OutsideQuest 🌿: Turning Screen Time into Small Outdoor Adventures

Description and use

OutsideQuest turns screen time into short outdoor adventures by providing simple, time‑boxed missions that users can follow without elaborate planning.

Problem

People spend too much time scrolling instead of exploring outdoors.

Outcome

OutsideQuest enables users to replace screen time with short, guided outdoor adventures, reducing the need for elaborate planning or equipment.

Workflow

• User selects desired time and interests on the web interface.
• The app generates a practical outdoor mission with steps, duration estimate, and safety guidance.
• User follows the mission and completes the activity.
• (Optional) Local version stores progress and reflection for future reference.
• Public demo disables personal data storage for privacy.
• Deployment uses Render for instant browser access without setup.
