What is the Craft & Quest Adventure?
The Craft & Quest Adventure is a special "in person" fantasy themed crafty adventure we run for various groups and parties. The adventure is a blend of crafting and storytelling, and is led by an adult storyteller, in character. The group can usually be any size and we adjust the adventure activities accordingly. The MINIMUM number of adventurers for a quorum is 12, however. The age range for our intrepid adventurers is typically 6 - 12 years old.  We have run adventures with group sizing ranging from a dozen kids to 100 kids!

What are the Craft & Quest options?
We have a few established Craft & Quest adventure themes, but generally speaking, the Craft & Quest starts with a quick craft (mask decoration) and then the adventurers meet in the "guildhall" to begin the quest.  The adventure is an interactive story where the kids help one of the NPCs break a magic spell to unlock a vast treasure. The treasure can be whatever meets your theme. Options include: Sidewalk chalk dragon eggs, fairy eggs, gemstone eggs, or perhaps a big craft such as painting ceramic dragons. It gets MESSY!! PLEASE NOTE: We understand that while the fantasy genre is loaded with battles and monsters, we try not to use scary themes and ALWAYS encourage young adventurers to find peaceful solutions to encounters with bad guys. Please also be reassured that our crafting activities DO NOT include any sort of traditional medieval weapons. Shields and wands, on occasion, weapons no. We are flexible and can often tailor a quest to more specific desires also so just ask!  Kids Arcanum also does very basic home rule D&D adventures for older kids and libraries.

How long does the Craft & Quest take?
We allot at least an hour for the Craft & Quest, but very often the adventures hover around an hour and a half and that's just fine with us! Setup may take another half an hour or so as well. For larger events, we have often run crafting tables over the course of a whole day.

How much does the Craft & Quest cost?
We like to think we are affordable, and we are flexible on pricing. Since most of our adventures are custom built, we can work with you to make sure kids can get the EPIC adventure they need! That being said, the minimum charge is $300 per session. This pricing example reflects up to 15 kids and includes our time, crafting supplies, and other special items, depending on the nature of the activities.  We are based out of Portland, Maine so this may increase depending on distance to your location, how "fancy" you want the event to be, and whether or not more than 15 kids are being planned for.  We WANT kids to have these experiences, so we are happy to fit your budget. FRIENDS, we want to make this happen for everyone, and our MISSION is to get kids vibing on the fantasy genre. We are flexible and open to fun ideas so please shoot us an email and let's GET THIS ADVENTURE STARTED!
