About the Designer

Joe Dean has been professionally designing themed treasure hunts since 1986 as an entertainment freelance consultant. In 1995, he opened the production doors of Quest Experiences to develop larger scale events and live treasure hunt adventures. These utilize actors, period costumes and set pieces. During these early production years he entertained clients like the Orange County Department of Mental Health (fundrasier) and Sam's Club Membership Warehouse.

Joe Dean earned a Bachelor's Degree in Art History from the California State University, Fullerton. He has extensive training in theater, studio art, state education and anthropology and he includes actual historical events and people in many of his productions.

He now enjoys sharing his experience and resources with others by providing the Quest Experiences website.
