Mysterious Merchant
Mysterious Merchant is a live-action quest-based social event that I have built up over the last 2.5 years. I created the experience to push DigiPen students outside of their comfort zones by participating in fun and humorous quests that encourage social interaction. I perform as both the Shopkeeper and Quest Master NPCs, each of whom have distinct voices and personalities intended to create more immersion. Completing a quest awards gold coins that can be spent in the shop to acquire fantasy-themed items from the Mysterious Merchant universe.Sample Quests
