Problem
Youth today face excessive screen time, limited opportunities for creative expression, and a lack of culturally inclusive storytelling. This impacts their social skills, mental well-being, and appreciation for diverse narratives.
Solution
Quest Craft offers an interactive, screen-free gaming experience where youth can build social skills, explore creativity, and connect with diverse cultural stories. By simplifying D&D and centering Asian and other diverse folklore, it provides an engaging and inclusive platform for young people to learn and grow.
