Quest Bowl is a bowling alley run by adult Jonny Quest and Hadji in the town of Jellystone.

Overview[]

Quest Bowl is a bowling alley in the town of Jellystone. It is run by Jonny Quest and Hadji. It closes at 10pm.[1]

Quest Bowl has a standard bowling alley with wall art of a jet on the left, and a large robotic spider firing a laser on the right. The name "Quest" is written on at least one of the walls.

Counter - Hadji and Jonny and usually behind a counter. Behind them is a shelf of bowling shoes. The counter has a lever, and pulling the lever does different things, such as dropping a disco ball or revealing the Hoch Mar course.

Snacks - There is a snack bar. It appears to offer drinks and popcorn.

Hoch Mar - Quest Bowl has an elite bowling alley called Hoch Mar. This can be exposed when a lever on the counter is pulled. The Hoch Mar course has elaborate obstacles including a pirate ship, a tank, a robotic spider, and an upside-down loop.

Disco party lighting - The bowling alley can optionally turn on party strobe lights and drop a disco ball.

History[]

My Doggie Dave[]

Yogi Bear invites Doggie Daddy to go bowling. Since Doggie Daddy isn't emotionally ready to leave Augie home with a babysitter, he disguises her as "Dave" and brings her along to Quest Bowl, where they meet up with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, Captain Caveman, and Bobbie Louie. They bowl, and chat by the snack bar. When they decide they're "gonna rock this place till 10", when Quest Bowl closes, Captain Caveman shouts to "drop the ball". Hadji, who's standing behind a counter with Jonny, pulls a lever on the counter; a disco ball drops from the ceiling and party strobe lights start.

A few nights later, Augie as "Dave" goes to Quest Bowl again with Captain Caveman, Boo Boo, Yogi, Bobbie Louie, and Squiddly Diddly. They play duck-duck-goose in the bowling alley when Doggie Daddy interrupts them. He "announces" a rambling analogy about how Dave is a booger in his cereal, which everyone, including Hadji and Jonny hear. Doggie Daddy challenges "Dave" to Hoch Mar. Hadji pulls a lever, and the back of the bowling alley opens to reveal an entrance marked "Hoch Mar". Yogi gets up on a podium to make an announcement as the elaborate bowling course is revealed:

Since the dawn of civilization, adults have needed a way to settle disputes through Gigantigolf bowling! Two contestants enter. Both leave. I mean, no one gets hurt. This is just a game.

Doggie Daddy sets the terms: If he wins, "Dave" will bury the mustache in a grave he dug (so he'll have Augie back), and if he loses, he'll live in his own grave marked "Daddy". Both graves are dug in the middle of Quest Bowl. "Dave" performs horribly, but when Doggie Daddy upsets them near the end, he decides to throw the game by breaking a light. "According to the rules of Hoch Mar, that's an instant disqualification." So "Dave" wins. But Augie takes off the mustache anyway and Doggie Daddy has his daughter back.

Business[]

Augie wants to be a businesswoman, so when taking Bobbie Louie's advice, Augie makes her own company JKN and begins acquiring other businesses in Jellystone. In a montage, she goes to Quest Bowl and shakes Hadji's hand in agreement as she acquires Quest Bowl.

Bobbie Louie later buys JKN from Augie, thus owning JKN and all its acquired businesses, including Quest Bowl.

What this actually changes for Quest Bowl is unclear, but presumably Hadji and Jonny are still running the location.
