The show was a fusion of 2,300 LED drones, 200 pyro drones, fireworks, exhibition shells, flames, music, and an enormous fireball finale that delighted thousands of PGI members and the public audience.

Told from the perspective of a video game player adventuring through multiple levels of daunting obstacles and bosses, "Quest" featured several notable artistic contributions:

• Over a dozen show provider companies in Verge Aero’s partner network provided drones and on-site assistance.
• A majority of the pyrotechnics were expertly choreographed and executed by Rozzi Famous Fireworks.
• Jim Widmann, Guinness World Record holder for the largest aerial firework shell, personally contributed multiple 10- and 12-inch handmade shells featured throughout the show.
• Bill Corbett of the ‘Fireball Dudes’ closed the show with his signature “Supernuke” fireball, featuring nearly 600 gallons of gasoline and special firework effects.
• 36 lampares (an aerial pyrotechnic effect of a sudden fireball in the air) burst at key moments, provided by RKM Fireworks and Craig Heatherington.
• 20 Flame Machines produced a fiery ground effect, provided and managed by Astro Magic FX.
• A 5-inch, 29-break shell of shells provided by Santore.

"Quest" is the third massive multimedia display the Powered by Verge network has brought to the annual PGI convention.

Verge Aero's viral fireball-shooting robot head presented at PGI in 2023 has become a widely recognized symbol of the artistic possibilities of combining drones with pyrotechnics.

"I personally think this type of integration is the future of entertainment." Verge Aero pilot and director of customer success, Joel Robinson, said hours before the show took flight. "We’re putting drones, fireworks, and special effects into this beautifully choreographed show to showcase how all these mediums can come together to make the best spectacular possible."
