A travel competition game for groups
The Side Quest turns wherever you're staying into a game board. Race other teams through quick, silly, photo-friendly challenges around the neighborhood, and keep a few secret dares up your sleeve.

Pinch the Skyline
Use forced perspective so your teammate looks like they're holding, pinching, or pocketing a building. Photo: the illusion, clearly working. Feet stay on the sidewalk the whole time.
The Side Quest is open for beta testing on TestFlight, Apple's free app for trying apps before they launch. Install TestFlight, tap the button below, and you can start a quest today. Everyone in a quest needs the app, so send the link to your crew too.
Needs an iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or later. A beta can have rough edges: if something looks wrong, tell us at contact@mobileside.quest.
One player hosts: they set The Arena, the stretch of town you'll play in, and share a six-character invite code. Up to eight players join and split into teams, or go solo.
Three Challenge Cards are always up for grabs. Tap Start, do the challenge, and send your proof: a photo, a video, a check-in, the route your phone recorded, or a climb or walk it measures. The first team whose proof checks out takes the points, and rival teams vote on the photos. If a team gives up on a card, the prize grows for everyone else.
In team and couples quests, every player also holds up to three Private Cards: small dares and sneaky observations. Send the proof to your teammate (or partner), score for your team, or veto a card that doesn't suit you, at a small cost.
Most points when the quest ends wins. Ties go to the team that completed more cards, then to the team that earned more Quest Coins.
Everyone for themselves. Two to eight players, each their own team, racing the same board. Solo plays the Challenge Cards on the board only: there are no Private Cards.
Teams of two, up to four teams. Made for friends and family on a trip.
Couples vs Couples (two to four couples) or Partner vs Partner, head to head. The host sets a spice level from 0 to 4 for how playful the cards get, and the top two levels ask every player to opt in first.
The Side Quest is rated 17+ and isn't intended for children. It sends you out into public places, so keep your eyes up, watch traffic, stay off private property, don't climb anything, never play while driving, and never photograph identifiable strangers without asking. You never have to do a challenge that feels unsafe. Read the safety tips.
