Chex Quest was a game based on Ultimate Doom wherein the player is embodied as a Chex Man attempting to rescue captured Chex people from evil slime creatures. It was available in boxes of Chex cereal in 1996. The game featured five levels. Because the market for the cereal consisted largely of children, the game was made to be deliberately non-violent: for example, the enemies in the game are not killed, but instead transported back to their alternate dimension.
The game is notable for the fact that it was the first game CD ever to be released via a cereal box. Sales of Chex cereal jumped by over 200% during this promotion.
The game was created by Digital Café.
Much of the manufacturing costs for the CDs was paid for by America Online. AOL was allowed to include its own online software in exchange for its contribution.
