SideQuest

Smart and scheduled playtime

Your Weekly Dose of Fun

✔️ Play with limits | ✔️ Stop anytime | ✔️ Feel good after

How It Works

  • SideQuest is meant to follow schoolwork. We encourage discipline, but we leave the timing & self-discipline to you.

  • Know what’s coming. Game schedules follow a shared calendar so you can plan and join as a team.

  • You’re never alone. Every voice chat and match is guided by trusted Sunnyside® Guardians.

  • This is your world too. Suggest games, nominate captains, or help lead new missions into play.
