Free and open source

Quest is licenced under the MIT License. You can sell the games you make with it, modify the source code, and use it inside commercial applications — no permission needed.

More than just text

Add images, music, sound effects, and video to your games. Customise the player interface with HTML and JavaScript to get your game looking exactly how you want.

Publish and share

Publish your game here and players can find and play it without downloading anything — it runs directly in the browser on any device. Or keep it private and share just with friends.
