Start off your journey to conquer waste with just one tap at a time!
EcoQuest was born from the idea that everyday tasks should be more fun. Everyone could play a part in cleaning up our communities by taking part in an interactive, slightly competitive game. The users go through a pleasant journey to reduce waste, guided by the map and daily quests. Each piece of litter picked up earns points, pushing the user up on the leaderboard. EcoQuest exists to combine real-world impact with gamification, making environmental cleanup engaging and accessible for everyone!
