Definition:
Daily quests are recurring tasks that reset on a regular schedule, offering rewards for repeated completion.
Usage Context:
Used in online games, mobile apps, and gamified platforms to encourage habitual engagement.
Critical Note:
Daily quests prioritise retention over enjoyment. By tying rewards to routine rather than desire, they condition users to log in out of obligation rather than interest.
