones in Great Wolf Lodges.
