Secret Party Quest

Venetian Masquerade Edition

October 28, 2022 / developer / 0 comments

What is Secret Party Quest?

Well, it is a mystery that unfolds before your very eyes. A quest that leads you towards a magical themed party the likes of which you’ve never seen before.

And, this year as a part of Elemental AKL Papaya Stories invited you to join the Venetian Masquerade!

To find a way to the party our guests needed to go on a quest. Each player was handed the envelope with instructions related to one of the game and story characters –  Jester, Duchess, Casanova, Fortune Teller and Versaceville.

In an entertaining company of the Quest Host they all turned Auckland streets into imaginary Venetian canals, solved riddles together to find their way to the secret party. Guests really got into the adventurous mood as they got so into guessing the password for the secret room, where an extraordinary private session would take place.

Once at the party our guests were invited to enjoy the Venetian kaleidoscope of performances and surprises unfolding in front of their eyes.

Enjoying a glass of bubbly and magic potions created by our Fortune Teller, our guests were immersed into the arty space of Versaceville. Some of them got lost in the moment as they were taking part in the masterclass and creating a unique Venetian Mask to suit their look and character card.

After glamourising their fashion look, our guests were ready to find their way to the Red Room – a kingdom of passion ruled by Casanova and his appetite for having a good time

Each hour DJ Casanova played a themed music set. Throughout the night he played the seduction set followed by rebel,  jealousy and finishing on the upbeat tunes to celebrate life and love no matter what. It was a true a musical release and rollercoaster.

The Red Room is where the intricate story of the characters came alive.

Our guests were invited to take part in themed games and try fun challenges for their chance to win the access to the Secret Room.

The Red Room was full of lust, desire and passion, where eventually we all became witnesses of the love triangle between Casanova, Duchess and Jester.

As the night unfolded, it became crystal clear that no one even Casanova, could beat the synergy and chemistry that unfolded between Duchess and Jester. 

Watching that  magnetic rebellious duo up in the air was a spectacular way to finish off our Venetian Masquerade Secret Party!
