Children love acting out stories since it gives them the freedom to take on new roles and experiment with ideas and emotions. Pretend play is not only fun, it is also important for children's cognitive and social development. Once kids get started, they tend to take their make-believe play in all kinds of unexpected, creative, and interesting places. However, sometimes they have a little trouble getting started with new story or character ideas, that is where Pretend Quest can help! Pretend Quest seeds kids’ pretend play by giving them roles and goals. Once Pretend Quest best the story started, the children take it from there. They can ask for one or more characters to play by asking “Who am I?” and they can ask for a goal by asking “What’s my quest?”. In addition, multiple kids (or adults) can join in to play cooperatively together by each taking a turn and saying, “Who am I?”
