✨ Built for Storytellers & Independent Creators

Turn Your Story Into an Epic Quest — Share It With the World

SideQueso uses AI to turn any story, world, or passion project into an interactive quest your audience can actually play — complete with branching choices, collectible characters, and a link you can share anywhere. No app required. No platform middleman.

You've built something worth experiencing. The world is still scrolling past it.

Passive content — blog posts, videos, podcasts — fights for a second of attention before the next swipe. Interactive quests make your audience stop, choose, and care what happens next.

📜

Great Stories Deserve More Than a Blog Post

You've put real time and craft into your world or subject. A static article or post asks nothing of your audience — a quest gives them a role to play in it.

📲

You Can't Compete With the Scroll

Short-form video is engineered for passive consumption. A quest is the opposite — it demands active choices, rewards curiosity, and creates a reason to share what happened.

🔗

Platform Dependency Is a Risk

Social algorithms change overnight. Newsletter deliverability fluctuates. A quest lives at a URL you own, spreads by QR code and direct link, and works independently of any platform.

🤝

Audiences Consume — But Don't Connect

One-way content builds an audience but rarely builds a community. Quests create shared experiences and collectible moments that give people something to talk about and revisit.

From your story to a playable quest — without learning to code.

You bring the story. SideQueso brings the quest engine. Your audience brings their curiosity.

1

Share Your Source Material

Paste a URL to your article, world-building doc, podcast episode page, or any written source about your story or topic. The AI reads it and begins drafting.

Works with any web-readable text — your own website, Medium articles, Substack posts, Wikipedia, personal Google Docs, PDFs — if it can be read, it can become a quest.

2

AI Builds the Quest Draft

Grok AI generates a complete quest: a storyline that fits your world, named characters drawn from your content, trivia and decision points, and collectible trading cards with unique AI artwork.

You review and customize every character name, every question, every branch. The AI handles the scaffolding; you make it yours.

3

Share a Link or QR Code

Your audience opens the quest in any browser — no app download, no account required. Share the link in a newsletter, post a QR code at an event, embed it on your site.

Players earn collectible cards and progress through your story. Each unique card is a shareable artifact that spreads your world further.

Fast first quest draft from your existing content
0 app downloads required for your audience
unique collectible cards — one per character
Yours you own the story, you approve every detail

Everything an independent creator needs to turn content into an experience.

No dev skills required. No platform gatekeeping. Just your story, made playable.

🧙

AI Quest Generation

Paste any URL or write a brief. The AI produces a complete quest draft — premise, branching storyline, characters, trivia, and collectibles — all grounded in your source material.

🃏

Collectible Trading Cards

Every character in your quest becomes a collectible card with unique AI-generated artwork. Players earn them by playing — and they become shareable artifacts tied to your world.

📖

Branching Storylines

Players choose their path through your story. Multiple branches mean different players surface different content, and the same quest rewards multiple replays.

🎨

Creator Dashboard

Build, review, and manage all your quests from one interface. Review AI drafts, edit characters and storylines, set publishing status, and see engagement data.

🔗

Share Anywhere — No Platform Required

Every quest lives at a URL you own. Share via newsletter, QR code at events, embed on your site, or post directly to social. Works independently of any algorithm.

💰

What Creators Ask Us First

Do I need to write the quest myself or does the AI do it? +

The AI generates the full first draft — storyline, characters, branching choices, trivia questions, and collectible card concepts — all from the source material you provide. You then review, edit, and approve everything before it goes live. Think of it as a co-writer that handles the scaffolding so you can focus on the craft.

Who owns the quest and the characters I create? +

Your story is yours. We do not use your content to train AI models, and we do not claim ownership of quests built from your material. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

My audience doesn't need an account? How does that work? +

Players open the quest URL or scan a QR code and start playing immediately in their browser. No account, no app download. Their progress is stored locally during the session. Optional lightweight identity (nickname, email) will be available in future tiers for leaderboards and collectible persistence.

Is this free? What does it cost to publish? +

Generating and previewing a quest draft is free today. Paid tiers for publishing, analytics, and premium features are in development. We're building creator-friendly pricing — early interest submissions like this help us shape what that looks like.

How can I actually make money from my quests? +

Several monetization paths are on the roadmap. Here's what we're building toward:

  • Paid quest access — gate a quest (or premium storyline branches) behind a one-time purchase or subscription. Share a paywall link; your audience buys in directly.
  • Collectible drops — release limited-edition character cards tied to events, launches, or milestones. Fans pay to unlock rare cards — think digital merch without the print run.
  • Tip jar / pay-what-you-want — keep the quest free but let fans support you with an optional contribution at the end of the experience.
  • Sponsored quests — partner with a brand, publisher, or organization to co-create a quest. They fund it; you keep creative control and your audience relationship.
  • Bundle deals — package multiple quests together as a paid series (e.g. a 6-part interactive history course) sold as a single purchase.

None of these are live yet — but building your quest library and audience now puts you first in line when they launch. Submit your interest above and we'll loop you in early.
