AdventureQuest (also referred to by its website name BattleOn or abbreviated to AQ) is an online Flash-based single-player role-playing video game started in 2002[1] and currently developed by Artix Entertainment.

Ownership of the game transferred to the newly formed Artix Entertainment in 2004, and a server population cap was added for non-Guardian players in May of that year.

As players defeat monsters, they gain experience points, gold, and occasionally "Z-Tokens", a secondary currency that can also be bought with real-world money.

AdventureQuest has an alignment system similar to that of Dungeons & Dragons, which includes selection between Good and Evil as well as Unity and Chaos.

Like most other RPGs, AdventureQuest has special releases or events as well as a limited time shop based on real-life holidays.

AdventureQuest also includes anniversary events such as The Dragon of Time, Curse of the Phantom Pixel, and Rise of the Shadow Council.

These players ensure activity and stability for their respective clans and also play larger parts during clan-based game releases.

Some buildings yield resources, such as health and mana potions, in varying amounts, depending on the quality of the house in question.

[3] Other exclusives include the ability to create an account for ArchKnight and ZardWars, which are similar side-games that are also developed by Artix Entertainment.

Introduced in June 2006, Money or Z-Tokens are rare coins in AdventureQuest that are occasionally found after winning a battle.
