Village:Psychoholics is bringing back the Side Quests contest to this year's ToorCamp.
What is all this?
Hello, SideQuestor!
ToorCamp desperately needs your help. Why, you ask? Is it to build a telephone network from scratch, it's own banking system, a stand up soup kitchen, or it's very own bureaucratic nightmare designed to separate you from your beer as inefficiently as possible?
No, it totally has that covered.
What it *needs* are people to bring about more of the every day shenanigans and hijinks that make ToorCamp the Camp we know and love.
That's where you come in!
The Side Quests contest is back again for ToorCamp 2026. We need you to help complete this years round of Side Quests! We assign you missions to complete to make Camp better! (For some very specific definitions of better, chosen entirely by us at random).
Philosophize with strangers! Engage in disinformation! "Beautify" the camp! Surprise Toorcamp villages when you show up to "help out". Meet and interact with your fellow campers. No you're not being awkward, as you have this little slip of paper that justifies social interaction. Become the antics everyone talks about!
Do you need something to finally justify all those weird things you brought with you to camp?
Do you know who at camp can certify your ability to find rocks?
Do you love animals, and things or people pretending to be animals?
If you answered yes (or no! We're not picky!) to any of these, then Side Quests are for you!
How do I participate?
Head over to the Psychoholics camp to sign up. Get your Side Quest today! New this year, Side Quests will also have a mobile outpost at NIGHTMRKT for late night questing.
How does this work?
Side Quests is a scavenger hunt style game. It leans more toward doing a thing instead of bringing us a thing, but there is a bit of everything in there. Side Quests sends you all over ToorCamp, and gets you interacting with your fellow campers.
Points, represented by Psychoholics Bottle Caps, are rewarded for each quest completed. Each quest is given a base points value based on the quests level of difficulty. But fret not, as that one point challenge you got, can be worth more depending on the amount of style and creativity used, earning you bonus points. Once you have completed a quest our system will assign you a new randomly chosen quest for you to go forth and complete.
And, as a handy bonus Psychoholics bottle caps are a physical tangible currency, great for all kinds of goods, services, and bribery. Each cap is valued at roughly 10 minutes of time, more or less, if you wanted to determine a Shadybucks exchange value.
You are allowed to have up to six active quests assigned to you at any one time. You can abandon a quest, if you don't think you can accomplish it. But unless you can really convince us why we should mark the quest complete without you having done it, abandoning a quest is negative one point.
You can choose to do quests solo, or find yourself a friend to adventure with together. There are LOTs of quests, so you are always going to want to have some on hand to complete as you go about experiencing ToorCamp.
Is Side Quests Kid Friendly?
While Side Quests for the most part is PG, there may be quests (very few) that contain profanity, or bring about potentially unwanted questions from young minds.
When registering we do ask if you are over 18 or not, so our system does not hand out any of the quests we flagged that probably shouldn't be sent to kids. But as always, you as the parent/guardian know what's acceptable or not for your child, we encourage that you work with your kids when getting quests from the system.
Are there prizes?
Are there prizes? Look at this person. You are asking if there are prizes other than the experiences and stories you will have forever? Being the famed winner of our fun little contest isn't good enough? Ok, well ... we probably have some neat stuff around here somewhere to give to the winner.
