I predict that LARPers (Live Action Role-Playing) will download the Quest.Li app en masse. The Quest.Li app is a free app that turns even the most mundane activities into epic and rewarding quests.
Quest.Li app consists of two types of quests, web quests and local quests. Web quests are simple quests that ask you to answer questions. Local quests are where the fun is truly at. Local quests ask you to answer a location-based question; the quests can be played alone or in groups. Quests can also be played for money, with winners receiving a 70 percent payout and the quest creator receiving 15 percent, the quest creator receiving 15 percent and the app developers receiving the final 15 percent. The app is out now in the iTunes app store and sells for the recession-friendly price of free.
