Questing at Origins Game Fair
XP Network and Origins Game Fair Unite for the First Time to Launch XP Network Questing
Columbus, Ohio - June 17, 2026
XP Network and Origins Game Fair have partnered for the first time to bring a fully live, convention-wide quest experience to one of the largest tabletop gaming events in North America. Running June 17th through 21st at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, XP Network Quests transforms the entire Origins floor into a real-life RPG with achievements, character building, D20 challenges, and real rewards available everywhere attendees look.
Players create a character, choose a class, and earn XP by completing quests across The Tavern, The Dungeon, the XP Network HQ, the Swag Outpost, and partner booths throughout the Exhibit Hall. Achievements slot permanently into each player's Trophy Case and carry forward into the XP Network platform long after the convention ends.
Origins 2026 marks the debut of the Quest for the Ancient Cipher, twenty hidden Runes scattered across the convention floor, each one scannable and collectible, each one carrying unique abilities for your character. Collect all twenty and unearth the Great Origins Treasure.
Joining XP Network across the Exhibit Hall are some of the most recognized names in tabletop gaming. In-person quests are available at the booths of Catalyst Game Labs, Chaosium Inc., Looney Labs, Rising Empire Studios, Warlord Games, Norse Foundry, Trivium Studios, Soulmasters TCG, and ARC. Players who can't make it to Columbus can still participate through online quests offered by Ulisses Spiele, Ares Games, Level 99 Games, Modiphius, Wise Wizard Games, Wyrd Games, and Paizo.
"This is only the beginning," said XP Network. "Origins is the first chapter. The quest continues."
XP Network Quests are free to join. Visit xpnetwork.com to create your character before the gates open.
