What is EstimateQuest?
EstimateQuest is a free, real-time Planning Poker application designed to make sprint estimation sessions engaging and efficient. It wraps the classic Planning Poker technique in a retro pixel art game aesthetic.

How a Session Works
Section titled “How a Session Works”
EstimateQuest supports three roles:
| Role | Can Vote | Controls Flow | Sees Votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moderator | No | Yes | After reveal |
| Voter | Yes | No | After reveal |
| Spectator | No | No | After reveal |
The moderator creates the session and controls the flow — starting votes, revealing cards, setting estimates, and navigating between quests. Voters select their estimates from the card deck. Spectators observe the session without participating in votes.
Learn more about each role in Understanding Roles.
