The Loyalty Test That Went Viral
It started with a seemingly simple post: one woman in Singapore paid just $8 to test her boyfriend’s loyalty through a task posted on the app Quest.
What caught everyone off guard was not the request itself, but the overwhelming response. According to a TikTok video that has been widely circulated, 84 people volunteered to help her carry out the test.
“This is bigger than the money. It’s not the $8 that matters; it is the principle.” The narrator praised the sheer integrity and willingness of strangers to help people online.
What Is ‘Quest’?
Quest is a Singapore-made app where you can pay someone to help with almost anything: errands, events, or even the occasional oddball favour.
It is kind of like Fiverr, but built for real-life, on-demand help in your local area.
Started in 2021 by three SMU students, the app aimed to provide people with a way to earn quick cash while helping others with daily tasks.
What began with simple jobs has now evolved into something a lot more creative.
From impersonating a roommate to rescuing someone from a bad date, people are coming up with all sorts of creative and uniquely personal ways to use Quest.
Roommate for Hire (But Just for an Hour)
Another standout request was a call for someone to impersonate a roommate.
Why? Because a woman was apparently living with her boyfriend and needed someone to convince her strict parents that she had a female housemate.
The job came with requirements: applicants had to be in their 20s, female, and be willing to meet the parents face-to-face.
Here’s the twist: her boyfriend had posted the same exact request on the app.
Whether the couple was trying to cover their tracks from both ends or just accidentally mirrored each other’s efforts is unclear, but the irony was not lost on viewers.
Accidental Friend for an Awkward Date
The creativity did not stop there.
One user posted an urgent task: he needed a stranger to crash his date as an “accidental friend” to save him from a bad date experience.
To make it even funnier, he posted the request while his date was in the toilet, a sign of just how desperate he was to get out of the situation.
From Pest Control to Police Station Support
Not all tasks on Quest are dramatic or deceptive.
Some users simply want help with difficult chores, such as asking for help to kill a cockroach in a storeroom.
Others request emotional support, including one instance where someone needed a stranger to accompany them to a police station for moral support.
Comments and Reactions
The video did not just spark curiosity. It lit up the comments section with reactions ranging from amused to reflective.
One commenter jokingly called Quest their new form of daily entertainment, especially after seeing a request involving someone needing help collecting things from an ex’s house.
Another couldn’t resist teasing, asking if the TikTok video itself was a side gig from Quest.
Among the 84 who responded to the original loyalty test, one viewer casually mentioned, “I was one of them,” like it was a badge of honour or maybe just a sign of how fast the Quest community shows up.
Meanwhile, some were eyeing the app’s potential across the border, with multiple users wondering if Quest was available in Malaysia.
For others, the takeaway was simple: a hustle is a hustle.
A few saw it as a lifeline for people needing flexible, fast ways to earn. “Bro, this will be a lifesaver,” one comment read, clearly seeing Quest as more than just quirky gigs and social experiments.
Still, not everyone was completely sold.
One viewer challenged the viral narrative, asking if testing your significant other might actually be a “red flag” in itself, a fair point in an otherwise lighthearted thread.
But perhaps the most relatable reaction came from those ready to act: “Time to download this app and make money.”
The Bigger Picture
While some posts may seem funny or questionable, they reveal a deeper shift: people are more willing than ever to help strangers, no matter how odd the request.
Quest is becoming more than a side hustle app; it’s turning into a space for real-life connection.
