About the game

Loony Quest is a creative drawing game where players trace level cards onto transparent sheets, trying to hit targets and avoid obstacles across whimsical fantasy worlds. Once everyone finishes drawing, sheets are laid over the level card to reveal how well each player's line matches the intended path. Inspired by video games, players progress through different worlds, trigger special stages, and collect experience points to win.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli enjoys Loony Quest's unusual real-time drawing mechanic: it's a genuinely different kind of family game that rewards a steady hand and a bit of creative planning.

What we like

  • Unique drawing and tracing mechanic unlike typical board games.
  • Low downtime keeps everyone drawing simultaneously.
  • Video-game-inspired progression adds variety across worlds.
  • Accessible and fun for both kids and adults.

Keep in mind

  • Requires markers and transparent sheets that can wear out over time.
  • Limited strategic depth compared to typical euro games.
  • Differences in drawing skill may affect enjoyment for some players.
