How do I get the most out of Quests?

Tie Quests to something you're already trying to move

Don't launch a Quest just because it's there. Pick one that's tied to something you're actually trying to drive — participation in an initiative that's struggled to get traction, a habit you want to build, a program that needs a push. A Quest with a real goal behind it gets adopted a lot faster than one that feels like a random add-on.

Mix self-submit and nominate

• Use self-submit for individual habits and goals — the things only the person doing them can report
• Use nominate for moments that depend on someone else noticing — it keeps a bit of peer-to-peer recognition inside your Quest catalog, not just checklist-style tasks
• A catalog that's all one type starts to feel repetitive. A mix keeps it feeling like recognition, not homework

Size the reward to the ask

A 15-minute walk and finishing a certification shouldn't be worth the same number of tacos. Bigger, less frequent asks can carry more weight; small, easy ones should stay light so people don't feel like they're grinding for tacos.

Keep it fresh

• Retire or rotate Quests every so often instead of leaving the same 12 up indefinitely — new options keep people checking back
• Use cooldowns for Quests you want to feel like a recurring habit (weekly, monthly) rather than a one-time thing
• Save uncapped, always-on Quests for the ones that are genuinely evergreen — most work best with a limit or a cooldown attached
