Questly is where you find and share new, unique things to do — built for finding your next side quest, meeting new people, and trying new things. Most apps show you a curated list of places that existed yesterday. Questly shows you what's actually happening this second — because it's built from real posts by real people who are there right now. HOW IT WORKS See a live band at a bar, a pickup basketball game, a farmers market, a food truck with a line out the door? Post it. Takes seconds: snap a photo, tag the spot, add a caption. Everyone nearby who opens Questly sees it — and can decide to go. DISCOVER WHAT'S AROUND YOU The Quest screen is a live map and list of everything happening nearby, ranked by what's actually buzzing right now — not just star ratings from months ago. Filter by category, tap into any venue for details, hours, and what people are saying. EVENTS, MADE SIMPLE Host a public or private event in a couple taps. Invite friends, track who's going, message your guest list, and add it straight to your calendar. Public events are open for anyone to discover and RSVP to; private ones stay between you and your invite list. STAY CONNECTED Add friends, see their activity on a shared calendar, and keep a real-time pulse on what your circle is up to. Like and comment on posts, share your favorite moments straight to Instagram Stories, and build a following as you explore your city. VENUE PAGES THAT ACTUALLY HELP Every venue has a real page — hours, photos, ratings, upcoming events, and reviews from actual Questly users, not just star counts. Get directions in one tap. BUILT FOR SMALL BUSINESSES TOO Bars, restaurants, and local spots can claim their venue, post their own events, and get discovered by people actively looking for something to do nearby — for free, with no marketing budget required. Questly is for anyone who's ever opened five apps looking for something to do and found nothing happening. Download it, find your next side quest, and Live More.
