Legacy: Fables is a first-of-it’s-kind Adventure Studio where you can become the hero or villain of an epic tale. Our talented narrators guide the guests through a story but leave it to them to make the choices the protagonist would usually make. This can change the plot drastically and results in each guest to walk away with a story that is entirely
their own. Find @legacyfables on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Go to the Legacy: Fables website (studio located at 443 N. University Ave., Provo, UT)
