Magiquest is basically a Harry Potter style amusement area located in Myrtle Beach that is mainly geared towards kids. It's a pretty huge area - 20,000 square feet. The theme is based on dragons, wizards, ogres, that sort of thing. You buy a wand (a little electronic device that you can use to interact with stuff in the park). The wand costs about $10, and you get to keep it. It looks like an actual magic wand, and they have a variety of different kinds. You can also buy various other accessories, but the wand is the only thing you really need to play. You get assigned various quests to complete, and the wand will store your progress if you want to play awhile and then come back later. It costs about $8 an hour to actually play.
Once you get quests, you complete them by going around the kingdom and finding out what you're supposed to do. There are castles, dungeons, a Stonehenge-like thing, and all kinds of stuff to explore. When you complete a quest, you get a "rune" which gives your wand more "powers" (allowing it to do more stuff). You can also zap various things (treasure chests, monster lairs, etc.) and it will give you gold, which you can use to buy various wizard-themed toys and junk at the gift shop. If you're one of the older folks, think Skeeball tickets - the wand stores how much gold you've earned on it, and you can trade it in electronically.
You can check out the Magiquest web site here - it's got some videos and pictures that will give you an idea of what to expect. You might also be interested in a guide to getting gold in Magiquest written by a kid who played it here.
Magiquest is located at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach. The phone number is 1-866-353-6244, and the hours are from 10 am to 9 pm.
