Create your first quest
Choose how the quest runs and who pays for it, pick what people do, set it up one section at a time, and publish.
On this page
Before you start
- A platform you have added. Quests show only once it is Live.
- For a Paid quest, credits in Rewards and credits. For a Network boost quest, boost credit earned by one of your platforms.
Step 1: Choose how it runs
Choose Create, then Quest. With no quests yet, Create your first quest on the Quests page does the same. Under Choose how this quest runs, pick one:
| Choice | Who sees it | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| Private | People on one of your own platforms. | Free. A number of Private quests each week, shown on the card. It resets on Monday. |
| Paid | People across the AdQuest network. | Your credits. |
| Network boost | People across the AdQuest network. | Boost credit one of your platforms has earned. |
For Private, pick the platform under On which platform? For Network boost, pick it under Whose boost credit? Then choose Next.
Step 2: Pick a format
The next page, What should people do?, groups the formats into Get seen, Ask, Drive an action and Bring them back. Open one to see How it plays and what You will set up, then choose Use this quest. Formats marked Own platform only work with Private quests. Each format has its own set-up page:
Step 3: Set it up and send
Work through the sections on the left: Basics (name and language), the format’s own section (Video, Banner, Questions, Steps or Rules), Reward, Schedule and Review. Only fields marked * are needed.
Under Reward, a Private quest pays AdQuest tokens, delivered automatically, or Your own reward, which your developer delivers through a webhook.
Under Schedule, choose 7, 14 or 30 days to start now, or set Start and End yourself. Limits are optional.
Watch the preview on the right: it is what people will see. Save as Draft at the top keeps your work for later.
When the checklist says Ready to publish, choose Publish Quest. A Paid or Network boost quest then asks how much to set aside: pick an amount and choose Publish with credits or Publish with boost.
What happens next
| You see | It means |
|---|---|
| Quest created | It is live. Quests that need no review publish straight away. |
| Quest submitted | An admin reviews it and sets its reward before it goes live. |
| Draft saved | Nothing is published yet. Finish it from the Draft tab on the Quests page. |
The tabs on the Quests page, Needs changes, Live, Scheduled, In review, Draft, Paused and Ended, show where each quest stands. Anything that waits on you also appears under Needs you on Home.
Change a quest
Open the quest and choose Edit quest. You can change Basics, the format’s content, Schedule and the bonus code, then choose Save changes. Changes to a live quest reach new people straight away. Reward and audience are fixed once a quest goes live: to change them, duplicate the quest from its More menu.
Live but not showing?
A live quest can still be hidden from someone. Check the schedule, the audience, the budget and limits, and whether that person already finished it. Test with a real person who is eligible.
