IMAGINE THIS

Your day has more in it than everything that went wrong.

You catch yourself laughing with someone you love. You notice the person who showed up for you. You say the kind thing you would usually keep to yourself.

The hard parts of your day are still real. So are those moments.

Gratitude Quest gives you a small, daily way to practice noticing them, then carry that feeling into your life outside the game.

the only thing we see.”Jonathan · From the Gratitude Quest introduction

YOUR FIVE MINUTES ON THE TRAIL

A small quest.
A real moment in your life.

Each day pairs a short teaching with something you can actually try. You can explore more when you have the time.

  1. 01

    Learn something
    you can use.

    A short lesson from the Mended Light team gives you a new way to look at an everyday moment.

  2. 02

    Notice a little
    goodness.

    Your Gratitude Glimmer helps you find something worth appreciating, right where you are.

  3. 03

    Let someone
    feel it, too.

    A Connection Opportunity turns that appreciation into a kind word, a thank-you, or time together.

  4. 04

    Watch your
    practice grow.

    Mark your day, earn coins, and plant seeds in your Gratitude Garden as you go.

Notice something good in an ordinary moment.

FOR YOU · GRATITUDE GLIMMER

During a tense moment, pause and find three things you appreciate. Notice what shifts.

FOR SOMEONE ELSE · CONNECTION OPPORTUNITY

Bring someone their favorite drink, send a funny text, or sit beside them for a little while.

A PRACTICE WORTH EXPLORING

There’s research
behind the practice.

A 2025 research review covering 24,804 people across 28 countries found small average improvements in well-being from gratitude practices. Results varied between studies and countries.

That evidence supports exploring gratitude in daily life. It’s research on gratitude practices generally; the new Gratitude Quest hasn’t been studied for its own outcomes.

WHY I WANTED TO CREATE THIS

We need more chances to feel alive together.

At a business mastermind, I had a realization about how much we need authentic, meaningful human connection. More opportunities to laugh, play, and experience the goodness of being alive together.

I started wondering how we could help people grow and bring them together through play. Something meaningful that you’d naturally want to share with people you love.

We all learn rules about who we’re supposed to be and what it takes to be happy. Some of those rules keep us stuck. I wanted to create a place where we could get curious, practice something different, and begin with gratitude.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON

Room to grow.
Room to be human.

You can bring your real feelings with you. There’s no need to earn your way into being enough.

Free.

All 30 days.
As little as five minutes a day.

A free, 30-day journey. Leave your email and we’ll let you know when it opens.

A practice that comes with you.

A short teaching and something to try in the life you’re already living.

A place to pick back up.

Miss a day? Your waystone stays open. You can continue where you left off.

Space for what you actually feel.

You can appreciate something good and still want parts of your life to change.

Thirty days without a price tag.

The Gratitude Quest is completely free, so you can try the practice for yourself.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Come as you are.
We mean it.

Do I have to be a gamer?

No. Alicia isn’t a gamer, either. The quest is built around short lessons and everyday practices. Bring your curiosity; you can learn your way around as you go.

Is the whole 30-day quest really free?

Yes. The 30-day Gratitude Quest is completely free.

What if I’m having a really hard time?

You can notice something good without talking yourself out of what hurts. The practices make room for both. The quest supports everyday well-being and is not a replacement for professional mental health care.

How much time will it take?

You can take part in as little as five minutes a day. There’s also a world to explore if you’d like to spend more time there.

What happens if I miss a day?

Your waystone stays open. Return when you can and continue from where you left off. The in-game Field Notes journal is optional, too.

YOU CAN BEGIN RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

When you’re waiting for everything to settle down, days can turn into weeks without much space for yourself. Give yourself five minutes to notice what’s here and share something good.

A free, 30-day journey. Leave your email and we’ll let you know when it opens.
