The Sunlight Kingdom
A gentle quest for families of knights: three gems, three magical lands and a lonely dragon.
About
The Shadow Dragon has taken the three Gems of Light, and the King calls on every family of knights to bring them home before sunset.
The quest runs on GoQuest, TeamTika’s team game app, with each family on a phone or tablet. Three magical lands hold the gems: the Enchanted Forest, the Artisans’ Village and the Dragon Castle. The 12 tasks are made for mixed ages: riddles from the Ancient Tree, counting animal legs, drawing the kingdom, singing for the artisans and inventing a dance.
The twist comes at the castle: the dragon is not evil at all, just lonely. Families win back the last gem by making friends and writing the dragon a kind message.
Built for company family days, it gives parents and children a shared adventure where everyone can help.
Learning outcomes
Children and adults solve different parts of each challenge, so families quickly learn to listen to the youngest voices as well as the oldest.
Drawing, singing and dancing together give every family member a moment to shine, whatever their age.
The dragon's story turns the quest into a small lesson in empathy: looking for the reason behind someone's behaviour before judging them.
Families go home with photos, a song and a story they made together, which is what a family day is for.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can take part?
We run up to 30 teams per event, each playing on its own phone or tablet. Players join in the phone browser with a game code, so there is nothing to install. Tell us your headcount and we will suggest team sizes.
How long does the program take?
About 90 minutes of play, plus a short briefing at the start and the leaderboard reveal at the end.
What ages is this best for?
It was written for family days, so children and adults play side by side. Younger children enjoy it most with a parent on the team.
Can this be run indoors or outdoors?
Both. The tasks only need the app and things found nearby, so it works in a meeting room, a hotel ballroom, a resort or a garden.
Is the game available in Vietnamese?
Yes. The Sunlight Kingdom has full English and Vietnamese versions, and we set the language for each event.
