Description
Experience the adventure of real outdoor quests - for real wildlife!
QuestaGame takes you outdoors - to your backyard, a local park, a hiking trail, anywhere - for you to discover, learn about, and help monitor biodiversity. Join quests and compete with other players to photograph animals and plants in the wild and ultimately help create a sustainable future.
The game includes all species in your country, using national and global databases.
As part of the game, you will join quests, earn gold, buy equipment, gain levels, challenge other players, move up the leader board and become one of the great adventurers of all time. As you move up the levels, the more fun and interesting the game becomes.
All sightings are geo-tagged with location, date, time and are easily shared with national and global databases - so you can not only map your conquests, but also help scientists, researchers, planners and others work to protect Australia's biodiversity while you play.

This has got to be one of the most awesome apps out there. Biodiversity mapping by citizen science turned into a fun game - with the added bonus that you learn so much more about your local environment! The menu is a bit messy and overwhelming at first, and you might want to wind back the notifications, but the concept is really solid. Such a joy! Excellent for kids to engage with the environment around them as well. Perfect for everyone from science experts to interested newbies.

Great game! Re-opens your eyes to the wildlife all around - plants, animals, fungi, everything! All the fun of Pokemon Go, but with thousands of species (and compelling 3D textures).
Great app for getting outside and observing the nature that is around us every day but we miss. Also great for kids.
Awesome! Great fun. Love it! Real life adventuring that makes you forget you're actually mapping biodiversity.

My kids love using it while out and about. It is a great addition to our excursions.

Our family loves this app! It was coincidental that I stumbled across it. It could be so popular if only people had heard of it. I have shared with our homeschooling group. The kids (and Mum and Dad) have found renewed passion for spotting wildlife, even just in the backyard. It's exciting to receive the verifiers comments, and they can be very helpful too (thank you to the verifier who gave me tips on helping out the baby blue-tongue). The app can be a litte glitchy and crashes at times, and I'm not sure what the equipment is really for, but still, we've been loving the app just using the basics. Unfortunately it wouldn't accept photos from my gallery as it says it couldnt recognise the date (they were from that day). It's a shame that starting a clan costs money (though I understand you need to make money somehow) as otherwise I would have started up a homeschoolers clan. Love that it comes from here in Australia too! Keep up the great work, and thank you to all the wonderful verifiers who always sound so encouraging and enthusiastic!! I'm going to tell my brother about this app too - he runs safaris in South Africa.... now he could spot some great wildlife!

Great game and concept Great game with only a couple minor issues. ID wait time can be frustrating depending upon which in-game device you are using. But the main thing for me is the whole time date on photos. Tried to edit 1 photo to make it clearer, then couldn't use the edited pic. I would like to see someway of being able to add photos from sources other than your phone as it is very hard to get decent photos of some creatures due to size, distance or time
I love it. Gives me the incentive to get out in the bush and get some exercise. I'm also learning lots about our flora and fauna. I haven't quite gotten my head around the purpose of equipment and supplies yet.
Great way to get kids outdoors, they're always spotting animals and are getting great at identifying species. Way better than looking for imaginary creatures!
Got to catch 'em all!! Such a fun and addictive way to learn more about all the life around us. Really enjoying having fast expert feedback on the sightings I submit.
Loving it!! Only wish I'd started sooner as I thoroughly enjoy photographing any new wildlife I see - so many I could have submitted! Now I know where to go with all my new findings.
The kids love this- great for observation skills and fun to learn about the different creatures.
Program crashing Constantly crashes when looking through My Collection area

Sorry to hear about this issue. We've just uploaded latest version. Please try this one. If you still encounter any issues, please contact us via www.questagame.com. I haven't had this much fun ever If you like taking pics of the outdoors (plants, bugs, wildlife) you are going to love this. You know all those times you are trying to show your pics to your friends and they are like: "yea, that's a duck, so what?" Well, not with this game. Other people are as enthused about wildlife as you are, and you can share your discoveries with them. The game needs some work, but I'm still having a blast.
Great way to get outdoors and learn sooooo much about local plants and animals. App support community very helpfulđ
Love it! Educational, fun, interesting and for the beginner to the experienced in nature. Definitely worth downloading.
Great App Please add flowering plants, orchids etc as a category - could link into Herberium fir example!
Such a fun and addictive game. Great way to get the whole family involved and outdoors looking for the next species. It's become a challenge the whole family enjoys and works towards.
Fun and educational for all ages! I have never rated an app until now. This app is just fantastic for all ages. I play every day and taught my diabled nephew how to play also. It gets him outside learning and discovering new things. Fantastic game!!
Fun and addictive Easy to use, motivates you to get outside and snap photos of plants and animals, get gold coins in return for submitting sightings and move up the leaderboard. One of the best apps I've ever used! Absolutely love it!!
Outdoor fun I am so excited about this game. I keep making excuses to go out exploring so I can find something awesome and get points for it. Its really helping me get out and have more adventures!
Can't recommend this app highly enough. Great for kids and adults alike, it's an excellent way to encourage kids to enjoy and learn about nature, while linking it to technology. The personalised email responses verifying sightings are great - always positive, encouraging, helpful, and responses are quick. I'd definitely recommend downloading the app.
Amazing app One of my fave apps ever. I love finding out the different animals i come across, and the information provided in the verification notes. It then inspires me to find out more about the creatures. The few times ive contact support they have been incredibly fast at replying . Would recommend everyone have this app.
Great biodiversity monitoring tool for all ages. Have fun whilst recording Australia's biodiversity.
Great fun and adds an extra reason to keep your eyes open out there.
For years I have wanted to record all the different varieties of birds that visit my garden.This is by far the best way to keep records.
Excited about it so far - can't wait to get outdoors more with the kids and go on some real adventures! They're excited about the game side of it. Couldn't believe how quickly we received a sighting confirmation of a fungi we spotted in the bush - thanks Questagame and the expert. Would love to know who the expert is, though. Kids were excited to hear that their photo is contributing to the national database, too. We're looking forward to seeing the app get bigger and better. A 'how to' video would be great ... Thanks Questagame!
Biodiversity Extraordinaire Questagame is the name. Biodiversity recording is the game. Kids and adults can all play. Making sure our unique flora and fauna are here to stay. So get with it families and have some fun. Out in the rain or in the sun. Enjoy.
Questa Having fun chasing around for uploads to this game. Getting friends and kids involved too. A few improvements in how the game communicates to the database would be great to allow some search functionality instead of just scrolling through hundred of possible results. Also the game tends to download onto your device a lot of information that is not necessary like other users profiles and pictures.
Very dedicated team App early in development but QuestaGame stay on top of everything. Also a great idea and initiative
Citizen Science at it's best! This is a great app to get you looking at the natural environment in new ways. I love the email confirmation when you submit a sighting & the excitement of correctly identifying a species
Highly recommended family fun I enjoy sharing new information with my family as I learn more about the wildlife around me.
What a great idea. Really enjoying using this app. Recommended for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors, or even just poking around in the backyard.
Heaps of Fun Great way to contribute to the bio-data of the nation.
Great introduction to wildlife observation and recording. Check out what is in your area, see what you can get a photo of - Join the quest Help map your local birds and other wildlife
Almost a field guide as well as a game This game is a fantastic idea. I hadnât realised until playing that there was so much species data in there, including distribution maps and comparative pics. This makes it a great resource even possibly for non-game players.
Great app Really like the "what's near me" button and the whole game idea. There was a error first time I tried but was quickly fixed with new release. Amazing that is has all the species in Australia! Well done!
