How Families Work in QuestStream
QuestStream is designed for families to manage quests, rewards, and track children's progress together.
Creating Your Family
When you first register as a parent, a family is automatically created for you. After registration, you'll complete a brief onboarding wizard to configure your regional settings, content packs, and privacy preferences. You become the primary parent of this family.
What you can do as a family creator:
- Add children to your family
- Invite co-parents to help manage the family
- Create and assign quests
- Manage rewards in the family shop
- Track all children's progress
Joining an Existing Family
If your spouse or partner already has a QuestStream family, they can invite you to join as a co-parent.
How to receive an invitation:
- The primary parent goes to Settings → Family
- They enter your email address and click "Send Invitation"
- You receive a notification (if you have an account) or an email (if you don't)
- Click the invitation link to accept
Note: Co-parent invitations are typically sent after the primary parent completes their initial onboarding wizard.
💡 If you don't have an account yet:
The invitation email will include a link to create your account and automatically join the family in one step!
After joining as a co-parent:
- You'll have full access to manage all children in the family
- You can create and assign quests
- You can approve quest completions
- You can manage rewards and settings
- Both parents have equal permissions
Co-Parenting Features
QuestStream is designed for families with multiple parents working together.
- Shared access: All parents see the same children, quests, and rewards
- Real-time updates: When one parent makes changes, others see them immediately
- Notifications: Both parents receive notifications about quest completions and activities
- Flexible management: Any parent can invite additional co-parents if needed
Adding Children
Once you're in a family (either as creator or co-parent), you can add children. This is done after completing your initial setup wizard.
- Go to My Children in the parent dashboard (after completing onboarding)
- Click the "Add Child" button
- Enter your child's name and date of birth
- Set up a PIN for your child (so they can securely select their profile)
- Start creating quests for them!
Initial Setup vs. Family Management
Understanding the difference between onboarding and ongoing family management
🚀 Onboarding Wizard (One-Time Setup)
When you first register, you'll complete a quick 4-step wizard to configure:
- Regional settings (language and timezone)
- Content packs (age-appropriate quest templates)
- Privacy preferences (photo permissions and retention policy)
👨👩👧👦 Family Management (After Onboarding)
After completing the wizard, you can build your family from the parent dashboard:
- Add children to your family
- Invite co-parents to join
- Assign quests and manage rewards
- Customize additional settings as needed
💡 Why This Design?
This two-phase approach allows you to customize QuestStream for your family's needs before inviting others to join. You can set up content packs, configure privacy settings, and get familiar with the system, then invite your partner and add your children when you're ready. You can always change these settings later in the Settings page!
