Play a Quest with a Local Host

Join an open group quest at a set time. You play through the Questo app, while a local host keeps the group moving, answers questions, shares context, and makes it feel social.

Tonight

Mystery walk through the old town

Meet your host, join the group, and follow clues through the city together.

How it works

The structure of a quest, with a human in the group

This is not a normal walking tour and not a self-guided quest alone. It is a scheduled group experience where the app gives the route, clues, challenges, and stories, while the host brings the local energy.

1

Pick a time

Choose an open group quest in the city you want to explore.

2

Get quest access

You buy access to the quest, then join the group at the starting point.

3

Meet the host

A local host welcomes everyone, keeps the group together, and answers questions.

4

Play with the group

You still use the Questo app: follow clues, solve challenges, and unlock stories.

5

Tip if you loved it

After the quest, you can leave a tip in the app. The host keeps 100% of it.

For players

A more social way to explore

Hosted quests are for people who want more than a map, but still want something more playful and flexible than following a guide with a scripted speech. Come alone, with a partner, or with friends.

For hosts

Run quests, meet people, earn tips

Hosts can be guides, locals, creators, or people who simply enjoy bringing groups together. Players pay for quest access, and any tip they leave after the experience goes entirely to the host.

Upcoming hosted quests

No hosted quests here yet

You can still play quests self-guided in the app — or apply to host one yourself and bring players together in your city.

1

Apply to host

Tell us who you are, where you want to host, and why you would be good with groups.

2

Get approved

Questo reviews host applications so players know they are joining someone reliable.

3

Create scheduled events

Once approved, you can host open group sessions for Questo quests at set times.

4

Earn tips

Players pay Questo for quest access. If they enjoy your hosting, they can tip you in the app.

Good to know

Tips are optional, and hosts keep all of them

The ticket covers access to the quest. If players loved the hosted experience, they can leave a tip in the app after the quest. Questo does not take a cut from host tips.
