We are a team of enthusiasts, united to inspire other people to travel and discover new places.

We are changing the way of travel. Anyone and anywhere can create or complete quests through the Urban Quest mobile app.

Urban Quest has no limits! For creating a quest you could use absolutely any city, route or theme - depends on the imagination of the creator. Our main goal is to make quests more fascinating!

To become our paid author, you will need to go step by step through our checklist:

1) Read all materials for authors

2) Enter into an agreement with us. It is necessary to write in it what kind of quest you want to create, its characteristics.

3) Sign the contract. After it, we will pay you 20% of the quest value based on the characteristics.

4) After the publication of the quest, we will pay the remaining 80%, depending on how the quest is completed.

To create a quest, you need:

1) Tell us about your quest, ideas and plot.

2) Conclude an agreement in which all aspects of the creation and payment will be indicated.

3) Read all materials for authors.

4) Then you can start creating a quest. Open Google Docs, and create a text version of the quest in it. Set up access to commenting on the document.

5) Check the quest according to the checklist.

6) Upload the quest to the app (IOS и Android) in private mode or via the web version for authors.

7) Send us:

a) Link to the quest in Google Docs with commenting access;

b) Checklist, in which all the points are completed, including the completed quest under the admin panel in your profile or friend's profile;

c) Along with this, publish the quest in the private mode of the application (IOS и Android).

8) We will make our comments and corrections if required. (moderation takes up to 2 weeks)

9) After publication, we will send you the estimated cost of the quest and make payment.

It all depends on how quickly you solve all the riddles. Basically, it can take an hour or a half.

You do not need to worry about this, if you can not guess the riddle, you can always refer to the hints.

We are always happy to see little travelers playing in Urban Quest. The main thing is to carefully look at the description of the quest. If at the beginning of the quest there is no age limit, then any child can take part in that game.

Our authors have been trying to create quests with points as close as possible to each other, but sometimes walking paths may not exist or may be inconvenient, so in the beginning of the Quest author may ask you to use transport, such as the metro or bus.

In our application there are no restrictions on the number of players, the main thing is how comfortable it will be for you to complete the quest from one phone.

We recommend writing a quest on a computer through your personal account at https://create.quest.team
When you are creating a quest, you should initially check the box that the quest is private, so that you can then make adjustments yourself, if any are required.

Any quest can be edited in the application and in the web interface before publication. After publication, only private quests can be edited.

A public quest is available for all users, and a private quest is only for those to whom you send the link. Also, public quests are moderated, and only after that they become available in the application. We recommend creating a private quest first, and then, after you and your friends go through it and make sure that the quest does not contain errors, make it public.

Yes you can. And that’s exactly what we advise you to do before publishing a public quest. This will help to avoid mistakes, because you will have the opportunity to check the quest yourself and send it to friends for testing.

When you writing a quest, a nice addition is to assign a theme to the quest. For example, to make a quest on behalf of the Van Gosh about his favorite places in Arles or to tell about the magical land of Harry Potter, immersing him in the atmosphere of this work.

The riddle must be original. Think of a riddle in any style you like: logical, associative, encryption.
- Make a riddle that the player will have to think about in order to get an answer, and not just ask directly for a specific fact.

- Search for a hidden place with geolocation check.

- Search in a specific place for a QR code with verification of its image. Think about exactly where and how to put a hidden inscription or a QR code so that the search process is interesting for the player

A QR code is automatically generated during task creation. After that, it will need to be displayed in some way in an accessible place for the players: it can be a printed sheet of paper with a code, or it can be an image of a code on a digital medium. For example, one of our authors hid a QR code in a picture.

Depends on the load of moderators. The editing takes goes in this way: the authors needed to sent the quest for moderation. After which the moderators make comments and corrections within two weeks. Then the authors correct the comments and sent quest for moderation again. The moderators, in turn, review these corrections for two weeks and decide whether the quest is ready. Moderators are trying to help make quests more interesting and exciting, feel free to send them your quests, they will be happy :)

We conclude a contract. After the publication of the quest, we check it and we pay for your work. That is, payment for the work is in fact.

Fixed Payment for the first 100 quests:

≈10 tasks + 10 narratives = €55

Plus we pay extra:

+ for an interesting Plot = up to €65
+ for an unusual Route = up to €50

+ for a non-standard Riddles = up to €50
+ for Translation of the quest into one of the popular languages = €35

+ 30% from the purchase of each quest
+ 5% from each published quest of the author that you brought

Prices may vary depending on the quantity and quality of assignments and narratives

Fixed Payment for the first 100 quests:

≈ 10 tasks + 10 narratives = €20

Plus we pay extra:
+ for an interesting Plot = up to €40
+ for a non-standard Riddles = up to €35
+ for Translation of the quest into one of the popular languages = €35

See how much you can earn thanks to your imagination without leaving your home!

We conclude a contract with the authors, in which we prescribe the deadlines for the quest and the amount of payment. The contract can be concluded for an indefinite period, taking into account the fact that the author will send a list of further quests and undertakes to write them, otherwise the contract is concluded only for the transfer of one quest.

Firstly, the web has a viewing function and you can see how tasks on the phone screen will look like.

Secondly, you can make the quest private, publish it and go through without sending it to the review.

Then, if you find inaccuracies in the created quest, you can easily correct inaccuracies in the application or web interface.

You can become an author of quests and create them in the web interface. After you become a creator you will be provide with a short instruction in the application.

After that, you can create and edit quests on the computer.

The quest may be rejected for various reasons, and we indicate these reasons in the letter. If these are just technical flaws, then go through the quest again, fix all the mistakes, and send again for moderation. If you do not agree with the opinion of the editors - write or call us, we are always happy to talk!
