New quests you can take on with friends, anywhere. Quests that go anywhere you do • 190+ creative challenges with no destination required. Think golden-hour walk, one-color dinner, or make a mini magazine. • Go solo or rope in friends for a group quest. Each one has a difficulty and earns points toward your next level. • Tap "I did it," snap a photo, and it's done. Made to share • Your finished quests land in a friends-only feed as little photo souvenirs. • Like and comment on what your friends are up to, or double tap a photo to react. • Snap a photo right from the share screen, or pick one from your library. Built for everyone • The new quests come fully translated into every language Sidequest supports. • Full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion support, with higher color contrast and bigger tap targets across the app. Lighter and smoother • A smaller download, faster onboarding, and a long list of polish and fixes across the map, travel reels, and trip tracking. Thanks for exploring with us.

Random Quest, reimagined. • A storyteller introduces every quest. Each destination now comes with a short history of the place — a peek into what makes it worth going before you embark. • A whole new reveal. The picker spins, locks, and frosts over into a boarding-pass-style "Quest Issued" card. Distance, ETA, and the story all on one card. • Don't love it? Roll the dice. A new reroll button picks a fresh destination with the same mood, mode, and time. • Quests push your map. The picker now prefers destinations sitting in unexplored fog, so every Random Quest actively expands the part of your map you've cleared. • Smarter mood categories — refined Food, Nature, Adventure, and Hidden Gems for richer suburban results; added Hiking and Fishing under Nature. • Time-of-day awareness — Adventure picks respect late-night and early-morning hours. • No more dead-end widen prompts. The picker auto-relaxes filters and recycles previously-rejected spots when the pool runs thin, so you get a quest instead of a "try a wider area" dialog. • Mood/mode/time start fresh — preferences no longer pre-fill from your last quest. Pick consciously every time. First-run tutorials for the Map, Spots, Friends, and Stats tabs walk you through what each does. Lots more polish + fixes.

This release brings Sidequest to 9 languages: Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, plus English. AI chat replies in your language. Distances and dates use your locale's format. The whole app feels native wherever you are. Plus performance improvements throughout.
