New D&D "Touring Experience" Launching in Toronto This Fall

Canadians will be the first to experience a new Dungeons & Dragons-themed touring experience later this fall. Hasbro has announced that a new "touring experience" called "The Immersive Quest - A D&D Experience" will launch in Toronto starting this fall. No other details were provided about the event, nor can we find any tickets or mentions of it on the Internet, but the experience was announced ahead of Licensing Expo, an annual showcase of various brands.

It took a little bit of digging to find a potential equivalent to what "The Immersive Quest" could be, but I found at least one possible comparisons. Earlier this year, a similar immersive touring event based on Minecraft was announced, with attendees taking an hour to an explore a blocky world and complete an interactive scavenger hunt quest. I'd expect this to be something closer to an upscale (and probably pricy) experience as opposed to the Willy Wonka Experience of Scottish infamy.

Hasbro has also built up several other immersive D&D experiences, including an off-Broadway improv show called the Twenty Sided Tavern that's set to tour the US starting in 2025.

Maybe you just sit on a D&D themed train? Based on Vecna: Eve of Ruin someone at WOTC loves the railroad.

Perhaps something like True Dungeon, as an introduction to the game? They should just get Deborah Ann Woll to explain it to people, instead. I'm in the Toronto area and work in downtown Toronto, so I'll try to keep my ears open.

Oh yes! Subsidize the building of a new 300kph capable set of tracks from Windsor to Quebec City. Get some really sweet EMUs to run on it. Slab Eberron branding all over it. Call it the lightning rail. Win win!

Might take a bit longer to build than just this year though... get it ready to celebrate D&D's 60th?

(Slightly more seriously, I grew up near Toronto though don't live nearby anymore. Will have to have my friends who are still local check it out...)

Wow, something cool and D&D related that's happening here in Canada and it's not out west?! My my! Seriously though, I'm very curious about what this will be and I'll probably be going regardless.

I will keep my eyes out, I live in City of Richmond Hill which sits on top of City of Toronto.

Initially thought the title said “torturing experience” and I was very alarmed lol. Glad to have been mistaken!

The GTA is one of the largest Metropolian areas in North America, largest in Canada, with high levels of Tourism. I think only like Mexico City, New York, and LA are larger so it makes good business sense. Very diverse city too.

It's missionaries from the Church of Lovitar! Toronto is very welcoming to minority religions.
