Learn to Play

No prior knowledge is necessary! Enchanted Okotoks is designed to be accessible to everyone, whether you're a seasoned fantasy gamer or completely new to the genre. The Enchanted Okotoks Page includes tutorials and guidance, and our volunteers at the event can help explain how things work. The experience is designed to be intuitive and fun for all participants. We have had players of all ages and experience levels participate at past events.

Quests are interactive challenges that guide you through the event area. They appear in the real world and in the game app, directing you to specific locations where you'll solve puzzles, interact with NPCs, find hidden objects, defeat monsters, or complete tasks. Quests range from simple to complex, and you can choose which ones to pursue based on your interests and skill level. Visit the Enchanted Okotoks Page for more detailed information.

While there is an overarching storyline to Enchanted Okotoks, you're free to experience the event at your own pace and in your own way. The main quest line provides structure for those who want to follow the central story, but you can also explore freely, complete side quests in any order, enjoy the entertainment, or browse the vendor market. Your experience is entirely customizable! This year we're trying something new - the main story will advance on the second day, with unique story content each day. Players who attend both days will experience the complete story, but each day offers its own distinct narrative experience.

Absolutely! In fact, we encourage group participation. The app allows you to form parties, which lets you see each other on the map and coordinate your quest activities. Some quests are specifically designed for team play, requiring cooperation and different skills to complete. However, solo play is also entirely viable, and you'll find plenty of content suited for individual adventurers.

As you complete quests, you'll earn virtual rewards such as experience points, character abilities, and digital items within the app. These enhance your character and unlock new gameplay options.

Raid boss battles are epic community events where multiple players join forces to defeat powerful fantasy creatures that appear at scheduled times throughout the weekend. These cooperative challenges require teamwork and strategy, with each player contributing based on their character's abilities. Successful raid teams earn special rewards and recognition on the event leaderboards.

As you complete quests and activities, your character gains experience points and levels up. Each level unlocks new abilities and gameplay mechanics. You can customize your character's development method based on your preferred play style, whether that's solving puzzles, engaging in battles, or exploring the story. Your character's progress is saved in the app between sessions.

Yes! Enchanted Okotoks accommodates various play styles. You can focus on puzzle-solving, exploration, collecting, battle, social interactions, or storytelling. The app helps you find activities that match your preferences, and our volunteers can recommend content based on your interests and the type of experience you're looking for.
