Things to Do When Bored

Tiny side quests when boredom strikes. Free, fast, and actually fun.

When you're bored at home, bored on a walk, or bored waiting for someone who is always late—side quests give you a micro-mission instead of another hour of scrolling. Filter for 5-minute quests, free quests, or cozy vibes depending on your energy.
