Learn how KedQuest works — create a game, share the QR code, and watch participants race through real-world challenges in 4 simple steps.

How KedQuest Works

Getting started with KedQuest takes just a few minutes. Here's the complete process from game creation to celebration.

Step 1: Create Your Game

Use the game wizard to set up your game. Define tasks, choose station locations, set time limits, and customize the experience. Each task can include:

  • Text challenges and trivia questions
  • Photo proof requirements
  • QR code station check-ins
  • AI-validated answers
  • Manager approval checkpoints

Pro tip: Use the AI Game Generator to create an entire game from a single sentence. Just describe your event and KedQuest builds it for you.

Step 2: Share & Join

When your game is ready, share it with participants. KedQuest gives you:

  • A unique game code players can enter
  • A QR code they can scan with any phone camera
  • Branded QR posters you can print for your venue

No app download required. Players join through their phone's browser in seconds.

Step 3: Race & Compete

Once the game starts, participants race through your stations completing challenges. The real-time dashboard gives you full control:

  • Live Leaderboard — See who's in the lead at any moment
  • Photo Wall — Watch photos stream in as teams complete tasks
  • Approval Queue — Review and approve task submissions
  • Broadcasting — Send live messages to all participants
  • Station Management — Lock, unlock, and manage stations on the fly

Assign managers to stations for in-person task approval, or let AI validate answers automatically.

Step 4: Celebrate & Share

When the race ends, everyone gathers to see the results:

  • Final Leaderboard — Rankings with completion times and scores
  • Badge Awards — Speed demons, photographers, team players, and more
  • Photo Wall Gallery — Browse all photos from the event
  • AI Summary — Auto-generated event highlights and stats
  • Export — Download all photos as a ZIP file

What You Need

  • Organizer: Any device with a browser (laptop recommended for the dashboard)
  • Participants: A smartphone with a camera and browser
  • Location: Any physical space — indoor, outdoor, or hybrid
