Run a cultural adventure with our free Quest for the Caribbean Cure:

Create a free account in our learning platform and take the online course with videos, handouts, and manual that shows how to run this educational adventure that teaches about the Taino culture.

Quest for the Caribbean Cure Roleplaying Adventure: “A terrible disease has struck humanity but there is a rumored cure that was discovered by an archaeologist who has suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Can you find out what happens in times to save humanity?”

Note: This adventure is considered “Low Cap” or low capital expense because it can be run with just Google Slides and very small, low expense props.





Run a STEM adventure with our free Phantom Physics

Create a free account in our learning platform and take the online course with videos, handouts, and manual that shows how to run this educational adventure that teaches about particle physics.

Quantum Manor is a grand, mysterious mansion where Dr. Anna Lysis Quark, a renowned particle physicist, once lived. Rumor has it that she discovered a ‘hidden particle’ that could answer unsolved mysteries of the universe, but it vanished with her. Participants need to take on the role of scientists to unlock clues that teach basic physics knowledge while revealing the location of the particle.

Note: This adventure can be run in person or over Zoom.





Try an adventure based on a cruise ship with our complimentary Elixir of Life:

Create a free account in our learning platform and take the online course with videos, handouts, and manual that shows how to run this exciting mystery adventure.

This is a higher level complimentary in-person STEM Adventure course for your staff to run for your campers. In this immersive experience, your campers are thrust into a crime-solving adventure set aboard a cruise ship in the year 2070.

Note: This adventure requires more investment in props and supplies than our typical adventures.





Learn how to create a custom themed LARP adventure for your location:

Create a free account in our learning platform and take the online course with videos, handouts, and manual that shows how to both create and run your own Live-Action Roleplaying adventure.

This free course walks you through how to design and create a fully customizable LARP that can be educational and/or simply entertaining. Our Universal Game System Lite includes themes for space, wilderness, spies, zombies, superheroes, and medieval fantasy as well as instructions on how to run an adventure online using Zoom. The only limit is your own imagination.

ALSO included: One complimentary pre-designed UGS Lite adventure called Web of Mystery. This adventure has both low budget and middle budget equipment versions.

CASE STUDY 1:

When Royal Caribbean wanted to add a higher level experience to engage their kids, teens, and families aboard Oasis of the Seas, the 2nd largest cruise ship in the world, they contacted us about making live STEM adventures for each group. We got to work and developed three distinct stories with mysteries to solve that required the group to use STEM for their investigation. The adventures were designed to fully engage their clients in an immersive and exciting story. After the initial set of adventures was complete for Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean immediately ordered adventures for more ships.

We created and sourced all of the technology, props, costumes, and supplies for each ship. We produced professional in-game videos (videos that help tell the story to the participants), staff training videos, step-by-step documentation, and we even loaded the software and forms we created for each adventure.

We made it as easy as possible for Royal Caribbean to install these adventures as fast as possible so that they can be immediately enjoyed by their 6 million customers a year. We are excited to continue our work with Royal Caribbean as they lead the cruise-line industry in their daring and innovative approach to delighting their customers.

CASE STUDY 2:

When ST Unitas, one of the largest Tech Ed companies in Asia and parent company of The Princeton Review, wanted to design an live STEM summer camp that reflected the quality of their online transmedia presence, they approached Professor Joseph Blatt at Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE).  Joe brought in Guardian Adventures and we partnered with Professor Uche Amaechi, also of HGSE, to create the Mission to Mars STEM Summer Camp for ST Unitas.

This first of its kind collaboration integrates traditional STEM-based learning principles with informal education — experiential and student-driven processes that foster learning through hands-on activity.

In 2018, Guardian Adventures and professors from HGSE created the full STEM curriculum as well as the story behind Mission to Mars.  The camp was held in Seoul, South Korea and was a huge success.  From there, ST Unitas contracted Guardian Adventures to create a Winter Camp for kids from Asia, to be held here in the USA.

The students spent one week studying at Harvard University, then applied their lessons during a highly interactive Mars adventure at Guardian Adventures in Burlington, MA.  Guardian Adventures turned their entire facility into a space expedition complete with the interior of a space ship, terrestrial shelters, space suits, remote-controlled robots, and more.

During their time at Guardian Adventures, visitors worked as a team to develop the necessary skills to get to, and survive on, the red planet.  This included exciting activities such as:

  • Determining “escape velocity” — the necessary speed/energy to escape the earth’s gravitational pull
  • Extreme weather survival skills
  • Electrolysis and oxygen production
  • Constructing and understanding two-stage rockets
  • Building structures for harsh environments (geodesic domes)

Each year since, we have designed new curriculum and a higher level experience for returning campers – both in South Korea and for their students who travel each winter to our facility in the USA.  These camps are now part of the regular offering for ST Unitas and their clients.


Guardian Adventures continues to be contracted by large and small corporations alike who want to add immersive and engaging experiences to their environment or their business model.
