I was exploring the web yesterday and whilst on Coinbase, I came across an application which seems to be interesting. And since I was keen on learning new things, I decided to take a look and let me share what it is about on this post.
The App & Brief Intro
The application is called QuestN which accordingly, is a "Quest-to-Earn aggregator" or platform that connects Web 3 players or enthusiasts and projects, providing effective and organic user growth services for them." (Source)
It's quite similar to Zealy (but a lot easier) where participants (Questers) perform or complete tasks for a chance to win or earn prizes (tokens, NFTs, whitelist). According to their Twitter tagline, QuestN is a "Marketing, Growth and Analysis for Web3."
QuestN will be the first stop to bridge Web2 users to Web3, thereby acquiring massive amounts of Web2 users. (Source)
As a Web3 growth and marketing tool, QuestN is serving all our clients to assist with their promotion needs at zero cost at the current stage, as well as directing huge traffic and attractions to their quests and campaigns. (Source)
The application is available on desktop, iOs and on Android.
How to Join
For Projects & Communities
To start your own community and create quests, go to this link and register by connecting your wallet (either Metamask, WalletConnect & Coinbase wallet).

It is free and pretty straightforward to create a community. Just input Community Name, upload Logo, and select a category (GameFi, NFT, SocialFi, Web3, Metaverse, DeFi, CeFi, DAO, DID, Layer1, Layer2, App chain, Wallet, Infrastructure, Others).
For Business advertisers, QuestN is committed to providing a variety of permissionless on-chain and off-chain quests as advertising carriers and landing pages, so that the advertising effect is better perceived and familiar by target users. At the same time, Token / Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) / Whitelist / Discord role is used as an incentive method to achieve efficient and accurate Web3 native advertising. (Quoted from Source)
For Questers
It's free to join as well. Just go to the app and connect via your preferred sign in method (Metamask, Twitter, WalletConnect, Discord, Trust Wallet etc):

Once you are in, you can view, explore and start participating in various quests and events. Most tasks are super easy and simple as following a Twitter account, retweeting, joining the community's Discord etc. They don't take much time so you can join as many quests as you can in a shorter span of time.Here's a preview of an ongoing CryptoMazeApp quest. It clearly indicates when the draw is happening, how many rewards to be given out (10) and the amount thereof (50 USDC each), the points that a user can obtain from the task, the number of Questers participating, the quest description and/or rules.

Winners are randomly drawn so lucky ones get the prizes.Users can obtain Token / NFT / Whitelist / Discord role rewards by participating in quests and events and through the continuous accumulation of data on QuestN, they can enhance community reputation and unlock higher-level quests and rich rewards, benefitting from their own data.

Summary
Unlike Zealy where quests get harder as you complete them, QuestN's are really simple and once you complete them, all you have to do is wait for the scheduled lucky draw to check if you win a prize or not. Well, except for those with large prize pools where tasks are more.
There are various communities with their own sets of tasks to choose from and there's no limit with regards to the number of quests that one can join or participate with.
I did my first experiment and it took me just a few minutes to get the tasks done. No sweat!
The quester's dashboard is called "QuesterCamp" where it shows the summary of one's profile, the communities he/she follows, the quests participated in, including the rewards (Pending, Claimable, Claimed and Missed).
When participating, I do recommend going for the "verified" communities (those with check marks on at the lower right corner on their avatar) or you can filter them on the drop down menu on the community list.
And if you are using a wallet to connect, it's best to use one that doesn't contain any significant amount of your crypto assets. Better to be safe than sorry they say :)
