    Before the Myrtle Beach location shut down, it was a must-visit every time my family went (I still have my wand). In my late 20's I would get obnoxiously into it, complete with wand flourishes, olde English speak, and a boisterous medieval stride throughout the MagiQuest for the sole purpose of embarrassing my moody teenage brother.
    Also, 'Midnight Sizemore' is now an official NPC in my DnD campaign.

    So story about when I worked at GWL-
    I worked at the front desk for 3 years. Got ‘pack member of the month’ a few times. But the MagiQuest event was always around. So we had two otters above the desk that gave tips and also said ‘pretty nifty wand work there’ in a southern accent. Well when they upgraded MQ about 2 years into my job there, the otters lost speaking code somewhere. However I could mimic them. So for two whole shifts I got paid to sit in a room beside them with a microphone and read the script. Good times.

    I remember going to a MagiQuest location in December 2009 when my parents and I visited Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for winter vacation. I remember that it had the elements of a medieval role-playing game. You would use the wand to open chests for gold and gain experience points as you progress through each of the rooms. I still have my MagiQuest wand from back then.

    I found the Pigeon Forge location like 5 years ago and it was my first one. It was AMAZING. My spouse and I both loved it. We bought wands, kept our books and planned on going to one of the ones at Great Wolf Lodge after finding out about them. Unfortunately, we were ruined by playing at Pigeon Forge first because the Great Wolf locations are pathetic in comparison. They are just glorified hallways, whereas the Pigeon Forge one is like a full experience with hidden passages and cool props and settings.

    Fun fact about this particular Great Wolf Lodge location with living within the vicinity of it in MN: this wasn’t always a Great Wolf Lodge as before it it was actually known as Waterpark of America, name is such because of it being directly across from Mall of America there in Bloomington
    I haven’t been back ever since it was re-branded as a Great Wolf Lodge, but I have been to the one in Wisconsin Dells (which is the one that started at all before they eventually became a chain) and also did MagiQuest there when I was there back in early 2020 before the pandemic hit. Like the only remaining free-standing location in Pigeon Forge, TN, the Wisconsin Dells location also has the legacy version of the game. Still have my wand that I got when I was there, but have never been back to there or another location ever since. Hopefully I can make it to either Great Wolf Lodge in Bloomington, or even the only remaining free-standing location in Pigeon Forge, TN before they potentially close down someday (and from what I heard from another commenter here, it sounds like their future is very bleak).

The PF location is awesome; there are doors that open with the wand and even a key that you could buy to unlock the door to the Goblin King (not sold anymore sadly). Unfortunately, that location only has MagiQuest Legacy (original 2005 version + ice dragon expansion). After GWL bought Creative Kingdoms, the GWLs got updated versions of MagiQuest with additional content, but the standalone was left behind. Regardless, the PF location is a more immersive, nostalgic experience that's worth traveling for, Chad!

    I first played magiquest when I was around 7, and fell in love so fast. Even at 21 I will occasionally drive out with a friend to the nearby Great Wolf to play for a couple hours.
    The best memory I have with the game was when I was with my family for a weekend, and while everyone was swimming in the waterpark I was playing Magiquest, never going to the park cause I was so focused on beating the bosses.

    I just discovered Magiquest 14 days ago during a group trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in Lagrange GA. In those two weeks I've now played at 7 different locations on a midwest road trip. I've fallen hard for this game. I'm sad I've only now just discovered it, but happy that it's never too late!

    I was one of the leads at the Cincinnati GWL for a few years a while ago, after doing the Pigeon Forge standalone location. They have 3 different storylines to play, so there's a bunch of quests to go on. Definitely an immersive experience with lots of replay value. I used to do the bosses all the time. I'd love to check out some of the other ones some time....

      There was a timed mission in the compass quests that I had to repeat three times before I beat it. You had to gather the different colored crystals around the hotel in a certain order, but the time limit was so short it made it so you had to remember where all the crystals were and what best route to take to get them in time

    I never got to play this at my many visits to the Williamsburg location, but as a kid I would always stop to see what the other kids were up to in MagiQuest. Always wanted one of the wands so I could play, but it wasn't what my parents were paying for. Thank you guys for this nostalgia trip of a game I never really got to play, but always saw glimpses of!

    YES Im from Cincinnati and i cant believe i've missed this video this is one of my most favorite and loving childhood memories I am so happy you guy got to play it and form what i can tell each location is different and that is just the magic of the game every location you get a new experience. The one at Cincinnati is a lot more centralized so there is a lot less of being in peoples way and its great. Also the one in Tennessee I went to and it was a very cool experience I felt very immersed (sadly I wasn't there for long). Sorry for the longer comment I just had to gush about one of my favorite irl games just so glad to see one of my favorite youtubers cover this amazing game I'm hoping for more great content bro keep it up.

    I only ever played this at one of the GWLs in Texas, but I will always remember those days where my parents would just let me loose and do MagiQuest stuff all day. I would grind the same three quests over and over, the whole time chewing ice from the hotel ice machines. I specifically remember how hilarious it was that there were quest required items in the completely unthemed, industrial stairways that you would find in like a parking garage.

    I went to a different one years later, they had the whole thing gated off to one big room. it probably made more sense for them to do that, but it made the whole thing way less fun

    i remember playing magiquest one time on a trip to great wolf lodge, back when I was probably 10-12 or so. i couldn't tell you what location we were at, but my scout troop was there for a few days as our big trip we took yearly after our cookie sales and we all begged our parents for wands. the set up there though was WAY more barebones than what's even seen here. there was like a "hub" area that was some trees with screens in them, and you talked to some pre-recorded wizard man to get all your quests. then all the objects were kind of just scattered around the lodge haphazardly. but at the time it felt like it was THE coolest thing ever and we all got really into it while we were there. we spent hours running around in our pajamas trying to finish questlines. i think part of the magic of it was not only the idea we were ALLOWED to run around a hotel on purpose, but that we were able to kind of make up our own fun along the way.
    i have no idea where I finished at. i know I had the most basic wand (because they were so expensive jesus christ), and my brother had one too. i think we kept ours for a few years but they got lost after we moved a few times, or we got rid of them when we figured we'd never go back. i genuinely would have a blast just going on vacation by myself to a lodge for a few days to play magiquest by myself, even in that barebones version i played.
    also, in fairness, i registered my wand under "pikachu", so midnight is at least thematically correct.
    EDIT: totally forgot about this, but there was one quest I remember specifically that drove us crazy for a few hours trying to finish it, because it was timed, and you had to hit specific items around the hotel before the timer ran out, and since there were a bunch of floors to our particular locations, we quite literally just had to bolt for the elevators and hope we could make it in enough time. i THINK we did beat it, but it's possible that's where our time ended.

I have kept my two wands, and have slain the dragon (I was also 16 at the time, surrounded by kids lol). I am also hoping to work at a GWL location someday!

    I grew up thirty minutes from an original full-scale location, and it was cool. It was always our go-to when it was raining or cold and we wanted to do something. I even had a friend who had his birthday party there. They used to have a whole set of second level quests, and I got to the final two quests before mine closed. I even learned some sign language, Braille, and Morse code from the higher level quests- the communication one specifically.

They knew I was into any and everything fantasy, so all, and I literally mean ALL, of them said "MISS LAURA YOU HAVE TO PLAY MAGIQUEST! IT IS SO AWESOME!" Unfortunately, I was always too poor to go to any of the Great Wolf Lodge locations, so I never got a chance. It is nice living vicariously through you guys, though.

    Some really obscure magiquest lore is that there is an official PC game. Completing what was on the disc was supposed to unlock the silver dragon on the next visit, with subsequent episodes doing the same. There was only that first episode made, and the silver dragon was changed to be accessible through other means.

    I worked at a GWL as a MagiQuest employee. Honestly its a really fun game even if you think youre too old its a great time. I gotta say tho at my location at least stuff broke constantly. We even got trained on how to fix some of the inner mechanics of the game because of how frequently it broke. Usually a computer reset worked but on occasion we had to go and hard reset whatever was having an issue.
    Working Magiquest is fun you had to be in character. We arent allowed to just give out answers to the quests and man sometimes adults would get like actually mad and its like bro its policy I cant tell you dude. We had to make up in character hints and stuff and that was fun. The way kids just would think you were the COOLEST ever when you fixed something that broke always made me happy. One kid told me I was his hero when I fixed a broken game element.

    Played it only once at a FunPlex in my home state. It was confined to a little part of the indoor complex, so you werent interrupting other guests while they were walking, but sometimes you did bump into other kids playing. I played it back in like 2011? So it was out for a while, and had different quests to do. At this location you were able to get rented wands but were not able to take them home lol. I did not finish my quest sadly, but I remember having fun being able to run around with a magic wand lol. Sadly, this MagiQuest got shut down in 2016, so I will never be able to finish my quest like Midnight TTOTT.
