Chex Quest is a 1996 shooter game developed and published by Digital Café.
Chex Quest, a non-violent first-person shooter video game created in 1996 and released in 1997 by Digital Café, was a video game originally intended as a Chex cereal promotion aimed at children aged 6–9 and up. It is a total conversion of the more explicitly violent video game Doom (specifically The Ultimate Doom version of the game). Chex Quest won both a Golden EFFIE Award for Advertising Effectiveness and Golden Reggie Award for Promotional Achievement in 1998. It is known today for having been the first video game ever to be included as a cereal box prize. The game's cult following has been described as being composed of unusually devoted fans of an advertising vehicle from a bygone age.
In 2019, General Mills re-released Chex Quest, as well as its previously unofficial 2008 sequel, and produced a mini-documentary available on YouTube.
