What to expect
Mission list drops soon
The full list stays under wraps until show week, but the Quest will pull you through four kinds of festival moments.
Three ways to win
Quality over quantity
The Quest rewards participation, creativity and community spirit, not just volume. Three separate categories mean three separate chances to be recognized.
The Crown
Quest Champion
For the strongest overall Quest performance and highest total score across the day.
The Vision
Most Creative
For the most original photo or video approach to a mission.
The Heart
Best Community Moment
For the moment that best captures connection, kindness and Good Vibez spirit.
Quest rules
Play with good vibez
The Quest is designed to add to the event, never interrupt it. Respect the venue, the artists, the vendors and each other.
Submit through the official form
Only entries submitted through the official Quest form can be scored. Choose the correct mission, upload your photo or short video, and follow that mission's instructions closely.
One player, one entry
The Quest is an individual competition. You are absolutely welcome to explore and complete missions with friends, but each player competes and submits separately.
One moment, one score
The same photo or video may only be scored once. If several players complete a mission together, each player should submit their own entry.
Mission values stay hidden
Approved submissions earn points based on mission completion, creativity, effort and community spirit. Individual mission values are not revealed in advance, so the Quest is about more than checking off the most missions.
Respect consent
Ask before featuring someone as the main subject of your entry. Stay out of restricted areas, and never interrupt artists, staff, vendors or other guests to complete a mission.
Winners and prize claims
Winners are announced using the Player Name submitted with their entries. If your name appears on the winners list, contact @eyeandi.onsite to claim your prize. Winners may be asked to verify one of their original submissions.
