Verified Curated Events
Events are carefully selected by our team of local experts
What makes Sidequest different?
Currently in beta: Our mission is to create a real-time, personalized platform for authentic local experiences
CURRENT BETA Curated Hidden Gems
Right now, our map exclusively features hand-picked events by approved Quest Masters. During this beta phase, we're limiting the number of events to ensure quality and proper curation.
COMING SOON Community Event Discoveries
Our next development goal is to enable users to submit cool pop-ups and events they discover in the wild. After verification that these are genuine public events (not self-promoted), we'll add them to the map, expanding our coverage of hidden gems that anyone can experience.
FUTURE VISION Real-time, Personalized & Everywhere
Our core mission is to build a platform that delivers real-time updates on what's happening right now, with personalized recommendations that match your unique interests. We'll expand beyond NYC & Stamford to bring hidden gems and "sidequests" everywhere—not just major cities, but any place where unique experiences happen.
