Getting Started with QuestStream
Your complete guide to setting up your family and creating your first quests
Setup Checklist
Initial Setup Wizard
After registration, you'll complete a 4-step wizard to customize QuestStream for your family
This quick setup takes just a few minutes and helps personalize QuestStream for your family's needs. Don't worry - you can always change these settings later!
Step 0: Welcome & Regional Settings
Choose your preferred language (English/Polish) and timezone for accurate deadline calculations.
Step 1: Content Packs
Select age-appropriate quest templates and rewards. Choose from packs targeting different age groups (ages 4-7, 8-12, 13-17, or all ages).
Step 2: Privacy & Safety
Configure photo permissions (profile photos, quest completion photos) and set photo retention policy (keep forever or auto-delete after 6/12/24 months).
Step 3: Summary & Finish
Review all your settings and get quick start tips. Once you finish, you'll be directed to your parent dashboard.
๐ Important Note
During the wizard, you'll configure basic settings. Adding children and inviting co-parents happens after completing the wizard from your parent dashboard. This allows you to set everything up before inviting others to join!
Add Your Children
After completing the onboarding wizard, your first task is to add your children
Your family was automatically created during registration, and you've already configured your regional settings, content packs, and privacy preferences in the wizard. Now let's add your kids!
-
Navigate to My Children:
From your parent dashboard, click "My Children" in the sidebar
-
Click "Add Child" button:
You'll see it in the top-right corner or center if no children exist yet
-
Enter child information:
- Name: Your child's first name or nickname
- Date of Birth: Used for age-appropriate quest filtering
- PIN: 4-8 digit code for secure profile access
-
Save and repeat:

๐ก Pro Tip: PINs
Make PINs memorable but not obvious. Avoid birthdays or "1234". Write them down in a safe place until your kids memorize them.
