Sidequest quest in action: turn-by-turn route to a quest destination

Custom Routes

Tell us the mood, the time, the transit. We'll plot a route to somewhere you'd never have found on your own.

Hidden Gems

The unmarked, the half-secret, the worth-the-detour. Spots that don't show up in tourist guides.

Made For Explorers

Built for the kind of person who chooses the long way home and asks the bartender what's good around here.

The map you reveal yourself. Walk to reveal your map

Sidequest's map starts under fog. Every block you walk in real life clears the fog above it. Your neighborhood, your city, the world: slowly drawn by the places you've actually been.

No step counter, no streak shame. Just a real map of where you've actually stood.

Start a sidequest
to somewhere unexpected.

Two minutes of tapping. A walking, biking, or driving route. A few hours that don't feel like the rest of your week. We do the planning so you can do the wandering.

Your travels visualized.

Every trip fills in another country, another state, another corner of the city. Watch a quiet globe slowly bloom with the places you've actually stood, not the places you've scrolled past.

A local guide in your pocket.

Wonder what to order. Wonder when to come back. Wonder what the locals know that Yelp doesn't. Sidequest answers with the kind of specific, opinionated guidance you'd get from a friend who's actually been there.

Ask in plain English. Get answers grounded in real spots, real menus, real reviews. Not a generic chatbot's guess.

Share the places worth detouring for.

Add a friend, and the spots you've saved show up as pins on their map. Leave a note about why a place is worth their time. They'll see it the next time they're nearby.

The best recommendations have always come from people who know your taste. Sidequest just makes them part of the map.

Start your sidequest.

Stop scrolling. Start exploring.
