Quests on Discord offer a fun way to explore games and new content while earning rewards. By completing a Quest—whether it's playing a game or watching a trailer for an upcoming show—you can unlock exclusives which may include in-game items or currency, or Discord avatar decorations. Read on to learn more!
What are Discord Quests?
Quests are a way for players to discover games and new content while earning rewards for playing, streaming, or watching videos on Discord.
Each Quest has a specific timeframe for acceptance and completion. Rewards are subject to specific terms. You can find the promotion terms for each Quest on the Quest Home page or after accepting the Quest.

You may see an alert in your Discord app about a Discord Quest. Hover over the Quest bar and select it to expand and learn more about the Quest. To participate, press Accept Quest for a Game Quest or Start Video Quest for a Video Quest.

Completing the Quest Requirements
Discord offers three types of Quests:
| Quest Requirement | Description |
| Playing a Game | Engage with the game for a specified duration (e.g., 15 minutes). Ensure you're logged into the Discord desktop app while playing to track progress accurately. |
| Streaming a Game | Stream the game to at least one friend in a Discord voice channel using the desktop app for a minimum duration (e.g., 15 minutes). For detailed instructions on Go Live and screen sharing, refer to the support article. |
| Watching a Video | Watch the required video or trailer in Discord's desktop app or browser client. The video pauses if you switch windows, but don't worry - your progress is saved and you can resume watching later. |

For Discord-specific rewards (such as avatar decorations), the reward will be automatically added to your Discord account once you claim it.
Controlling the Quest Promotions You See
We've built controls into the Quest experience to help you manage the types of Quests you see:
Hide an In-app Promotion of an Individual Quest
If you want to hide an in-app promotion for a specific Quest or game you’re not interested in, press the ellipsis [] on the Quest in-app promotion to access the menu and then select Hide This to hide this particular in-app promotion.
Once you've done this, you'll no longer receive notifications about this Quest in that particular in-app promotion style.
If you encounter a different in-app promotion for that same Quest (for example, you may also see the Quest in the Active Now section of the Discord app) you can hide those by following the steps mentioned above.
“Hide This” Option in Quest In-App Promotion
Opt-out of personalized promotion for all Quests
If you do not want to receive personalized promotions for any Quests based on your activity or data you share with Discord, you can disable your In-game rewards (aka Quests) settings within your Privacy & Safety settings.
1. Press the cogwheel [] in the bottom left corner of your Discord desktop/browser app to navigate to your User Settings.
2. Then select the Privacy & Safety tab in the left hand panel and scroll down to the How We Use Your Data section.
3. Disable the In-game rewards (aka Quests) setting by selecting the toggle. You can learn more about how data is used for in-game rewards here.
