Myrtle Beach, S.C. (PRWEB) October 22, 2006 -- MagiQuest, located at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is presenting “HallowFest,” a family-friendly Halloween celebration from Saturday, October 28 through Monday, October 30. Two hours of play will cost just $10 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday. On Halloween night, Tuesday, October 31, MagiQuest and other merchants at Broadway at the Beach will host “Trick or Treat” for families from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The first live-action, interactive adventure game of its kind in the world, MagiQuest creates a fantasy world that is perfect for the Halloween season. The HallowFest celebration provides an opportunity for Magi (players) to participate in the adventure and fun of the MagiQuest game, as well as join in a variety of family-friendly activities such as cookie decorating, pumpkin painting, Halloween story telling and more.

“Halloween is the perfect time of year for kids and parents to experience MagiQuest,” said Tim Ruedy, vice president of operations for Burroughs & Chapin Company’s sports, entertainment & recreation department. “When you enter the building, you are immediately transported to an enchanting realm of princesses, dragons and fairies. Because the game is interactive, it quickly stimulates the imagination and generates a sense of excitement. And the special activities we have planned will add to the magical atmosphere and fun. There’s no better place for parents and kids to get in the Halloween spirit.”

About MagiQuest

MagiQuest, at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, S.C., is the first MagiQuest in the world. MagiQuest is the first entertainment venue of New Kingdoms, LLC, a joint venture of Burroughs & Chapin Company, Inc. of Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Creative Kingdoms, LLC of R.I.

MagiQuest is a live-action adventure game that immerses players in a world of fantasy propelled by sophisticated technology. To participate in the game, each player receives a “magic wand” powered by patented technology that brings MagiQuest’s 20,000 square foot “enchanted” realm to life.

In one respect, MagiQuest parallels the architecture of a video game. Players select from a variety of Quests and Adventures that, once successfully completed, result in an accumulation of special powers. As these powers increase, players proceed to higher levels of the game where the level of difficulty also increases.

But MagiQuest is not confined to a computer screen. It places players inside of a three dimensional, interactive fantasy world where players must follow clues that lead deeper and deeper into a magical realm populated by a dazzling range of characters and creatures. It fosters a problem-solving, shared discovery process between family members of all ages.

MagiQuest was recently featured as the cover story in the October, 2006 issue of Funworld, the magazine of the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA). IAAPA has more than 8500 members in 82 countries.
