MagiQuest Online
MagiQuest is an interactive attraction in the form of a live action role-playing game where players take the role of magic users. The game takes place in dedicated MagiQuest locations. Players, known as Magi, use an infrared (IR) emitting wand to interact with objects. These objects are scattered throughout MagiQuest locations.
