Bring the fun of summer to your game table all year round with SUMMER QUEST, a fresh strategy board game for kids and families from PlayQuest, released in 2025!
In this colorful race, 2–4 players compete to be the first to spell S-U-M-M-E-R on their peg board. Collect Sun Tokens, navigate through fun summer activities, and earn the letters you need — while pesky bees, ants, and unexpected twists try to slow you down. Be the first player to complete S-U-M-M-E-R and win the Summer Quest!
Summer Quest is easy for kids to learn while offering real strategy and meaningful decisions, with changing choices and twists that keep every game interesting. It's designed to produce exciting, close finishes that keep everyone in the game until the end, while quick starts and an average play time of approximately 20 minutes for 2 players mean games don't drag on — and there's usually time for another round.
Designed for ages 5+, Summer Quest helps kids practice math, logical reasoning, spatial thinking, decision-making, multitasking, and strategy while they're focused on something much more important to them: FUN. And because there's enough strategy and competition to keep grown-ups engaged too, it's a game kids and parents can genuinely enjoy playing together.
Perfect for family game night, birthdays, holiday gifts, rainy days, or anytime your family could use a little summer fun — no matter what season it is outside.
PlayQuest. Built Kid Perfect.
