QuestFamily turns an ordinary trip to the park, the shops or the far side of the country into a scavenger hunt your kids actually want to finish — and one you did not have to invent. QUEST FIT: KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Every quest is scored out of 100 against YOUR family, before you leave the house. The score reads the clue text against your youngest reader's grade, the length of each stop against what a child that age can comfortably stay focused for, the walking against what their legs will happily do, the mix of challenge types against what your crew has already proved they are good at, and indoors against out. You get a plain-English reason for the score and one pip per child, so you can see it suits the ten-year-old and will lose the six-year-old. There is no AI and nothing is guessed — every part uses a published rule or your own history. THIRTY QUESTS, SIX PACKS Trailhead, Landmarks, Wild Trails, Museums, Road Trips and Rainy Days. Filter by how long you have, whether you want to be indoors or out, the theme, or the pack. A RUNNER BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES One stop at a time, five kinds of challenge, and a three-rung hint ladder that costs points but never blocks you. Skip a stop and the quest keeps going. Pause it and it survives closing the app. Run long and the app quietly offers the two least valuable stops to drop — never the finale. EVERYONE PLAYS, EVERYONE LEVELS UP Add the whole family, grown-ups included. Whoever solves a stop is credited and earns the points; everyone else on the run shares in it. Eight named ranks, sixteen embroidered patches with real earn conditions, and a weekly adventure streak measured against the cadence you chose. THE FAMILY PASSPORT One stamped page per finished adventure: who came, what you did, how you rated it, the memories you wrote down and pictures you add. Pictures are kept on your device only and are never uploaded. NO MAP, NO SIGNAL, NO DATA Quests are anchored to a kind of place, not a set of coordinates, and your crew confirms its own progress. There is no GPS and no tracking, so QuestFamily works on a mountain, in a museum basement, or abroad with the data switched off. WHAT'S FREE The whole Trailhead pack of ten quests, the entire quest runner, up to four explorers, every patch, the streak, reminders — and Quest Fit on every single quest, including the ones you have not bought, so you always know what you would be getting. QUESTFAMILY TRAILBLAZER (optional subscription) Five more packs (twenty extra quests), the weekend planner, Crew Insights, quests you write yourself with a live reading-level meter, unlimited explorers, your full passport history and the trail report. - $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. QuestFamily is a game, not a guide to any particular place. Grown-ups stay in charge of where the crew goes, road crossings, and who is watching the little ones.

Points Compass answers one question that no balance tracker will: what does waiting cost you? About a third of the travel rewards issued each year are never redeemed. Not because people lose them — because they hold them, waiting for a better redemption, while two things happen at once. Each point quietly loses value. And the trip they are saving for quietly gets more expensive in points. Points Compass prices both, separately, and adds them up. Type in what you hold. There is no airline login, no hotel login and no bank connection — the app is not connected to any of them and never asks. Name a trip and give it both prices, what it costs in points and what it costs in cash. Then the app draws two lines: the points you will hold over time, and the points the trip will cost over time. Where they meet is the earliest month you could book it. The gap between them, until that month, has a dollar figure — and the app shows you both halves of it. It is honest in both directions. Some currencies really are worth holding: when your miles have gained value over the year, or the award price has been flat, the app says so instead of telling you to spend. And when the points are the expensive way to buy a trip, it tells you to pay cash. What it works out for you: The month your balance finally covers the trip, and the cost of waiting for it, split into award inflation and devaluation. What each currency you hold is shedding, in dollars, every month. Where the hard expiry cliffs are, the last safe date to reset each one, and what hitting one would cost. Whether this particular redemption beats simply paying cash. Your real earning rate, derived from your own balance updates rather than typed in. And a log of every verdict the app has given, graded later against what actually happened — including the times it was wrong. Every figure is arithmetic you can see. Open "How this was worked out" on any verdict and the whole calculation is there, with every assumption editable. There is no score, and no number the app will not explain. Points Compass Pro, an optional subscription, adds unlimited trips compared side by side, burn order with the reason for every placement, transfer paths, the full month-by-month history, the complete decision log, and a plain-English second opinion written from your own numbers. It is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store account settings. The free plan is not a demo. It prices one trip completely, end to end, including the part this app exists for. Points Compass is an educational planning tool. Every cents-per-point, drift and award-inflation figure in it is an estimate you can change, not a live data feed. It recommends no financial product, opens no account, moves no money, and is not affiliated with any airline, hotel or card issuer. Always confirm award pricing and availability with the programme before you book or transfer. This is not financial advice.
