How to Accept a Quest

1
Browse the Quest Board
Head to the main Quest Board (home page) to see all available quests. You can filter by category or search by name to find something that excites you.
2
Open a Quest
Click on any quest card to open its detail page. Here you'll see the full description, difficulty rating, XP reward, time estimate, and step-by-step instructions.
3
Hit "Accept Quest"
If you're ready to take on the challenge, click the "Accept Quest" button. You'll need to be logged in — if you're not, you'll be redirected to log in first and then brought right back.
4
It's Added to My Quests
Once accepted, the quest appears in your "My Quests" page under the Active tab. You can return to it any time to track your progress.

✅

1
Go to My Quests
Navigate to "My Quests" in the sidebar. You'll see all your active quests listed there with your current progress.
2
Open an Active Quest
Click on an active quest to open its detail page. You'll see the list of steps you need to complete in real life.
3
Check Off Steps
As you complete each step in real life, check it off using the checkbox next to it. Steps are meant to be done out in the world — not just clicked through!
4
Mark the Quest Complete
Once all steps are checked off, the "Complete Quest" button becomes active. Click it to officially finish the quest and claim your XP reward.
5
Earn XP & Level Up
Your XP is automatically added to your profile. Accumulate enough XP to level up and unlock new adventurer titles. Check your Profile page to see your progress.

1
Go to Create Quest
Click "Create Quest" in the sidebar navigation. You'll need to be logged in to create quests.

Fill in the Details
Give your quest a compelling title and a clear description explaining what the adventurer needs to do. Choose an emoji icon that fits the vibe.
3
Set Category & Difficulty
Pick a category (Exploration, Food, Wellness, etc.) and a difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard, Legendary). These help others find and filter quests.
4
Set an XP Reward
Decide how much XP this quest is worth. Easy quests typically reward 25–75 XP, medium quests 75–150 XP, hard quests 150–300 XP, and legendary quests 300–500 XP.
5
Add Quest Steps
Break your quest into clear, actionable steps. Each step should describe one concrete action the adventurer needs to do in real life. Good steps are specific and achievable.
6
