Quest Guidelines – Quester+ Creator Portal

Quest Guidelines

1. Purpose & Clarity

  • Clear Objective
    Every quest must have one well-defined goal.
  • Step-by-Step Instructions
    Break multi-part quests into numbered steps so participants always know what to do next.
  • Estimated Effort
    Tell players roughly how long or how far (if location-based) the quest takes.

2. Age & Safety

  • Minimum Age: 13+
    No quests may be targeted at or require participation from anyone under 13 years old.
  • Parental Consent (13–15)
    Quests open to ages 13–15 must clearly state “Parental/Guardian Approval Required.”
  • No Harmful Substances
    Absolutely no reference to or encouragement of alcohol, tobacco, vaping, recreational drugs, or prescription medication misuse.
  • No Dangerous Activities
    Do not require climbing, trespassing, stunts, or anything that could cause injury.
  • Weather & Environment
    Don’t schedule open-air quests in adverse conditions unless you provide full safety guidance.

3. Content & Conduct

  • No Offensive Material
    Profanity, hate speech, extremist content, or sexual material is forbidden.
  • Respect Privacy & Property
    Don’t ask users to record strangers without consent or enter private property.
  • No Illegal or Unlicensed Use
    No graffiti, vandalism, or tasks requiring permits.
  • Cultural Sensitivity
    Avoid culturally-insensitive or exploitative challenges.

4. Location & Permissions

  • On-Premises Only
    All quests must take place at the creator’s own legally-owned or leased business location.
  • No Public or Residential Sites
    Parks, sidewalks, private homes, or third-party venues are strictly prohibited.
  • Proof of Ownership/Lease
    You must be able to demonstrate that you have full right to host an event on-site.
  • Accessibility
    If your premises have barriers, provide an alternative, non-physical task.

6. Quality & Brand Fit

  • Tone & Voice
    Write in your brand’s style—friendly, concise, and consistent.
  • Branded Assets
    Use approved logos, fonts, and colors so quests feel on-brand.
  • Replay Value
    Consider daily or weekly twists to keep users coming back.

7. Accessibility & Inclusivity

  • Physical Access
    Note if your location is wheelchair-accessible or has stairs.
  • Alternative Tasks
    For those with mobility or sensory challenges, offer a non-physical alternative.
  • Language & Clarity
    Use simple phrasing; consider translations if serving multilingual areas.

8. Environmental & Community Impact

  • Leave No Trace
    Don’t ask players to litter or tamper with public fixtures.
  • Noise & Respect
    Avoid disruptive tasks in residential areas, especially at night.
  • Local Regulations
    Even on your property, check for any special permits.

9. Support & Feedback

  • Help & Contact
    Provide a “Need help?” link/email for broken clues or questions.
  • Issue Reporting
    Include an in-app “Report this quest” for hazards or inappropriate content.
  • Response Time
    Commit to responding to all reports within 24–48 hours.

10. Moderation & Quality Control

  • Spam & Duplicates
    Don’t create quests identical to existing ones.
  • Content Reviews
    Schedule regular audits of live quests for compliance.
  • User Conduct
    Zero tolerance for harassment, hate speech, or stalking.
