Creating a Quest

This guide walks you through creating a quest from scratch — selecting an organization, adding prompts and experiments, configuring onboarding, and publishing.

​

Step 1: Choose an Organization

When you click Create Quest, you’ll see an org selector dropdown. Choose which organization the quest belongs to — this determines who can manage the quest and where billing is charged.

• Select an existing organization from the dropdown

​

Step 2: Fill in Quest Metadata

• Title — a clear name for your study (e.g., “Daily Mood & Sleep Tracking”)
• Description — what the quest is about (shown to participants)
• Category — helps organize and discover quests

​

Step 3: Add Prompts

Every quest requires at least one prompt. Prompts are the recurring questions participants answer on a schedule.

1. Click Add Prompt
2. Enter the prompt text
3. Select a response type (Yes/No, Text, Number, Number Range, or Custom Options)
4. Pick a category (Mental Health, Productivity, Health and Fitness, etc.)
5. Configure the schedule: active days, time window, and frequency

​

Step 4: Add Experiments (Optional)

Add interactive jsPsych experiments for participants to complete.

1. Click Add Experiment
2. Enter a name and optional description
3. Write or paste experiment code in the Monaco editor (starts with a default jsPsych 8.0.3 template)
4. Upload media (images, audio, video) using the media uploader
5. Use the live preview to test your experiment

You can add multiple experiments — they’ll be displayed as a horizontal list of cards that participants navigate through.

​

Step 5: Configure Onboarding (Optional)

Set up what participants see before they join the quest:

1. Full-text overview — rich HTML content for informed consent, study purpose, and data usage. Participants must check an acknowledgment box before continuing.
2. Onboarding questions — screening questions with optional question guards to block ineligible participants.

​

Step 6: Configure Health Data (Optional)

Toggle which health metrics to collect from participants with wearables:

• Steps — daily step count
• Sleep — sleep duration and quality
• Heart Rate — heart rate measurements

​

Step 7: Save

Click Save to store your quest. This:

• Generates a unique quest GUID and URL
• Enables media uploads for experiments (you can’t upload media until the quest is saved)
• Keeps the quest in draft status — it’s not visible to participants yet

​

Step 8: Publish

Click Publish to make the quest live and accessible via its URL. Once published, you can share the quest link:

• Direct link — copy the URL and send it to participants
• QR code — generate a QR code for in-person recruitment
• Prolific — paste the URL as your Prolific study URL (see Prolific Integration)
