Just two grown-up kids
Back in 2024, Aisha replied to Reio's comment under a running post online. We went running together and quickly became friends. Over the next year we completed multiple sidequests together and eventually realized we're both just two silly, hopefully-soon-to-become-full-time sidequesters. Like we're both adults who refused to grow up. And from there, we decided to build One More Sidequest to reach others like us.
And it all started from a single comment on the internet. Crazy to think about it.
But that's what One More Sidequest is about:
We're not here to give you another thing to finish. You already have enough of tasks "to finish" in your life. We're here to give you a reason to start.
Here's a few sidequests we've done
What is a sidequest, anyway?
The word comes from video games
In gaming terms you've got your main quest — the world-saving, the narrative arc. But real players know the main quest isn't where the game lives.
It's in the sidequests. The detours. The weird little missions that don't move the plot forward, but give the game that little something-something that makes every player's experience completely their own.
You'd spend an hour helping a stranger find their lost goat and come out of it with a new skill unlock, an XP boost, an unexpected friendship crucial for the main story, and a rare item.
The value of completing sidequests is nothing new to gamers because they understand one simple truth:
The sidequests you go on shape your main quest.
Life is exactly the same.
That's why we started One More Sidequest
There's something that happens when you follow a thread of curiosity with no destination in mind.
You come back to yourself a little. You experience versions of yourself you wouldn't have found any other way.

We're into collecting experiences you'll still be talking about in ten years.
