Ensure App Setup: Before inviting, make sure your teammates have downloaded the app and created an account on their phones.
Inviting via QR Code:
  • Open the game page in the app 
  • Share the QR code displayed with your team. They can scan it directly, which will link the game to their account.
Inviting via Email:
  • Alternatively, you can input their email address in the invitation screen.

7.  How to add your kids to the adventure

For children under 16 years old, we kindly request that adults refrain from creating an account using the child's information, as we do not store data for individuals under 16 years old. Instead, we recommend that adults share the experience and content from their own device with the children.

If the adult prefers the child to play on their own phone, there are two options:

  1. The child can use the adult's account to access the quest.
  2. The adult can create a separate account for the child using a different email address that the adult has access to, without disclosing the child's personal information.

For help with the invite, contact our team at Chat or care@questoapp.com. 

8. How to pause the game

There is no dedicated pause button in the game. However, you can take a break anytime after completing a challenge or before starting the next chapter. Simply close the app and return whenever you’re ready — your progress will be saved, and you can continue the game from where you left off.
