SideQuest.

Local discovery. Small beginnings.

Your city has secrets.
Go find them.

SideQuest starts with a simple idea: turn overlooked local spots into reasons to get outside. Follow our 30-day roadmap to test it with a phone, a social page, and a little curiosity.

01 — The idea

Make the familiar
feel like a discovery.

A tucked-away courtyard. A tiny independent shop. A street you always pass but never explore. SideQuest is a local discovery concept built around the places that deserve a second look.

The first version isn’t an app. It’s a curated social feed: one place, one story, and one easy reason to go.

Your first discovery post
A field note, not an ad.
  1. Find it. Choose a publicly accessible spot you’ve visited yourself.
  2. Tell the story. Take a phone photo and explain what makes it worth the detour.
  3. Make it easy. Include the location, practical details, and any costs to expect.

02 — The launch plan

30 days.
One real-world test.

Skip the big build. Use the first month to find out whether people want to explore with you.

Your starter kit

A phone, a free social media page, and free design tools. Keep travel and any entry costs within your own budget.

  1. 01

    Days 01–07

    Pick your patch

    Choose one neighborhood and a clear angle. Walk it, collect a shortlist of spots, and settle on a simple visual style for your page.

  2. 02

    Days 08–14

    Put the first stories out

    Visit your shortlist and publish your first discovery posts. Use your own photos, check practical details, and give each post a clear location.

  3. 03

    Days 15–21

    Listen to the locals

    Ask what people saved, visited, or want to see next. Invite suggestions and track meaningful replies—not just follower counts.

  4. 04

    Days 22–30

    Choose your next move

    Review which stories earned genuine interest. Keep what worked, change what didn’t, and only then consider partnerships, paid guides, or an app.

03 — Take the first detour

Big idea.
Small first step.

Pick a neighborhood. Find one place worth sharing. That’s where your SideQuest begins.
