Loony Quest: The Lost City is an expansion for Loony Quest released in 2016 for 2–5 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Laurent Escoffier and David Franck and its main mechanics are Line Drawing.
The Arkadia tournament is now over, but the king's exiled evil brother Vadoor has caught the five adventurers and is sending them far away. To save the kingdom, our heroes must begin by fleeing a pirate ship. During their escape, they will find the legendary sunken city of Spectra, inhabited by a hitherto-unknown, ancient tribe of Loonies who appear to have come from another galaxy. Where will this new quest lead our adventurers? In Loony Quest: The Lost City, the first expansion for Loony Quest, players discover five new worlds and strive to master the previously unseen challenges of this 32-level content pack! Travel through secret passages that let you reappear in another location on the level. A 3D-pyramid spaceship turns up the fun factor of the new levels and brings a new angle to the original Loony Quest game, boosting replayability. New special stages and more bonus and penalty tokens add up to even more fun with the players around the table!

The listed playing time for Loony Quest: The Lost City is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Loony Quest: The Lost City for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
