Combining theory and practice, this updated new edition provides a complete overview of how to create deep and meaningful quests for games. It uses the Unity game engine in conjunction with Fungus and other free plugins to provide an accessible entry into quest design. The book begins with an introduction to the theory and history of quests in games, before covering four theoretical components of quests: their spaces, objects, actors, and challenges. Each chapter also includes a practical section, with accompanying exercises and suggestions for the use of specific technologies for four crucial aspects of quest design: • level design • quest item creation • NPC and dialogue construction • scripting This book will be of great interest to all game designers looking to create new, innovative quests in their games. It will also appeal to new media researchers, as well as humanities scholars in the fields of mythology and depth-psychology that want to bring computer-assisted instruction into their classroom in an innovative way. The companion website includes lecture and workshop slides, and can be accessed at: www.designingquests.com

The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

"Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a sweet story for kids that takes place in Seabreeze Cove, a small beach town. The stars of the story are Lily, Bailey's owner and best friend, and Bailey, a Golden Retriever who likes to explore. They fit together perfectly because they are always looking for fun and new things to do. Every day feels like a brand-new, exciting adventure for them. As they walk along the beach one sunny morning, Bailey's nose picks up a scent that is different from the smell of the water and the salty air. This scent starts their most recent trip. Because Bailey has such a great sense of smell, their trips have always been exciting, and this time is no different. They start their adventure when they find a treasure map partly buried in the sand. The map has beautiful pictures of a tall lighthouse, a delicate seashell, and palm trees. The map shows big experiences and hidden things that need to be found. The map in hand and a strong will to find the hidden treasure in Seabreeze Cove gave Lily and Bailey the courage to go. They visit other places on the map that their travels lead them to, like a grove of palm trees, a beautiful lighthouse, and a quiet bay full of seashells. They have setbacks and disappointments along the way, but their friendship and drive help them get through it. Finally, they find a treasure chest hidden in the sand of the faraway cove. Their finding backs up the idea that what makes them valuable is their friendship and the fun things they do together. They find many beautiful seashells and pearls inside the chest, along with a note that says, "The real treasure is the adventures you share and the love you hold." As Lily and Bailey go home with their new finds, they think about the day and decide that their best quality is their friendship. When the story ends, they are sound asleep, dreaming of new experiences. They are sure that their friendship will always be a treasure, no matter where their travels take them. "Bailey the Pup and the Buried Treasure" is a story about excitement, friendship, and the fun of finding something new. It teaches kids about the importance of working together, having lasting friendships, and the strong bond between a child and her dog. This is how the story starts: Bailey was a smart and brave puppy who used to live in Seabreeze Cove, a cute seaside town. As a Golden Retriever, Bailey was full of life and had a great sense of fun. He had so much energy and could make every day an exciting experience and his family loved him. Between the wide ocean and the rising hills is Seabreeze Cove, a lovely place to hide away. Along the gravel roads were cute homes with gardens full of bright flowers that looked like they were dancing in the light sea breeze. The quiet people who lived in Seabreeze Cove loved their peaceful life, and Bailey, the active and daring dog, made the neighborhood a lot of fun. Bailey's boundless energy comes from his owner, a sweet little girl named Lily. As soon as Lily and Bailey met, they fell in love and couldn't be apart. They became best friends and stories about them spread all over Seabreeze Cove. Bailey was a wonderful dog who loved life very much. Even the dullest days could be turned into amazing trips with his magic. Bailey's eyes would light up with joy every morning as the sun rose over the sparkling water, and he would kiss Lily awake, eager to start their new journey. Lily and Bailey were always happy and excited when they got to Seabreeze Cove because they saw each day as a new adventure to be found. Lily and Bailey would start their trips together as the sun rose, making the sky a world of pink and gold. The ritual brought them closer together because it promised them excitement and new things every day. The sandy beach of the cove was where they played. It was a big space where they could run and chase birds for as long as they wanted. Bailey would run on the sand, leaving paw prints that showed where they had been, and his happy barks would fill the air. Lily would laugh as she looked at her loyal friend. His golden coat would shine like a happy star in the warm sun. They loved rolling around in the soft, foamy sea foam because it tickled their skin and made them want to play. The smooth salt air carried by the sea breeze made people dream of faraway places and riches that haven't been found yet. Early explorers felt the same way when they went out into the unknown: full of excitement. Lily and Bailey were no different. Their travels took them to places they hadn't been before, where rocks and sand met suddenly. Lily and Bailey would look into these secret places with awe and amazement, saying they would find buried wonders. They gathered seashells of every color you can think of driftwood with stories about the sea, and their footprints to show that they had been in these remote places of the world. Lily was interested in Bailey for hours because he was always asking questions, and he seemed to have endless energy. He would follow his nose as he looked into the secrets of the beach, checking out every nook and cranny. Lily would follow him, and her heart would burst with gratitude for her brave puppy.
