Frequently asked questions

EcoQuest is a free-to-start wildlife geography game. You find real places on a world map, learn through play in each zone’s atlas, then take a wildlife trivia quiz. There are 50 Mystery Zones and 150 Living Atlas species cards. Play in any modern browser at ecoquest.app.

Each zone teaches geography and ecology through play: where a place is, what lives there, and why the habitat matters. Facts come from the zone’s own atlas, then the quiz tests that knowledge. EcoQuest is a game for players aged 13 and over. It is not an educational product and it is not sold to schools.

Both games ask you to locate a place. EcoQuest is wildlife-first: you drop pins on an illustrated world map, use ecology clues, collect species cards, and take quizzes. It does not use Street View panoramas. GeoGuessr is a trademark of its owner. EcoQuest is an independent game and is not affiliated with GeoGuessr.

Party matches share the feel of a live quiz with friends: timed questions and a shared scoreboard. EcoQuest’s match is a hosted geography-and-wildlife game for 2–5 friends, not a quiz-authoring host for any topic. Kahoot! is a trademark of Kahoot! ASA. EcoQuest is not affiliated with Kahoot and is not a classroom product.

EcoQuest is free to start. The four paid expeditions are one-time purchases: US$4.99 for any one expedition, US$8.99 for any two, and US$12.99 for all four. You never pay twice for an expedition you already own, and every path to owning all four totals US$12.99. Full details are on the pricing page.

No. EcoQuest is fully playable as a guest. An account is optional and saves your progress. It uses your email to run the account; you may also set an optional explorer name for leaderboards. We do not ask for your real name, phone number, or precise location. Accounts are for players aged 13 and over.

Every pack is a one-time purchase. You pay once, the zones unlock in your account and stay yours — there is no recurring charge, and all prices are shown in real dollars. Payments are handled by Paddle, our merchant of record. See the refund policy for how refunds work.

EcoQuest is a general-audience game for players aged 13 and over. Creating an account asks you to confirm your age.

As little as we need to run the game. Guests play with no email — progress bests stay on your device, and finished geography/quiz attempts may be stored under an anonymous device id and linked if you later sign up. Accounts use email (and optional explorer name) plus gameplay progress, play attempts, and thin product-use events (for example signup or store steps). Explorer names and scores may appear on leaderboards; email never does. We use cookieless site analytics and have no advertising tracking pixels. Full details are in the privacy policy.

Rachamim Labs pledges 20% of EcoQuest’s revenue to environmental conservation partners. This is a company-level commitment, and each year we publish exactly which organisations received donations and how much on the impact page.

EcoQuest runs in any modern web browser at ecoquest.app — on phones, tablets, and computers. You can also add it to your home screen for an app-like, full-screen launch.
