Turn Homework Into Quests

The syllabus is just a Quest Board. The exam is just a Boss. You are the Hero.

The "Grind" of studying

In RPGs, we happily grind for hours to level up. Imagine if you applied that same dedication to studying. MainQuest bridges the gap.

How to Setup Your Study RPG

1. The Quest Log (Assignments)

Enter every assignment as a Quest, tagged with a difficulty tier.
• Easy: Read Chapter 1 (8 XP)
• Medium: Write Essay Draft (10 XP)
• Hard: Study for Midterm (15 XP)
• Epic: Final Project (20 XP)

2. Building Your Scholar Class

Roll a Class for your academic life — start from the Scholar archetype (Knowledge, Memory, Precision) or build custom attributes around your major. Tag your study quests and habits to that Class and watch its attributes climb across the semester. See Classes & Attributes for the full breakdown.

3. Boss Battles (Exams)

Schedule your exams as Boss Battles. You can't defeat the boss unless you've grinded enough XP (studying) beforehand. If you fail to study, your HP will be too low to survive the exam.
