- Paper and pencils or a voice recorder
- One prompt connected to soft light, nighttime stories, and low-key wonder
How to Do the Quest

Set the scene with a comfortable spot and a clear start-and-finish time.
- 2

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. Candleless Evening Ritual 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.
