How It Was Made

The Quester’s Guide (Magic issue) is a creation of the Creative Quests community, founded in 2021. In January 2024, 60 Questers from around the world spent a full month immersing themselves in the theme of Magic. Every insight, story, and creation comes from community members and friends we’ve met along the way.

Magic is the first in a series of ongoing multimedia Quester’s Guide editions – each exploring the world through a different thematic lens.
