Witless Bay & St. John's, Newfoundland
New quest
Nicole and Ben are getting married on a cliffside meadow full of lupins. Pack your dice, your dancing shoes, and something you can bounce in.
Add to Google CalendarSide quest: Witless Bay is home to North America's largest puffin colony, and five of them are hiding on this page. Tap one when you spot it.
World 1 · The overworld
From a super-like in 2021 to a dragon fight in Minecraft. Follow the trail, and poke at things as you go.
Act I · Origin story
Session 0 · The match · 2021
Nicole and Ben had both lived in Edmonton and never crossed paths there. Then Nicole moved home to Newfoundland, and while she was quarantining, Ben super-liked her.
Your answer?
Session 0 · The first date
Ben opened with a handshake. Nicole cautiously shook it. At the end of the night he asked for a kiss, but he wasn't vaccinated yet, so she offered him a hug instead and then ghosted him for a couple of days. He got vaccinated before their second date.
Session 0 · The ferry
They started dating in June 2021. Not long after, problems with the Bell Island ferry meant Nicole stayed at Ben's place, and she essentially never left. Her dog Morgan and his cat Mufasa became one household, and later they adopted Mei together.
Act II · Quest log
Session 1 · The note
Nicole snuck into Ben's Minecraft world to leave an "I love you" note beside his bed. (Minecraft is a game where you build and explore a world made entirely of blocks, and you can leave books for other players to read.) She was trying to do something cute. Instead, she opened a book.
Naturally, she screamed, immediately closed the game with Alt+F4, and hung up on him. Very calm. Very normal. Ben called her back later, and they officially started the adventure he had planned.
Nicole left the game.
Session 2 · The coordinates
Ben built a quest that took Nicole a week and a half and involved 12 of their friends and family. Each of them held one piece of a location, an X, Y or Z coordinate, and she had to answer skill-testing questions about Ben to get it.
Three answers made a full set of coordinates, which sent her across the world to a hidden chest. Inside each was a book with one word and the names of the next three people to contact. It was a fairly thorough test of how well she knew her future husband.
Collect all three coordinates.
Session 3 · Hazards
Knowing the answers wasn't enough. Nicole had to survive the journey too, and a sea serpent killed her. When she finally reached the last chest, Ben had very helpfully arranged for it to be guarded by a lightning dragon.
That's when Ben showed up with armour, and they took it down together.
Nicole was slain by Sea Serpent
Help them take it down.
Session 4 · The final chest
After all the questions, the travelling, one death by sea serpent and a dragon fight, Ben got down on one knee.
Nicole had gone into his world to leave a little note saying she loved him. He had built her an entire adventure to ask her to spend their lives together.
World 2 · Character select

World 3 · Lupin meadow
Saturday, July 24, 2027. Lupins should be at their peak, and so should Nicole and Ben.
Objective 1 · Ceremony
Witless Bay is about a 35-minute drive south of St. John's, along the coast on Route 10.
Dress up, but the ceremony is in a field.
Stilettos and meadows don't mix. Block heels or flats.
It's Newfoundland. Even in July, the fog rolls in after dark.
Optional, but it grants +1 to whimsy.
World 4 · The skies
St. John's International (YYT) has nonstop flights from Toronto Pearson (YYZ).
Boarding pass · Party of adventurers

World 5 · Jellybean Row
A long rest restores all hit points. Here's where Nicole and Ben would put you up if they had a castle.
Featured stay
Nicole and Ben's pick for a place to stay, in St. John's, the same town as the reception.
See it on the mapLate July is peak season in St. John's, and rooms downtown fill up months ahead.
Signal Hill, Cape Spear, and a boat out to see whales and puffins are all close by.
Cabs and rideshares get you from the airport into town in about 15 minutes. Rent a car to explore further.

World 6 · The vault
Character creation opens when the invitations go out.
When formal invitations arrive, you'll come back here to create your character: confirm you're coming, choose your rations, and request the song that gets you on the dance floor.
For now, all you need to do is save the date.
