Downtown D&D - The Gathering Flames

You are no mere traveler… You are an Ember, a spark of the old flame, reborn to walk a path forgotten by time.

Join us for Downtown D&D: Quest of the Emberwake, a one-of-a-kind, interactive roleplaying quest that transforms historic Downtown Martinez into a living fantasy realm. Armed with a magical Quest Passport, your party will journey across a series of real-world locations—each transformed into puzzle-filled dungeons, potion shops, arcane shrines, and more.

Solve riddles, find hidden sigils, brave magical trials, and interact with costumed NPCs who bring this fantasy world to life. Along the way, you may collect spells, encounter dragons, uncover relics, and face moral choices that echo into the final challenge.

Why use 21+ as the minimum for “responsible guardian”?

• Legally, someone under 18 cannot be a legal guardian without a court order.
• Setting the guardian age to 21 reduces ambiguity and better protects you from liability.
• Many insurance and event risk management guidelines consider 21+ the standard for legal supervision at public events.
• There is one Brewry stop and minors must be accompanied by someone 21 years or older.
