Questing in the time of Covid

The viral forecast is looking cloudy, and we may all be spending much of this spring cooped up at home. We’re already getting restless, so we’re devising safe ways to bring adventure to you! We’ve got one in development that will be available this Sunday:

A quest that will have you touring the city without leaving your car! In the classic DaVinci-style Ravenchase Adventure, you’ll explore Richmond’s rich collection of street art as you untangle the mystery we’ve crafted. No supplies needed— just read off of your phone or print from your computer. ($25)

We’re brainstorming different ways to bring adventure to you, and would love to hear what you think of our other ideas below!

  • Ravenchase Adventures in your home: A mystery experience that is story-light and puzzle-heavy with the classic Ravenchase flair. Instructions for setup will be included, so even the host will be able to play without the advantage of a peek behind the curtain.

    • Option to upgrade for additional prop pieces like chests and locks, along with some extra tricks and gimmicks to make your game last even longer

  • For the kiddos: a kid-friendly experience brought to you: story-light and puzzle-heavy, we’ll drop off several locks and props with instructions on how to set it up about your house, hints you can give them if asked, and of course the answers so you can skip the solving and use their adventure time for a well-earned nap.

We love being a source of curiosity and engagement, and we also don’t want to sit on the sidelines during this outbreak.

A portion of all proceeds will go to relief efforts for the outbreak (charity TBD, suggestions welcome!), and we hope to put any additional funds towards a future project that will package Ravenchase for folks in hospice care who could use a little adventure even if they can’t necessarily chase it for themselves.

We’re a team-building, museum-hopping, public-spaces kind of company, so we’d love to hear your thoughts as we prepare for a shift in the way people seek entertainment in the coming months.
