How Quests Work in PfPE

What Is a Quest?

A quest is a specific, actionable climate task you can complete in the real world. Quests range from simple daily habits to ambitious community challenges.

Types of Quests

Daily Quests

Small, repeatable actions you can do every day:

• Use a reusable cup
• Walk or cycle instead of driving
• Turn off unused electronics

Seasonal Challenges

Bigger quests tied to seasons or events:

• Spring tree-planting campaign
• Summer water conservation challenge
• Autumn food waste reduction month

Community Quests

Group challenges for schools, workplaces, or neighbourhoods:

• School-wide recycling competition
• Neighbourhood cleanup day
• Office energy reduction challenge

How Points Work

Every quest has a point value based on:

• Impact — How much environmental benefit it creates
• Effort — How much time and commitment is required
• Verification — Whether it can be objectively measured

Earning Badges

Badges recognise milestones and consistency:

• First Quest — Complete your first quest
• Week Warrior — Complete quests 7 days in a row
• Impact Leader — Save 100kg of CO₂
• Community Champion — Complete 5 group quests

Verification

We use a combination of methods to verify quest completions:

• Self-reporting with optional photo evidence
• Location-based check-ins
• Partner-verified completions (schools, councils)
• Smart verification (coming soon)

The goal is trust with transparency — making it easy to log actions while maintaining credibility.
