We're Turning Crowds Into Community, One SideQuest at a Time.
Music festivals bring thousands of people together, but being surrounded by people doesn't always mean feeling connected. It's easy to spend an entire weekend following the same routines, staying within your familiar circle, or wishing you'd explored a little more. And even when you want to meet new people, starting a conversation with a stranger can be the hardest part.
That's why we created the SideQuest Grid and The Wandering Order.
Our mission is to help festivalgoers discover meaningful experiences, make new friends, and create unforgettable stories through real-world adventures. We believe the best festival memories aren't always made in front of a stage. Sometimes, they begin with a little curiosity and a simple hello.
We've created two different ways to make those moments happen.
The SideQuest Grid: Explore Beyond the Music
The SideQuest Grid is a self-guided adventure featuring 20 curated quests designed to help you explore your surroundings, discover unexpected experiences, and connect with the people around you.
Each quest offers an opportunity to experience your festival differently. Some encourage exploration, others spark creativity, and many provide a natural reason to interact with someone new. Instead of wondering what to say or where to go, you have a little inspiration to get you started.
There's no required number, order, and no single right way to complete them. You can make the adventure entirely your own by completing it at your own pace by yourself or with friends.
You can even get multi-packs that give you a meaningful trinket to share with others to send them on their own adventures.
The Little Green Pouch: Your Invitation to a Secret SideQuest
For those who love a little mystery, the Little Green Pouch introduces a different kind of adventure.
Each pouch contains everything you need to participate in a collaborative Secret SideQuest, a unique experience designed to encourage curiosity, discovery, and meaningful interactions with fellow festivalgoers.
Depending on the edition, your mission might involve finding other Wanderers, following clues, exchanging something meaningful, or creating something together. The experience changes, but the purpose stays the same: give you a shared reason to connect with people you might never have met otherwise.
The Secret SideQuest is an optional discovery experience, separate from the SideQuest Grid. You can enjoy either adventure independently or combine them for a weekend full of sidequests.
Two Experiences. One Mission.
The SideQuest Grid gives you the freedom to explore through 20 open-ended quests. The Little Green Pouch invites you into a secret adventure that unfolds through discovery and connection.
Both are designed to make stepping outside your comfort zone feel more natural. You don't have to be outgoing, arrive with a group, or know exactly what you're doing. You just need a little curiosity.
And when you participate, you become part of The Wandering Order, a growing community of festivalgoers who believe the best adventures are the ones we create together.
Because the music might bring us to the same place, but it's the people we meet and the stories we create that make the experience unforgettable.
The music brings us together. The adventure helps us connect.
