Sound familiar?

Group chats go quiet. Friendships shouldn't.

Staying close takes effort, and scrolling alone isn't talking. SIDEQUEST gives your friends a fun, two-minute reason to reply.

Scrolling, not talking

Then someone drops a two-minute game in the chat…

How it works

Four steps from bored to buzzing.

Every result comes with a next move — compare, challenge, react — so a two-minute game can turn into a conversation.

  1. Step 1

    Play

    Jump into a two-minute game straight from a link. Guests welcome — no account required.

Social by design

Built for friends, not followers.

Every game leaves something to talk about: challenges, rematches, reactions and running jokes with people you actually know.

  • Challenge chains

    One link, many rematches. See how far your challenge travels.

  • Fair comparisons

    Same game version, same scoring — ties handled clearly.

  • Reactions & threads

    Celebrate a perfect score or debate a tricky answer.

  • Friends leaderboards

    Rankings that matter: your friends, your crews, your games.
