Quest Challenge
Can your group create one unexpectedly great memory from soft light, nighttime stories, and low-key wonder before the timer ends?
Pro Tip
Set the boundary and the finish line first. After-Dark Shadow Puppet Cabaret works best when setup stays smaller than the story you make together.
Safety First
Use battery-powered lights rather than flames, keep the activity inside or within a familiar supervised area, and avoid dark streets or uneven ground.
