Fantastic Adventures is one of our fantasy adventure youth LARP programs. Like Adventure Quest, in Fantastic Adventures each participant plays as their own unique character, joining up to five other Adventurers and one Guide (counselor), who leads the group on an epic quest over the course of the program. Every week offers its own one-of-a-kind adventure, such as rescuing a royal, searching for pirate’s treasure, or defending a city under siege. Armed with creativity, teamwork, and foam boffer weapons, Adventurers will face dynamic duels, silly social situations, perplexing puzzles and fickle fitness challenges. The Encounters are not only super fun, they also provide opportunities for personal growth and empowerment. Developing skills such as problem solving, decision making, and ethical reasoning through play and storytelling are part of our Experiential Education Outcomes. Our goal is that every child ends camp with a tale to tell and greater confidence in themselves.

In Fantastic Adventures, Adventurers explore Vehrea, a world of magic, chaos, and nature dotted with a few determined bastion cities. This setting is alive and dynamic, designed to be shaped and changed by Adventurers, so that a person’s impact can be felt even when they are not at camp. In Fantastic Adventures, participants make characters and play using the Wilds Within game system. This new game features easy-to-learn rules and enables a variety of play styles. Adventurers can customize their skills to do what is most fun and most interesting to them, whether that’s battling foes, sneaking around, making friends, solving mysteries, commanding the elements, or a bit of everything. The game is designed to support teamwork and player agency; an Adventurer’s choices are just as important as the power they wield.

We recommend Fantastic Adventures for first-time players and established players who want to embark on the next chapter of their story. 

For those experienced in Adventure Quest who are interested in trying Fantastic Adventures, we have created a page about the transition, which includes a general transition announcement and the answers to many parent questions and player questions.

We are incredibly excited to welcome you to Vehrea! Click here to see a map of Vehrea.
