Embark on a Mythical Quest

Quest

The Search for the Inkanyamba

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary adventure as the Fangorn Forest Fantasy Festival introduces a thrilling quest to find the legendary Inkanyamba. A mythical creature, known for its immense power and majestic presence, has captured the imaginations of fantasy enthusiasts for centuries. Let the quest begin!

The Gathering of Houses

As the festival commences, representatives from various Houses gather in anticipation of the quest. Houses will vie with each other through a series of conundrums, tests and creative role play. Players will each use their individual key character strengths and skills but will need to work as a unified House to ultimately discover the cause of Fangorn’s imbalance and unrest.

Unravelling the Clues

The quest begins as each House receives their first clue, carefully crafted to guide them on their path. The clues are designed to challenge the participants’ problem-solving abilities, character strengths and weaknesses, requiring them to think creatively and delve into the realm of fantasy. Riddles, puzzles, and hidden messages will lead the way, unveiling the secrets of the Inkanyamba’s whereabouts.

Seeking Wisdom from Elders

Throughout the quest, Houses will have the opportunity to seek guidance from wise elders and mythical beings who possess knowledge of the Inkanyamba’s lore. These encounters provide valuable insights and hints, helping the participants navigate the intricate web of clues. The wisdom shared by these mystical guides adds an element of depth and authenticity to the quest, immersing the participants further into the fantastical world.

The Quest

The Quest will provide unrivalled opportunities for cosplayers to act out their character of choice in a fictional realm amidst beautiful scenery.

The Quest begins SEVEN days after your ticket purchase, where you will receive your first clue and House placement.

Festival Cancellation


It is with the deepest sadness that we announce the cancellation of the 2024 Fangorn Forest Fantasy Festival. We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Pieter Hugo, one of the organisers of the festival. Pieter and his partner, Merese, were both dedicated to making this festival a reality and had invested their joint heart and soul into it. It cannot now continue without Pieter. All tickets already sold will be refunded via Quicket. We will communicate with ticket holders personally in the next few days. We trust you will understand why this difficult decision had to be made. Hold fast to your dreams.
