SideQuestr

Find hidden gems. Drop new ones. Explore together.

Now in open beta on TestFlight

SideQuestr is a live map of real-world spots dropped by real people — hidden benches with a view, local hangouts, abandoned warehouses, scenic lookouts, the bakery your friend swears by. No corporate listings. No clutter. Just the places people actually care about.

Built for the “what should we do tonight?” moment.

SideQuestr Explore page with search bar, category filters, and nearby spots — **Explore.** Browse what’s nearby, filter by category, and find hidden gems your friends already love.

What you get

A map, real spots, and a reason to go outside.

Live map, real spots

The app opens to a live map of spots around you. Every pin was dropped by a real person — no generic business listings.

Drop your own

Found somewhere worth sharing? Upload a photo, tag a category, drop the pin. Your spot joins the shared map permanently.

Record real visits

Go to a spot in person and log the visit. Visits are GPS-verified, so you can’t fake your way through the map.

Side quests with friends

Add friends, see what they’re discovering, and share your own finds. Exploration is better together.

Reviews & thumbs up

Leave a quick review or a thumbs up on spots you’ve been. Good ones rise to the top. Popular places surface naturally.

Complete your area

Track your progress through your zipcode and unlock badges as you hit more spots. Turn “I’m bored” into a side quest.

Join the beta

Free on TestFlight while SideQuestr is in open beta. You’ll need the Apple TestFlight app (also free) to install. Invite your friends — the map only gets better with more of you on it.

Why SideQuestr

Because “what should we do tonight?” deserves a better answer.

Not Google Maps

No law firms. No dentists. No clutter. Just the places people actually care about — dropped by users, not scraped from a directory.

Real-world action

Visits are GPS-verified within 100m of the spot. Nothing counts until you actually show up — this is an app that gets you outside.

Built for exploring with friends

Add friends, invite your contacts, see what they’re finding. Exploration is better when it’s shared.

A map that keeps growing

Every spot stays anchored to its real location. The more people contribute, the richer the map gets — for everyone.

Still in open beta

SideQuestr is live on TestFlight with early users exploring right now. Come build the map with us while we get ready for the full launch.
