The Concept:

Imagine turning your event into an open-world game where attendees become adventurers, interacting with "living statue" NPCs (Non-Player Characters) to complete quests, solve riddles, and unlock rewards. The NPC Quest blends immersive theater, scavenger hunts, and RPG mechanics to create a viral, participatory experience that:

- Boosts foot traffic to key areas of your event.

- Extends engagement beyond stages and vendors.

- Creates shareable moments (photos, social challenges, trading quests).

- Fun for all ages - casual or competitive, solo or team play.

How It Works:

1. Players Begin Their Adventure

   - They pick up a Quest Scroll (map + rules) from a central board, starting NPC, or QR code.

2. They Explore & Interact

   - NPCs (performers in costume) give quirky challenges such as:

     - Bring me a joke from the Jester NPC!

     - Solve this riddle to find the next clue.

     - Win a rock-paper-scissors duel to earn a treasure.

   - Collect physical tokens (coins, gems)

3. Multiple Play Styles

   - Story Mode A sequential narrative (e.g., Save the Festival from the Silent Statue Curse!.

   - Open-World Mode: Free exploration with mini-games (e.g., "Take photos with 5 NPCs").

   - Battle Mode:

Trivia or physical challenges against "boss" NPCs.

4. Rewards & Virality

   - Instant gratification: Small prizes (candy, stickers, "rare" tokens).

   - Grand finale: A "boss battle" or treasure hunt for VIP passes/festival merch.

   - **Social buzz**: A hashtag campaign #NPCQuest or #NPCAdventure

We’d love to partner with Events to design a NPC Quest experience, whether as a roaming activation, a dedicated zone, or a citywide meta-game. Let’s make some adventurers this Summer!
