A Living RPG World

The Forest Changes With Time

Neuro Venture follows your device's local time, changing the forest background automatically as your real day moves forward.

☀

Morning

From 5:00 AM, the forest wakes with a bright morning scene for the start of your daily adventure.

✦

Afternoon

From 12:00 PM, the world shifts into its daytime forest while you continue your quests.

☾

Night

From 6:00 PM, the forest becomes a nighttime realm until morning returns.

✦

World Tip: You do not need to change anything—the background updates automatically to keep your adventure in sync with the real world.

Quest Log

Quests

Your tasks become quests. Add them quickly from Home or open the reminder screen to choose difficulty, scheduling, notes, and notifications.

Quest Difficulty

Difficulty controls the base reward for a completed quest. Choose the level that matches the effort—not how important the task looks to someone else.

ϟEasy+5 XP / +5 Gold

⚔Medium+10 XP / +10 Gold

◆Hard+15 XP / +15 Gold

Free Adventurer Limit: Free users can have up to 8 active tasks at a time. This is your task capacity—not the daily reward limit. Home quick tasks use the app's default reward behavior. Open the full reminder screen when you want to select a difficulty.

Dynamic Island & Live Activities

On supported iPhones, an active quest timer appears in the Dynamic Island and as a Live Activity, so the countdown stays visible outside the app.

On iPad, use the in-app countdown and supported Live Activity experience. iPad does not have a Dynamic Island.

Notification Actions

Quest reminder notifications offer quick actions to Start Timer, Snooze 10 min, or Complete. When a focus session finishes, its notification lets you complete the linked quest.

Live Activities and Dynamic Island must be allowed by the device and operating system. Dynamic Island requires a supported iPhone model.

Stamina Warning

Hero Exhaustion

⚔

Daily Reward Limit Reached

Your hero needs rest.

Neuro Venture rewards the first 10 tasks you complete each day. After the 10th rewarded completion, your hero becomes exhausted and additional XP and Gold rewards pause until the next day.

You can still complete tasks while your hero is exhausted. This limit keeps progression balanced and prevents unlimited reward farming. The existing 100 XP daily cap remains part of your Daily XP progress.

✦

Adventurer Tip: Completing more tasks is still useful after your hero is exhausted. You can keep checking off tasks, but XP and Gold rewards resume the next day.

Wisdom from the Trail

Tips for Adventurers

Quest small

“Put one shirt away” is a valid quest. Small steps build momentum.

Choose honestly

Pick difficulty based on how the task feels for you today.

Schedule sparingly

Give alerts only to quests that truly need a time, so important reminders stand out.

Rest is allowed

The goal is steady progress—not a perfect quest log every day.

Help from the Guild

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Why didn't I earn XP or Gold?

Your hero may already have earned rewards from 10 completed tasks today. After the 10th rewarded completion, XP and Gold pause until the next day, but you can still complete tasks.

Why is my hero exhausted?

Your hero earns rewards from up to 10 completed tasks per day. After the 10th rewarded completion, exhaustion begins to keep progression balanced. This is separate from the Free plan capacity of 8 active tasks.

What is the Free Adventurer task limit?

Free users can have up to 8 active tasks at one time. This is a capacity limit. Hero Exhaustion is different: it begins after 10 rewarded task completions in a day.

How do I change difficulty?

Open the full Add Reminder screen and choose Easy, Medium, or Hard before adding the quest.

How do I schedule a reminder?

Tap the calendar button on Home, turn on Set due date & time, then select the date, time, and optional repeat schedule.

How do I enable notifications?

Allow notifications in iOS Settings and enable the notification option when scheduling an eligible quest. Notification features may require Premium.

How do I snooze a notification?

Press and hold the quest reminder notification to reveal its actions, then choose Snooze 10 min. Notification presentation can vary by iOS or iPadOS version and device settings.

How do I start a focus timer?

Open an active quest and tap its timer control. Choose a suggested duration or Custom, then tap Start. The countdown remains tied to that quest.

How do I add a Neuro Venture widget?

Touch and hold the Home Screen, open Add Widget, search for Neuro Venture, choose Small, Medium, or Large, and place it on your Home Screen.

Why isn't my widget showing the latest progress?

Open Neuro Venture to publish the newest quest snapshot. Widget refresh timing is also managed by iOS or iPadOS, so an update may not appear immediately.

How do I connect Apple Health?

Open Profile, choose Connect Apple Health, and allow read access to Steps. The current Health integration uses today's step count and your selected step goal.

Why isn't Dynamic Island showing?

Dynamic Island requires a supported iPhone, an active focus session, and Live Activities enabled in device settings. On iPad, use the in-app countdown and supported Live Activity experience instead; iPad does not have Dynamic Island.
