In the 1970’s there was only one show that all Americans tuned in for, “CryptidQuest". The host and creator of that show, Nathaniel Leonards, was like a king. He was like a king who sat on a throne to an empire he had fashioned from the very human need of wanting to understand the unknown.

Nathaniel's presence was everywhere: talk shows, books, magazines, movies, toys, comic books, t-shirts, novelties, etc. Nathaniel Leonards was a household name. He was famous. He was revered. He was adored. He was doomed.

Just as his star was burning brightest, tragedy struck. Nathaniel had promised during a special LIVE episode of his show, “CryptidQuest", he would unveil undeniable proof that we shared our world with monsters. read more... read less

That proof was to come in the form of a mysterious man-ape creature found frozen in a block of ice. Nathaniel planned to reveal this amazing find on live TV. Unfortunately, that night during the show, under the bright lights of the studio, the ice block melted revealing the creature inside to be a hoax.<br>
Nathaniel proclaimed his innocence. He insisted that he was the victim of a conspiracy, but it was too late, the damage was done, and “CryptidQuest" was canceled. Nathaniel’s once glorious empire began to look more like a house of cards.

Instantly, his once adoring fans labeled him a fraud. Now, treated as a pariah, his star quickly faded.

As the years passed he fell into obscurity and was all but forgotten. read more... read less

Nathaniel sets out to gather the finest team of researchers, scientists, audio and video professionals, and investigators; however, with the numerous other paranormal investigation shows he finds slim pickings in those departments. Instead, “CryptidQuest" ends up with the only three individuals who answer the ad.

Tara Nichols, an investigative reporter who’s driven by a need to expose the truth and prove her abilities as a journalist.

Gerard, a cameraman who’s still haunted by an event he witnessed early in his career.

Bernie, an audio professional who’s just taking this gig until he gets his career as a DJ going. read more... read less

With a less than stellar team, almost no budget, and a spokesperson whose name had once been synonymous with scandal “CryptidQuest" needs something to grab the public’s attention, regain it's reputation, and set it apart from the countless similar shows. It needs an edge, a hook.

In order to survive Nathaniel had to become a master of manipulation. Because of this he knows what drives people and motivates them. He knows that people seek knowledge and wonder, but they are ruled by fear and greed.

So during a live promotion for the show, Nathaniel announces that this all new “CryptidQuest” show will be investigating the sightings of it's viewers, and they will pay a reward of 400 million dollars to the first viewer who’s tip leads to the undeniable proof that we share our world with cryptids… with monsters. read more... read less

Phone calls begin to stream into the tip hot-line. There is no shortage of people desperate to claim the prize money.

The only issue is that there is no money for a reward. Nathaniel lied to jump- start interest in the show and increase viewer-ship. The tactic worked well. Maybe too well! With 400 million dollars on the line, the public goes crazy.

Instantly the masses are out scouring the forests, searching old abandoned buildings, dredging lakes, spelunking old mines and caves, all in an attemptatempt to be the first to collect the momentous reward.

And no matter how questionable, crazy, ridiculous or dangerous these claims are, the crew of “CryptidQuest" is sent to investigate them all. read more... read less
