The Surprising History of Chex Quest: The Best Cereal Box Prize of All Time?

Chex Quest is a non-violent first-person shooter video game created in 1996 by Digital Café, originally intended as a Chex cereal promotion aimed at children aged 6–9 and up. Chex Quest is a total conversion of the more explicitly violent video game Doom by Id Software and it is known today for having been the first video game ever to be included in cereal boxes as a prize. While Chex Quest was, initially, released on CD-ROM via cereal boxes it has since taken on a life of it's own with sequels (Chex Quest 2: Flemoids Take Chextropolis and Chex Quest 3) and a remake, Chex Quest HD plus comics and a whole ton of fan projects.
