What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listen to two friends chat, touching upon adventure games for at least most of each episode! Hits well for me, a 40+ year old guy who played a lot of these games all my life and also watches both of the hosts play adventure games online.

Rife with enough callbacks so as to be enjoyable were the hosts not funny themselves. But the hosts are hilarious, so it’s pretty good.

Ian Hanschen · Aug 2026

Did you grow up with a DOS computer instead of a Nintendo, and still dream of typing "sierra.exe" 35 years later? Do adventure games work as a framing device for a podcast about sandwiches? Do you think a tambourine or a bridle is a good way to deal with your snake problem? Does the term "rubber chicken pulley" mean anything to you? Do you want to listen to a podcast about New York from 2 people who don't live there? Then Quest Quest is the podcast for you!
