Quest is a compatibility-first dating app with personality matching, verified profiles, and tools that help real connections move forward.questsocialdiscovery.com Washington, DCJoined January 2023
we almost launched Quest without required photos.
the logic made sense at the time: lower friction, more signups, bigger top of funnel.
but every time we pressure-tested it, we kept coming back to the same problem.
a profile without a photo is basically anonymous. and anonymous profiles attract the exact users high-intent daters are trying to avoid.
so we made photos required.
signups probably took a hit. we accepted that.
the people who won't upload a real photo of themselves are not the people we're building for.
Quest is available now on iOS, Android, and the web → questdatingapp.com/links
we debated whether to build for web at all.
the assumption was: dating apps live on phones. nobody opens a browser to find a date.
but we kept hearing from users who wanted to fill out their profile on a laptop. review their matches with a bigger screen. actually think before they typed.
so we built it.
Quest is on Android, iOS, and the web now. same experience, same assessment, same matches.
turns out some people just think better when they're not squinting at a 6-inch screen.

Strong communities are built by people who care about both the vision and the way it comes to life.
As Quest grows throughout the DMV, we’re connecting with thoughtful professionals across brand, content, partnerships, events, community building, creator programs and PR.
We’re looking for collaborators who value substance, creativity, integrity and intentional growth.

For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to publish one of my novels.
I also spent a long time being terrified of it.
Terrified that people would be critical. Terrified that the stories in my head would not translate on the page. Terrified that I would finally share something personal and discover that nobody connected with it at all.
But on my own journey toward self-discovery, I learned that fear does not always mean stop. Sometimes it means this matters enough to be honest about.
Welcome to Quest is a collection of stories, experiences, questions, mistakes, hopes, and pieces of the human journey that I believe so many of us recognize in ourselves. It is about love, friendship, community, vulnerability, and the complicated work of learning who you are before asking someone else to truly see you.
Creating Quest as an app was one way to help people explore connection. Writing this novel was another. Both come from the same place: the belief that meaningful relationships begin with knowing yourself.
So I hope you buy the book. Read it. Share it with someone who needs it. Gift it to a friend, a sister, a brother, a partner, or the person who always says they are “done with love.”
And if you do not enjoy it… please do not burn it. I worked very hard on the pages. At least use it as a coaster or something. 😭📖
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Welcome to Quest.

I’m excited to announce my latest venture
I’ve always loved bringing people together. Building @questdatingapp felt like the most meaningful way I could help more people discover connection, community, and relationships that genuinely fit their lives.
Today, I’m proud to introduce Quest Social Discovery and Dating.
Most platforms begin with a photo and leave people guessing from there. Quest begins with you—who you are, what you want, and the kinds of connections that truly fit.
Whether you’re looking for friendship, community, or romance, Quest is designed to go beyond surface-level matching. Through interactive games and experiences, you can discover your Quest Archetype, learn how you connect with others, and approach relationships with greater clarity, trust, and purpose.
Quest is available on the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the web. We’re beginning our community rollout across the entire DMV—Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia—while welcoming people nationwide to join the waitlist.
We’ll expand city by city, prioritizing the communities showing the greatest demand. The more people who join in your area, the sooner Quest can come to your city.
If you believe connection should be about more than swiping:
✨ Download Quest
✨ Join the waitlist
✨ Play the games and discover your Quest Archetype
✨ Share your archetype with friends
✨ Invite others and help bring Quest to your city
This is about more than matching. It’s about discovering yourself, finding your people, and building connections that truly matter.
Welcome to Quest.
