In 2016 Chris Grace & Haley Spitzfaden hosted a Valentines day Quest that included a campus-wide scavenger hunt, and ended in a Valentines day party celebrating magic, love and had plenty of spectial effects. Needless to say it was a smashing success.
What began as a passion project between two friends at their university evolved into an immersion luxury event company that brings magic to the world. They started with humble quests with 1, then 9, then 35, then 75, and now host fully immersive, joyous game experiences for hundreds of people. They have already brought hearts and imaginations together, and now they look forward to working with conscious value-driven corportations.
Lila (Sanskrit word for Play) Quests utilize Joseph Cambells Hero's Journey structure, but takes a unique approach to taking people on a transformational quest of self-empowerment, wonder and magic. Lila Quest is one part science disguised as magic, one part fantasy disguised as reality, and one part puzzles.
I was riveted to learn about Chris & Haley's challenges, struggles, existential questions and how creativity has changed their lives. They are an amazingly radical team on the edge of immersive adventures. I can't wait to see the evolution of Lila Quest!
