#BuyBeforeYouFly #SideQuestTravel #OsakaSideQuest
A side quest is a small, self-contained challenge you can complete wherever you happen to be standing. Side Quest is a free browser-based travel game from Buy Before You Fly: you tell it which city you are exploring, choose the kind of adventure you are in the mood for, and it hands you something unexpected to do. Every quest is built from an objective, a constraint that makes it interesting, and an optional bonus — so instead of another list of the same twenty attractions, you get a reason to walk down a different street, order something you cannot pronounce, or look at one painting for twenty minutes.
There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. It works on the phone in your pocket, in the gap between a late checkout and an evening flight, or on a full free day in a city you have never visited.
Markets, bakeries, street food and the dish locals order without looking at the menu.
One room, one object, one story — museum challenges that beat drifting past everything.
The landmark experiences, with a twist that stops them feeling like a checklist.
Neighbourhood walks, wrong turns on purpose and streets guidebooks skip.
Small photo missions that train you to notice details other travellers walk past.
Language, music, craft, ritual and everyday life where you happen to be standing.
Parks, water, viewpoints and green detours between the busy bits.
The small, quiet, odd and overlooked corners of a city.
Side Quest has no accounts, no friend lists and no leaderboards to join — which is exactly what makes it easy to play together. Everyone opens the page on their own phone, plays the same city, and compares screenshots at dinner. Agree on a target before you split up: first to 500 points, most quests completed before sunset, or one epic quest each. Points are kept in your own browser, so the only scoreboard is the one you keep between you.
Side Quest is free and always will be. When you want the rest of the trip sorted, the same site covers it:
Country-by-country guides, things to do and short itineraries.
Arrivals, transport, wi-fi, food and connections for major hubs.
Mobile data in 200+ destinations, installed before you land.
A downloadable plan built around your pace, interests and budget.
