Game for Adults and Children

Wizard Quest is part computer, part roleplaying interactive game. It is set in a 13,000 square foot labrynth called the Quadrasphers. Visitors are tasked with finding glimmers and releasing the captured wizards. Glimmers are collected by answering trivia questions put to you by dragons. The riddles are a mixture of simple, unusual, and hiden. There are also physical passageways and hidden traps and entrances. Havoc is your enemy and he will do whatever he can to ensure the wizards are not freed.

The quest takes 90 minutes to complete. You may not finish, but you are given a 90-minute limit. It is a walk up attraction, unless you are planning to visit with a group of larger than 15 people. It begins every 5 minutes, so you rarely have a lengthy wait or long line. This is not a haunted house, but younger children may be a little afraid of some of the darker areas in the quest.

The attraction has been compared to both a fun house and a scavenger hunt. Most people find it is a combination of both. Some visitors believe this game is strictly for hardcore gamers, but others find the challenge entertaining and fun. It is probably ideal for families with young teenagers and pre-teens. Some guests have complained that materials given to guests at the beginning of the quest are easily destroyed, especially with the movement required throughout your journey.

Fun house features are abundant like a rotating barrel and a mirror maze. A good portion of your time is spent sliding and climbing, so be sure to wear comfortable clothing to this attraction, and stay away if you are not up for some serious movement. The building is often busy, and can often be filled with people racing about from one section to another looking for answers to their riddles. There is a central location where questers will eventually meet called Dragon Junction.

The prize for completing the quest, besides bragging rights among your friends and family, is a discount in the Wizard Quest gift shop. When questers finish their journey they can visit the shop for apparel and souvenirs from their adventure. While this can be a great attraction for the family to enjoy, do not expect everything to go perfect. Certain animatronic characters may be out of order, you may accidentally lose your riddle sheet, or you may just become frustrated and give up. None the less, you may be in store for some laughs and fun with your family. This attraction is one of the newer ones in the Dells, so if you frequent the town, you may feel an obligation to tradition to try out every cheesy experience that comes down the pike. You may even be pleasantly surprised. Compared to many of the gimmick attractions in the Dells that are frequently considered downright rip-offs, this may be a great choice. Some hotels offer discount coupons for this and other Dells attractions. Check with the front desk to make sure you do not miss out on a valuable coupon before heading off to begin your quest.
