Step into a fantasy world where business plans mingle with strange enchantments and the market is never what it seems.

This event is designed with entrepreneurial leadership in mind - for anyone curious about the messy reality of building ideas and leading through uncertainty. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to test, fail, and adapt on the fly, you’ll feel right at home.

You’ll take on a fantasy character and join a small team of fellow entrepreneurs-in-disguise. Together, you’ll:

• Interview strange and unpredictable NPCs to gather intel.

• Dream up bizarre products that might just make you rich.

• Build your idea with limited time and energy tokens.

• Roll the dice and see what magical mishaps or unexpected opportunities change your fate.

The market is chaotic, the customers are fickle, and your product could become a cult sensation - or a village-wide joke.

This playful experience is more than just fun and games. You’ll get a taste of:

• Leading through uncertainty

• Making decisions with incomplete information

• Collaborating under pressure

• Turning setbacks into opportunities (or at least good stories)

No business experience required - just bring your imagination, your sense of humour, and your willingness to play.
