We run a deeply simplified and refined version of D&D tailored for team-building that anyone can learn in 5 minutes or less. The game, both in action and out of it, moves fast with minimal dice-rolling and focuses heavily on storytelling, relationship-building, and decision-making.

No need to be 'in' on D&D culture.

Role-playing has grown exponentially in popularity in recent years, especially among creatives and technical workers, while shaking off some undeserved stigma. These games are for EVERYONE––our system is intentionally designed to be instantly accessible to anyone, regardless of experience.

Siloed, one-time team-building events are proven to be less effective than regular, recurring events––especially if there is an element of continuity and depth.

Ongoing Quest become embedded in your company culture. It's a great way to attract like-minded talent, on-board them to the team dynamic, and keep them around long-term.

Plus, it often takes several sessions for team members to truly warm up, become fully authentic with one another, and start forming meaningful bonds through experiences of humor, emotion, and excitement.

Ask any tabletop role-playing group—they'll tell you they've become best friends over their months or years of playing, even if they started as strangers.

Role-playing is entirely different from video games (and far more effective for team-building) for several reasons:

1. Because role-playing games are so visceral and immersive, the memories made and stories told (especially with a collective such as a team or group of friends) are almost impossible to forget. Like a vivid, incredible dream that sticks around long after you wake up... but all of your coworkers remember it, too!

2. Role-playing games offer players complete agency––meaning that their personal values, viewpoints, and loyalties will be tested.

3. In role-playing, your team members will be interacting directly with each other.

People learn best through stories––and their ability to internalize their learning is directly related to their involvement in the story. Role-playing games maximize this opportunity.

We find that adventuring parties excel in groups of 3-5. Luckily, we have a roster of talented, engaging, and thoroughly trained Quest Guides to lead your teams. We can divide groups of up to ~50+ players into 5-person parties, playing simultaneously or at different times.

The coolest part? Even if your team is divided into small groups, they'll still quest in the same 'world' they build together—with a shared 'main quest' and the ability to impact each other's experiences and environments through their actions.

Plus, it gives them all something to talk about between sessions, chatting about memorable moments and strategizing their next moves.

QuestWorks is not your typical D&D experience.
‍
1. It’s designed from the ground up for team building, with proprietary methods and facilitation techniques engineered to drive professional and personal development, team cohesion, and creative inspiration.
‍
2. The storytelling is completely improvised and collaborative, requiring facilitation skills not always possessed by traditional Dungeon Masters. Our Quest Guides are trained in our specific methodology and run sessions in pursuit of distinct goals.
‍
3. Our facilitators possess expertise in workplace strengths, dynamics, and safety procedures to ensure inclusive, engaging, and effective gameplay. Plus, our system is far more beginner-friendly than D&D 5e, meaning you can easily bring new team members into the fold.
‍
4. Ideally, everyone on your team should be playing as the adventuring party, without any individual leading the session or being 'removed' from the team synergy. Additionally, external facilitators are able to spot and address problematic dynamics and opportunities for growth that may be missed by internal facilitators.

Our Quest Guides are team-building facilitators first, "Game Masters" second.
