Magiquest is an indoor role-playing adventure game for kids of all ages, located in the Broadway at the Beach center near the Myrtle Beach Pelicans baseball ground. Players choose a magic wand and learn to use its magical powers by becoming wizards and joining a clan to go on a quest, using hints, clues and magic to defeat the bad guys. Kids cast spells, challenge creatures like dragons and goblins, visit unicorns and save princesses. The experience includes music and special effects that create a magical world around the players. After the adventure is over, players can continue the game in an online version, competing in duels against other "Magi" and keeping their scores, wands and any powers earned. As of 2010, Magiquest is open from September to mid-May on Monday to Saturday between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m. Open hours from mid-May to August are every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
