ahh, but announcing the winner here would be quite anticlimactic eh?

Keep an eye on the channel for an announcement very soon :]

Excellent work, folks -- the expanded Judge roster really helped this year due to the large amount of VERY creative, balanced, fascinating, dungeon-y, crawl-y quests received this year. There were 41 entries and 34 qualifying which will be nice and tasty warm in a bundle that will be posted freely here before long.

I look forward to the announcement - please give a round of applause for the wonderful talent and newcomers to the Quest!

And now...ONWARD!

Let the dread ceremony planning begin! [Heroes won't know what hit 'em! 👹]

Sorry for the late respond. I might be a bit dense here, but since english is not my native language, not sure I quite understand the letter posted by GeekGoneGiddy. Where do ZarMorGrim Associates want me (?) to provide more information? And what is ment by necessary documentation, submission formats and timelines? I thought everything needed was covered as one submitted the quest to the quest jam? This is my first ever attempt at this kind of online participation so a dumbed down clarification is most appreciated. :-)

hi BrightStrike :]

Fear not, GeekGoneGiddy's post was only an acknowledgement of the good receipt of your entry.

It has since been played and judged, and given a score. The jam is nearly done with this stage of the event and we can release the overall rankings soon ^_^

Stay tuned for an update!

Dear Esteemed Participants of HQ Quest Jam 2025,

On behalf of 'ZarMorGrim Associates' [fictional], we are thrilled to announce that the arduous, laughter-filled, and entirely fictional judging phase has reached its grand conclusion. Our conclave of judges, after surviving countless quests through piles of submissions (with no actual harm endured, we assure you), has emerged victorious in their noble task.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the valiant participants who embarked on this creative adventure. Your imaginative quests, daring concepts, and epic narratives have made this year’s jam an unforgettable saga. The journey may have been fictional, but the fun, camaraderie, and inspiration were unquestionably real.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the champions of HQ Quest Jam 2025. Until then, may your pens stay mighty and your creativity boundless.

With whimsical regards,

Guests Judges ℅ The ZarMorGrim Associates Team [again fictional]:

We continue to be plagued by the unmoving, unyielding error message informing me that results are not yet available. I have now a response confirming someone let the itch.io admins know, and that's probably as good as I can hope for, so I wait patiently for now.

Well...as patiently as I can. I'm very eager to see the results myself and announce the winner, especially so I can begin videos. Until then, I wait....

I look forward to the results!

Ash of the quest. My Mind points are all but spent trapped in this ‘Pit of Anticipation’. Is there a hope we can cling to? A word from the Administration? I’ve heard they roll eight dice in defence… It is but a rumour…

ImmortalWahSubmitted116 days ago

I fear the many defense dice of the Itchio Admins may have been wiped out by an even more sinister force: the Dark Powers of Vizargon and Mastercor!

i have heard the evil sorceror „bug, the dateshifter“ has destroyed all transport-ways to the „mountain of ranking“.

The mighty judges cant do anything but wait till a „itching-heroe“ comes along and writes a handwritten letter called „points for the ashes“!

Do non among us carry a Potion of Healing for the itching Hero?! Hold fast Mighty Judges.

Potion of Calamine?

Elixer of Excel? Would not a quick encounter with a spreadsheet vanquish this beast?

it would, and from the looks of things....that is the treasure card we are hoping to draw.
