Creative Quests is a worldwide community and creative playground for people fuelled by curiosity.
We believe creativity lives in everyone. It’s a feeling or an attitude we can channel into everything we do. We all have the capacity for imagination, playfulness and bringing ideas to life. With Creative Quests, it’s our mission to guide people toward this place of creative self-belief.
Since 2021, we’ve led month-long, collective learning journeys (a.k.a. Quests) exploring an eclectic mix of themes. Along the way, we've cultivated a global community of curious spirits and built an extraordinary digital archive of creative perspectives and practices.
Our Quests have led to intercontinental friendships, countless creative projects, reimagined career paths, people being lifted out of depression, and an overall renewed optimism for life.
Our explorations have also developed into place based experiences, festival activations, card games and the upcoming release of our debut book The Quester’s Guide for Exploring Your World (2025)
We envision a future filled with wildly curious people who feel empowered to channel their creativity towards a more connected, playful, and just world.

OUR STORY
Making Creative Quests has been an adventure in itself. It started in 2016 when Sam Furness set himself a challenge. In an effort to reconnect with his creative self and make better use of his spare time, he set out to immerse himself in a different form of creativity each month – for a whole year.
Making how others make. Doing as others do. Living how others live.
Over the course of that year, Sam began to notice something profound. Not only was he living a more eclectic lifestyle - but inspiration for innovative, creative ideas were coming in more volume and more variety than ever before. The way he saw the world was changing. The project quickly became a mindset.
Sam kept Questing in his spare time - then launched Creative Quests as a communal version of his explorations in January 2021.
