THE QUEST BOARD · BUILDERS HELPING BUILDERS · PILOT
Help a builder. Earn gold. Get help back.
A small exchange for people who just launched something. You do one real, honest favor for another builder — read their page, test-drive their product, or introduce one person who truly fits. Gold pays for the same help on your project.
NO UPVOTES · NO FAKE REVIEWS · NO SPAM · REAL WORK ONLY
HOW IT WORKS
The whole game, in four pictures.
1
POST YOUR PROJECT
Paste your link. We draft who your buyer is — you fix it and confirm. Your quests appear on the board.
2
DO A QUEST
Pick a quest from another builder. Ten honest minutes: read their page, try their product, or ask a friend who fits.
3
SHOW YOUR WORK
Answer the quest’s checklist. Saying “this isn’t for me” counts exactly the same as praise.
4
EARN GOLD
Accepted work pays gold — and gold is the only thing that pays for quests on your project.
THE RULES
Short enough to actually read.
THE QUEST BOARD RULEBOOK
You start with 5 gold, our gift — enough for your first small quests. After that, helping is the only way to earn more. Nobody can buy their way in.
Every quest has a checklist. Checklist done = you get paid — even when your honest answer is “this isn’t for me.” Bad news pays the same as praise.
Bigger help costs more gold: reading is 1, a real test-drive is 3, a warm introduction is 10.
Introductions are permission-first: you only introduce a person you actually know, they say yes first, or nothing happens at all.
Your answers stay between you and the founder. Only the fact that you helped is public.
No upvotes, no reviews-for-reviews, no spam, ever. Anyone asking for them leaves the board.
THE QUESTS
Three ways to help. Priced by how rare they are.
Visits and likes don’t make customers, so we don’t trade them. The valuable thing is a real buyer paying real attention — that’s what quests are built around.
1
Read & react — 1 gold
Read their page for 5 minutes, then say what you honestly understood.
2
ICP test-drive — 3 gold
You match their buyer profile. Actually try the product and report back.
3
Warm intro — 10 gold
You personally know someone who fits their buyer profile. Ask them first.
Warm intros unlock only after another of your quests on that project was accepted — you never vouch for something you haven’t touched.
HONEST QUESTIONS
What this is — and what it refuses to be.
Is this an engagement pod?
No — it’s the opposite, on purpose. Pods trade fake signals: upvotes, likes, hollow comments. The board trades labor: a test someone really ran, feedback someone really wrote, an introduction someone really asked permission for. Every quest must be worth doing even if no algorithm ever saw it.
Why would a stranger’s opinion help me?
Because it isn’t a random stranger. When you post your project you confirm a short buyer contract — who your buyer is, what problem you solve. The expensive quests are reserved for people who match it, and you approve the match before they start.
What if nobody here can reach my buyer?
Then we say so, honestly, instead of serving you junk traffic. Round one is restricted to products whose likely users are founders, developers, marketers, or agency owners — because that’s who’s on the board. Verticals expand as the members’ real reach grows, not before.
Who sees my answers and my contacts?
Receipts are private between the helper and the founder. An introduced person’s identity is revealed only after they opt in themselves — and if they close the tab instead, nobody is told anything.
Can I earn gold and never post a project?
Yes. Consultants, agencies and community folks are welcome — the board is full of the people you sell to, and visible, honest work here is better marketing than any ad.
One honest favor in. One real buyer out.
Post your project, do your first quest tonight, and let the gold do the rounds.
