QuestN Review

Earning tokens, NFTs, and other prizes for completing simple tasks? Believe it or not, crypto quest platforms make it a reality. In this QuestN review, I’ll introduce you to one such platform.

I’ll get into more detail about what is QuestN in a second, but put very briefly, it’s a space where various Web3 projects and communities create incentivized quests with the aim of bringing new users to their initiatives.

So, unlike some quest platforms that offer their own quests or missions (such as BitDegree, for example), QuestN acts as a host for projects that want to launch their quests.

It all sounds a bit too good to be true, though. Are there any catches?

Verdict at a glance: QuestN is a quest launchpad that offers a wide array of quests and events with lucrative prizes, including tokens, NTFs, Whitelist spots, and more. Notably, QuestN places a strong emphasis on marketing, helping Web3 projects grow. Thus, its quests usually involve tasks that require participants to complete social media or specific project-based actions.

What is QuestN?

Let’s start off this QuestN review by looking deeper into the core question – what is QuestN, exactly?

If you’ve searched for QuestN reviews on Google, you might have noticed that most of the ones that pop up are for Meta Quest 3 (a VR headset developed by Reality Labs). However, know that they have nothing in common (apart from a similar name).

QuestN is a relatively new quest platform incubated by GM Labs and launched in 2022. Primarily, it was known as Quest3 (funny how the name is almost the same as that of the VR headset), but it was later rebranded to QuestN. As the company claims, the main purpose of this rebrand was to better portray the essence of the platform.

The suffix “3” symbolized the fact that QuestN was launched to help Web3 projects spread the word about themselves, and grow. After all, the Web3 space faces a lot of challenges^[1] when it comes to global integration. While this didn’t change (and still remains the key focus), the new suffix “N” means “non-specified number”, suggesting that the platform does not plan to confine itself solely to one field.

Overall, QuestN is made of two branches – B-end and C-end. The former is a permissionless business portal, while the latter is a user-end portal for questers.

What I’ve noticed is that it places more emphasis on the B-end portal, positioning itself as a Growth as a Service (GaaS) platform catering to "Marketing, Growth, and Analysis." However, the name "QuestN" itself, which stands for "Quest to Earn," acknowledges the platform’s commitment to quest solvers as well.

Is QuestN legit, though? Let’s dive into QuestN features and find out!

QuestN Review: PROS

I usually like to evaluate platforms and services through the good old pros and cons lens, so let's continue this QuestN review doing exactly that. To kick things off, I’ll first talk about what QuestN does well, starting with its quests and events.

Short Quests and Exciting Events

When it comes to tasks on QuestN, it’s important to understand the difference between quests and events.

So, a quest is made up of different tasks, which could include both on-chain and off-chain actions. It has its own rewards and prizes, and it could be a part of an event or a standalone quest.

I’ll discuss possible prizes in the next subchapter. Now, let’s talk about the task variety. It actually is pretty wide, but the majority of the tasks include social media actions or direct interactions with the project in question.

For example, you might be asked to follow a platform’s X (formerly Twitter) account, join a Discord channel or visit their website and do something there.

While there is the possibility of including other tasks as well, like Q&As, surveys, quizzes, and so on, I didn’t really notice much of these in the quests I’ve checked. After all, the main aim of these quests is for businesses and communities to attract new users.

Just note that both quests and events are created by the projects behind them rather than QuestN. The latter only provides a quest creation dashboard with templates.

Now, what I did notice while going through quests is that you could also be asked to verify something personal, like your email account, the total amount of gas fees you’ve spent, or your wallet balance. Also, you could be asked to do some Proof of Work tasks, which might require you to buy a certain token or an NFT.

While there's nothing wrong with these tasks, and they do serve as a means for companies to confirm a participant's platform usage, they can be intimidating. Quest-solvers are often unwilling to spend their money on a task and hesitant to share personal information.

If you’re that person, too, I suggest checking out BitDegree’s Missions and Web3 Exam. It doesn’t require you to reveal any personal information, and even the blockchain tasks (swapping, for example) are executed on a testnet, so you don’t have to spend a penny. Besides, you can win some amazing prizes and learn a lot about Web3.

Okay, enough about quests. What about events? How do they work? Well, there’s not that much to say about them. Just know that events are made up of multiple quests. To become eligible for event prizes, you’ll need to complete a certain number of quests.

You might need to complete all quests or only half of them – this is all in the hands of the project(s) behind the event. Yes, an event can be made by one project or by several projects. In fact, it’s pretty common to create events for large-scale joint activities between several projects.

That being said, another thing I want to discuss in my QuestN review is what kind of rewards and prizes one can win through these quests and events.

Several Prize Distribution Mechanisms

Let's face it: rewards often serve as the powerful motivation^[2] that propels people to embark on quests and other endeavors. While there are some people who genuinely enjoy completing tasks simply for the sake of finding out new things, most “do it for the money”. Especially if we’re talking about tasks like “follow a project on X” or “post an Instagram story”.

So, what is the case with QuestN rewards?

For starters, each quest and event offers QuestN points as a base reward. This means that every successful participant gets these points. What can you do with them?

Well, they elevate your standing within the specific community related to the quest you've tackled. In return, you might unlock exclusive perks within that community, like special rewards, early access to new features, coveted invites to closed groups, and whatnot. Just remember, points are community-specific and can't be transferred between different ones.

You can also get badges for your achievements on QuestN. Of course, these are mostly for the sake of motivation and bragging rights. Apart from collecting them and showing them off, you can't really do much else with them.

Now, talking about prizes you might (or might not) win, you have various options to aim for, including tokens, NFTs, Discord roles, airdrops and even Whitelist spots.

Token, NFT, and Discord role prizes are pretty self-explanatory. What about Whitelist spots? In essence, they open doors to exclusive access to ICOs or NFT launch events, offering unique opportunities for participants. As for airdrops, they provide you with a chance to get some free tokens or NFTs as well.

Moving further, it’s also important to note that there are two types of prize mechanisms on QuestN – FCFS and Lucky Draw.

FCFS stands for “first come, first served” and means exactly that. There is a set number of prizes on a quest, and those who first complete it will immediately get the reward.

I saw several QuestN reviews highlighting this as a con, but I think it’s a pretty good way to distribute rewards. Sure, you need to be “the first”, but you will claim your reward immediately. Thus, you won’t have to wonder if your stars align, and you’ll be one of the Lucky Draw winners.

Speaking of which, with a Lucky Draw mechanism, the principle is similar in that there is a set number of prizes as well. However, participants must wait until the quest is closed and winners are chosen at random.

Okay, we’ve covered tasks and rewards in this QuestN review. Now, let’s proceed to one of the main QuestN features – its quest launchpad.

Quest Launchpad Without Thresholds

As you already know, QuestN provides projects and communities with an extensive quest launchpad, which allows creating permissionless on-chain and off-chain quests. There is a variety of different tasks and rewards that can be included in these quests, but I’ve already covered those.

Now, I want to shift the focus of my QuestN review to the business portal itself. Who can create quests?

Basically anyone. This is what sets QuestN apart from some other quest launchpads. No matter how big or small your project or community is, you can easily create a quest to advertise your initiative and attract new users.

Some other popular quest platforms might restrict quest creation to larger B-end customers. QuestN, on the other hand, has maintained an inclusive approach without any limitations.

This means that not only established businesses but also various small communities and DAOs can publish tasks that often revolve around promotional efforts.

QuestN even offers a program for KOLs, more commonly known as influencers. Of course, this program is not about quest creation but about their promotion, which is a huge plus for B-end users.

Besides, B-end users are provided with convenient quest templates, and they can use them completely for free, as there are no QuestN pricing plans or QuestN fees.

Though, this might make you wonder, “Is QuestN legit?” or “Is QuestN safe?”.

Well, to ensure the legitimacy of its business clients, QuestN requires them to link their official websites and social media accounts. While this might not be the most reliable measure, you can definitely say a lot about a platform from its communication and the way its services function.

Moreover, for the tasks that offer rewards with real-world value (like tokens or NFTs), projects are required to deposit the rewards into a vault on QuestN before the said quests are launched.

In addition to that, the legitimacy of projects can be evaluated based on their communities on QuestN. You see, before creating any quest, a project has to create a community. Once they do that, any quests they create will be displayed in one place.

While we’re on the topic of communities, it’s worth noting that there is a 5-tier loyalty program that provides communities with various benefits, including quest traffic boost, QuestN retweets of events on X, priority customer support, and so on.

To increase their community levels, projects have to earn XP. They can do that by completing various tasks, starting from picking a community category and going all the way to attracting a set number of followers or participants to their quests. You can find thorough instructions on how to use QuestN features for communities in the platform’s help center.

Now, let’s talk about the other side of the coin in this QuestN review – the C-end portal for those who want to solve quests (I myself belong to this group).

Quests Categorized Based on Your Needs

Even though QuestN advertises itself more for B-end users, it’s only natural that it puts effort into ensuring a satisfactory experience for its C-end users, too. After all, without happy questers, there would be no happy business clients.

So, how to use QuestN if you’re looking for a quest? There’s a pretty convenient categorization system set in place.

You can explore the platform’s offerings in a few ways. For one, you can check out recommended quests and events. If you want a chance to win more rewards, you should probably check out events because they are made up of several quests.

Moreover, you can explore quests based on different communities or even chains. For instance, maybe you want to solve some quests related to the OKX platform. Or, maybe you’re interested in exploring more projects built on the Polygon chain.

If you’re reward-orientated, you can even explore quests based on the rewards they offer. To be more precise, you can specifically search for quests that offer tokens, NFTs, or Whitelist spots as rewards. That’s a pretty nifty feature, for sure.

The best part is that not only are there no QuestN fees, but some of the quests from several communities on BSC are gasless. This means that QuestN will cover the gas fees that come with claiming your rewards.

Now, once you pick a quest, you’ll be able to see all the tasks you need to complete, together with the project description and the prizes you can win. Just keep in mind that if you pick an event, it will have multiple quests, which means that you have to complete a set number of quests to qualify for event rewards.

You’ll also notice a QuesterCamp section in the navigation bar above. This is a place where you can see all your quests, including those that are pending, claimable, claimed, or even missed. Also, you can see all your followed communities here.

That’s pretty much all there is to say about the user-end portal. Now, let’s tip the scales and see what the platform lacks.

QuestN Review: CONS

Up to this point in my QuestN review, I’ve discussed what the platform does well. However, not everything is sunshine and rainbows, right?

Somewhat Confusing User Interface

You should already have a pretty good grasp of how to use QuestN, and it likely appears quite user-friendly. With the previously described quest categorization and clearly laid-out quest pages, I do agree that it all seems straightforward.

However, I must confess that my initial impression was a bit different. When I first delved into the platform, I found it a tad confusing.

For example, as I explored, I noticed that there are quest pages, but then there are also event pages, which look similar but are not the same. Besides, some projects described their quests thoroughly, while others lacked in their communicational skills. I also didn’t quite understand how the reward system works.

What I’m trying to say is that, despite reading several QuestN reviews that praise its ease of use, my personal perspective is a bit different. I’d say it becomes user-friendly once you've gained a better understanding of how everything works on the platform overall.

It might have something to do with the design of the website. While it looks trendy and colorful, I think it’s not the most user-friendly choice.

Greater Emphasis on Marketing-Focused Quests

Another aspect that is not a con from the business perspective, but might be one for C-end users is that QuestN has a stronger inclination towards marketing. After all, their slogan is “Marketing, Growth and Analysis For Web3”.

Now, don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean it's all about pushing products and promotions. It just means that you'll come across a lot of social tasks that are more geared towards advertising objectives.

Of course, again, there is nothing wrong with that. If you’re all about getting rewards for completing tasks and discovering new Web3 projects, QuestN is an attractive option.

However, if your primary goal is learning about how the Web3 space works, for example, you might want to choose quests on a platform that’s focused on educating the masses, not growing companies. A great example would be BitDegree Missions. Speaking of other quest platforms…

QuestN VS Alternatives

The Web3 quest-providing platform space is quite niche and limited as of writing. However, there definitely are some industry leaders. Thus, the last topic I want to delve into in my QuestN review is how it compares with other platforms that provide similar services.

QuestN VS BitDegree

Let’s begin with the fact that QuestN and BitDegree are quite different platforms in general. QuestN, as you already know, is a quest launchpad. BitDegree, on the other hand, is an all-in-one Web3 learning hub.

However, it recently rolled out Web3 Exam and Missions that are somewhat similar to QuestN’s events and quests. They share the common thread of offering participants free enrollment, task-based rewards, and a chance to explore some Web3 platforms. However, the similarities stop there.

As I’ve mentioned before in this QuestN review, the platform is focused on providing Web3 projects with new users and marketing opportunities. BitDegree, on the other hand, is all about educating the masses about the Web3 space.

Therefore, the tasks offered by BitDegree and QuestN differ too. Sure, you can find a few social media actions and platform-based tasks on BitDegree, too, but you’ll also find a variety of Q&As, open-ended questions, multiple-choice quizzes and so on. Many of those tasks are accompanied by built-in educational content pieces.

Besides, the format of BitDegree’s quests also differs from QuestN. The latter mainly features tasks that make you jump back and forth between social media channels or the official websites of the projects in question. The former, though, displays tasks in a fun and gamified way where most of the action happens inside BitDegree’s Web3 Exam and Mission interfaces.

Reward-wise, QuestN and BitDegree are quite similar. However, apart from platform-native points, tokens, and NFTs, on BitDegree, you can also win other amazing prizes like subscription plans on popular Web3 platforms or even physical rewards like Ledger hardware crypto wallets.

In addition to that, BitDegree’s Web3 Exam provides all successful participants with free NFT Certificates of Completion.

Your end decision depends on what you’re looking for more – a way to get familiar with new Web3 platforms or a fun, educational, and rewarding journey through the Web3 world as a whole.

QuestN VS Zealy

Now, QuestN and Zealy are more similar in that they both are quest launchpads that allow other projects to create quests.

However, while QuestN reviews mention that it focuses on Web3 project growth and marketing, Zealy is all about communities and the promotion of knowledge-sharing. It creates a space where users can engage in quests that emphasize learning, intellectual challenges, and the exchange of insights.

Task-wise, both QuestN and Zealy quests usually include social interactions, like inviting friends, following the platform’s X account, retweeting a post, and so on. While these platforms offer other types of tasks as well, quest creators (projects and communities) tend to pick those that bring more traffic to them.

The distinguishing factor between these platforms lies in their rewards. Sure, they both operate on a similar premise: complete tasks, earn points (XP), and potentially gain extra rewards if the quest creator offers them.

However, I’ve noticed that Zealy quests are often limited to XP-based rewards, whereas QuestN frequently features quests with additional prizes beyond just points.

Nevertheless, the differences between these platforms are not that big. You might just get a bit smoother user experience on Zealy, but QuestN often provides more lucrative rewards.

QuestN VS Galxe

Galxe is also a part of the quest launchpad bandwagon. Though, similarly to Zealy, it is community-oriented. Thus, it doesn’t put so much emphasis on marketing purposes as QuestN does. Besides, note that it refers to quests as “campaigns”.

Talking about quests, when it comes to tasks included in them, on Galxe, you’ll also find quite a lot of social media interactions. After all, it does focus on community building, which means that the communities that create campaigns will seek to grow.

Though, Galxe differs from QuestN in that its offerings don’t end here. For example, it also offers educational Web3 Missions that teach participants about DAOs, DeFi, NFTs, and so on. On top of that, there’s this thing called Galxe ID, which is a digital identity service that provides you with an ID for Web3 exploration.

When it comes to rewards, though, you’ll find them very similar to what QuestN offers – points, NFTs, tokens, Discord roles, and so on.

Eventually, the choice between QuestN and Galxe hinges on your specific goals and interests. If you’re all about being part of a community and learning about Web3, though, Galxe might be a more suitable choice.

Conclusions

At the beginning of this QuestN review, I posed a question – are there any catches? So, are there?

Well, not really. QuestN, indeed, is a quest launchpad that provides businesses with a way to advertise themselves and attract new users through incentivized quests. At the same time, questers get a chance to learn about new Web3 platforms and claim some lucrative rewards.

However, while QuestN suits individuals seeking a casual questing experience with minimal task complexity and the allure of rewards, those eager to delve into the Web3 realm's educational aspects should explore platforms like BitDegree. It not only offers attractive rewards, but also in-depth knowledge and insights into the leading projects, making it an ideal choice for curious learners in the Web3 space.

That being said, pick a Mission today and unleash your inner explorer.
