Question 1

What is a table-top role playing game?

Accepted Answer

Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) are interactive games where participants create characters and go on adventures together in a collaborative story. These games encourage imagination, problem-solving, and teamwork as participants work together to overcome challenges and explore exciting worlds.

Question 2

How do your TTRPG sessions benefit neurodivergent children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Our sessions provide a structured yet flexible environment where participants can practice social skills, empathy, and collaboration. The engaging nature of TTRPGs helps build confidence, improve communication, and foster meaningful connections with peers. You can check out our About page to learn more about the research-backed benefits!

Question 3

What if my child, teen, or adult has never played TTRPGs before?

Accepted Answer

No problem at all! Our sessions are welcoming to beginners of all ages. Chris will guide new participants through the basics and make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.

Question 4

What should my child, teen, or adult bring to a session?

Accepted Answer

Participants should come with an open mind and a willingness to join in. We provide all necessary materials, such as character sheets, dice, and game props. If a participant has any comfort items or tools they need, they are welcome to bring those as well.

Question 5

What age group do you cater to?

Accepted Answer

We offer sessions tailored to different age groups. Currently, we run groups for ages 10-13, ages 14-17, and adults with developmental differences. Each group is kept small to make sure everyone gets personalized attention and a great experience.

Question 6

Do I (or a support worker) need to attend the sessions with my adventurer??

Accepted Answer

For neurodivergent children and teens, we generally encourage participants to join independently or with a support worker. This helps them feel comfortable, engaged, and supported by the group. Parents or guardians can always reach out to us with questions, for updates about their participant’s experience, or to arrange to observe a session. If personal care needs require support, a support worker must attend, as we cannot safely manage the care needs of the entire group while running the story.

For adult participants with developmental differences, a support worker is required to attend. This ensures that personal care, safety, or calming needs can be met during the session while keeping the experience safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Question 7

Can we meet with you for a consultation before enrolling?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer consultations to make sure Quirky Quest is the right fit for your participant. During the consultation, we can discuss specific needs, answer any questions, and provide more details about our sessions. To schedule a consultation, please fill out the contact form on our Contact page, and we’ll get back to you.

Question 8

How can I register my child, teen, or adult for a session?

Accepted Answer

To register, please fill out the contact form on our Contact page and indicate which age group your participant would like to join. This is an expression of interest. Once you reach out, we will schedule a consultation to review your participant’s needs. After the consultation, you can confirm their registration and secure their spot in the session.

Question 9

Can neurotypical children/teens join?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While Quirky Quest was originally designed with neurodivergent children and teens in mind, we welcome participants of all abilities who want to join the adventure.

Question 10

What happens if my child, teen, or adult misses a session?

Accepted Answer

We start every session with a short recap of the story, so participants can catch up on what happened. If their character leveled up during the missed session, they will also receive any progress when they return. This helps everyone stay engaged and enjoy the adventure without falling behind.

Question 11

What materials or resources are included in the program?

Accepted Answer

We provide everything participants need to join the adventure, including character sheets and dice. Each participant also receives any special materials needed for accessibility, such as prompt or nope cards.
