What to Expect

In Loony Quest, players draw lines in real-time on transparent sheets to hit targets and avoid obstacles. Inspired by video games, you explore seven imaginative worlds, encounter quirky monsters and bosses, and collect experience points. The game blends Line Drawing and Layering mechanics for fast-paced, interactive fun as you try to replicate challenging level outlines.

Who Is This Game For?

Loony Quest is designed for families and groups who enjoy lively dexterity games. With a playtime of about 30 minutes, it suits quick sessions. The rules are simple, making it accessible for children from 8 years and beginners. It is a casual family game rather than a complex strategy game.

How It Works

Each player uses a transparent sheet to trace the outlines of level cards using a marker, aiming to hit targets while avoiding obstacles. Once time is up, sheets are placed over the level card to score points. The Layering mechanic allows multiple players to draw simultaneously and interact. The core mechanics, Line Drawing and Layering, create a dynamic real-time gameplay experience.

Part of the Loony Quest family, it innovates with Dry Erase markers and real-time interaction. It builds on the concept of Doodle Quest with a unique mix of dexterity and strategy.
