Wizard Quest

An Amazing Adventure in Wisconsin Dells

© Kelly Whitt

Play an interactive game like no other. Use your physical might, your powers of observation, and your thinking skills to answer questions and rescue four hidden wizards.

Wizard Quest is located in downtown Wisconsin Dells at 105 Broadway. A one-of-a-kind experience takes you sliding, crawling, and climbing through the four realms of a wizard's world: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. A prior knowledge of wizardry is not required!

The attraction is open year round. Children four and under are free, and children aged 5 to 11 receive discounts. The attraction is best suited to those in grade school and up. Adults included!

Start at the ticket booth where you will pay your entry fee and get a "magic wand" which will be used on the scanning machines inside. The hosts will give you a brief rundown of the game and have you choose a team name for your group. Then you will enter the "portal" and see a video-tape description of how the game is played, before you are allowed entrance into the wizard world.

The game begins at the Air level. All the other levels are down in the basement. You will have a list of questions you need to answer in order to obtain "glimmers" (points) which are necessary in order to free a wizard. The Air level is the smallest of the four, and the Earth level is the largest. Simply read all the questions that pertain to the level you are on, then look around that level to find the answers. Some of it will require reading signs, others will require climbing into the correct position to see the answer you need. Not all signs will give you the answers you seek.

Once you believe you have a majority of the correct answers for a level, you must go to Dragon area at the center where there is a bank of computers. Scan your magic wand and begin answering the questions. Once you have enough points, you will be able to free a wizard. There is a wizard hidden in each level of the game.

Search every corner of every level. Climb towers, go down slides, find and enter secret passageways, watch out for tricks and don't get distracted by red herrings. In order to win, you must earn enough glimmers and locate all the wizards in order to to free them. All this must be done in under an hour and a half to get credit for successfully finishing the game. Winners take home bragging rights or even a discounted selection from the gift shop known as the Gnome Depot.

Good luck!
