Quests are multi-day creative challenges built around a central theme, with a new sub-theme to explore each day. You can submit up to four entries per day — perfect for experimenting, sharing variations, or posting your creative misfires.
The most recent quest was Seven Nights of Halloween. It ran October 24–31, 2026 (UTC) and has ended. It was a new Halloween theme each day, plus optional extra credits if you shared an entry outside NightCafe with #NightCafeAfterDark. There is no quest open in its place.
See the full guide: Seven Nights of Halloween. The quest page is still at the quest page.
On a phone, tap Play in the bottom bar, then Quests. If you are already in a quest, that quest also appears at the top of the Play menu with an Active label. On desktop, open Quests from the profile / more menu, or go to creator.nightcafe.studio/quests. See Getting around NightCafe on mobile.
Quests have a reward system based on XP and levels. You earn XP by participating and engaging with others, and as you level up you unlock unique badges and increasing credit rewards. Track your XP, achievements and daily tasks from the level meter (in the sidebar on desktop, and top-left on mobile).
Unlike the Daily Challenge, Quests allow video and NSFW content. Note that some users browse with filters that hide these, which can limit how many people see those entries.
Participation is flexible — join as often as you like and skip days when you need to. Quests are experimental, so your feedback is very welcome.
