MythQuest is a Canadian television series that originally aired on Showcase in 2001. It is a unique mix of action, adventure, and fantasy that takes viewers on a journey through various mythological worlds. The show features an ensemble cast, led by Christopher Jacot, Meredith Henderson, and Matthew Walker, who play three generations of a family that must work together to solve a puzzle that threatens to destroy their reality.

The story follows Matt Bellowski (Jacot), a video game designer who discovers that one of his creations is actually a gateway to a mysterious realm called the World of Myth. When his father (Walker), a renowned mythologist, disappears while investigating the realm, Matt enlists the help of his younger sister Alex (Henderson) to follow in his father's footsteps and save him.

Their journey takes them through various mythological worlds, including Ancient Egypt, Norse mythology, and even the world of the Aztecs. Along the way, they meet a cast of characters based on various mythological figures, including Horus, Odin, and Huitzilopochtli.

The trio must use their knowledge of mythology and problem-solving skills to navigate each world and find the missing pieces of a puzzle. Only by completing the puzzle can they save their father and prevent the destruction of their own world.

One of the unique aspects of MythQuest is its use of interactive storytelling. Viewers can go online to access additional content related to the show, including in-depth information about the mythological characters and worlds depicted in each episode. This added layer of interactivity helped to create a dedicated fanbase for the show.

In addition to its engaging storytelling and immersive world-building, MythQuest also boasts a talented cast. Christopher Jacot brings a likable charm to his role as Matt, while Meredith Henderson shines as the intelligent and resourceful Alex. Matthew Walker, as the family patriarch, adds a gravitas to the proceedings that helps to ground the fantastical elements of the show.

Despite its engaging storyline and talented cast, MythQuest only lasted for one season. Its unique blend of mythology and interactivity was ahead of its time, and the show struggled to find an audience. However, it has since become a cult favorite among fans of fantasy and mythology.

In conclusion, MythQuest is an imaginative and engaging television series that combines mythology and action-adventure with interactive storytelling. Its talented cast and immersive world-building create an unforgettable viewing experience that is sure to delight fans of fantasy and mythology. Although it only lasted for one season, MythQuest has left a lasting impact on those who were fortunate enough to discover it.
