A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before
you go.

Three students looking out over the colourful Side Quest campus
01How does Side Quest work?

Your real campus becomes an open world. As you walk, GPS moves your character with you. Find quests, campus relics, events and people nearby. Take a detour between classes.

02What about clubs and societies?

Their events are side quests too. Find the time, place and details in one dedicated university platform, instead of searching Instagram. Attend, check in and earn XP for taking part.

03XP? Relics? Explain.

XP is your progress through campus life: meet people, play a game or show up to an event. Explore to find relics and landmarks for your Atlas. A little LARP. A lot more to do.

04Can I create a side quest?

Pick a campus spot and say what you’re doing. Coffee, a study session, a game — or an idea of your own. Make it public or invite a few people.

05How do I meet people?

Find students nearby or people you’ve crossed paths with. Shared classes, interests and societies give you a starting point. Pick a quest together.

06When can I play at my uni?

The first beta opens at the University of Sydney. More universities coming soon. Join the waitlist and we’ll email when it’s ready. Choose “Somewhere else” for future campus updates.
