Invision Community Introducing Quests: Tailored gamification & bridging in-person events with your community

[EL PaperBoy]

Imagine empowering your community members to take real-world actions and instantly see their achievements recognized online. That’s the power of Quests, a brand-new feature coming soon to Invision Community. What are Quests?Quests are a flexible, engaging way to gamify experiences both in-person and online. They’re made up of challenges that members complete to finish a Quest. Each completed Quest rewards your members with badges or other rewards of your choice, fostering deeper connections and continued participation in your community. Real-World ImpactQuests were designed to bridge the gap between in-person experiences and online communities. For example, at an event, attendees can scan a QR code to join your community and instantly start a Quest, such as completing a quick fitness challenge or checking in at a booth to earn a prize—with their achievement automatically synced to their online profile. Use Cases Across IndustriesEvents & Conferences – Reward check-ins, session feedback, or networking interactions Musicians & Artists – Include Quest QR codes at shows to link attendees to specific events and continue the community vibe post-tour Sports Teams – Gamify game-day experiences with rewards tied to attending the game or visiting fan zones Creators & Educators – Create challenges for students or community learners to track progress and celebrate milestones Brands & Retailers – Incentivize in-store visits or product demonstrations with instant online recognition But Quests go far beyond event activations. They’re also a powerful in-community gamification tool, enabling you to create achievement-based experiences that motivate members to take action, engage meaningfully, and keep coming back. Tailored Gamification ExperiencesOur achievements system is a great way to collect points and move upwards through the ranks while interacting with the community on a regular basis. Quests takes this a step further by allow you to create specific pathways through the community to earn rewards. For example, you may set all new members on a "Welcome" quest where you complete your profile, post a welcome story and follow five members. On completion they could get a badge or a voucher for money off their next order from your store.
