Real Stakes for
Real Life

Most to-do apps just let tasks slide. MainQuest holds you accountable.

Why Punishment Works

Psychologically, humans are motivated twice as much by Loss Aversion as by gain. We hate losing things we already have.

MainQuest leverages this. Watching your clean, full HP bar turn red creates a visceral need to fix it—by doing the work.

Staying Alive

Level Up to Heal

The best way to heal is to be productive. Every level up restores you to 100% HP. Push through the pain and earn your recovery.

Health Potions

In a pinch? Spend your hard-earned Gold on potions. But be careful—gold is also used for rewards. Do you really want to spend it on medicine?

☠️ YOU DIED ☠️

If your HP hits zero, consequences are real.
