The First Quest

The first quest players encounter is slightly differant in that it does not request information or poses a challenge, instead it is a welcome video with the following text:

Dear Beta Tester - it is an honor to welcome you.

In the upcoming weeks, we'll gradually bring other members like you to join our platform and experiment the Tender universe.

For this first week, a few exclusive members have been invited to test basic features. Take the time to create your account and profile, and explore the platform.

We have 2 or 3 quests for you to complete, depending on your profile and emotional states - you can access them on your Tender home screen.

During the next 6 to 8 weeks, we will keep adding various missions and challenges in your account. The more your progress, the more chances you'll have to find your ultimate soulmate, so keep coming back.

After completing this, players are released into a more open-world format with multiple choices of what to do next.

Emotional Activities

Emotional Activities are mini-challenges or tasks within the Tender App, with the reward being more XP for your profile.

The quest of emotions...

This the first Emotional Activity players will come across, available immediately after the welcome video is completed. The video for this activity contains the following message:

Some of the tasks we will ask you to do involve searching for knowledge, going deep into your soul, or expanding your horizons.

Today, we want you to learn more about emotion, namely the Robert Plutchik wheel of emotions - a fundamental work in psychology. Plutchik's research involves the study of suicide, violence and psychotherapy process. He considers there to be 8 primary emotions: anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation, and joy.

We left out one emotion from that list. Use your research skills on the web to find out what emotion is missing. It is one fundamental emotion in the Tender world.

When you've found it, enter the answer in the box below.

By researching Plutchik's wheel of emotions, players can find the full list of 8 basic emotions and, as a result, the missing emotion - Trust.

Who am I?

This quest unlocked on 2019-02-10 with a new video titled Poison and the following message:

I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

This is the poem A Poison Tree by William Blake. By entering William Blake in the answer field, the quest is completed.

Reflect on your life for 1 minute

This emotional activity was only available on 2019-02-14 and only asked the user to watch a video before completing the task (no challenge or input field was present).

Find your first match

This emotional activity became available on 2019-02-15 and was referenced in an email sent to player. The activity includes a video which announces to the player that a match has been found for them - their task is to find who this user is based on a number of interests.

We understand your pain - all these night alone, this wasted life. All this untapped potential that could be shared with your soulmate. We are here for you.

Our algorithms have analysed your input and actions, the profiles you looked at, what you love, who you are, what you did last weekend. We'd like to introduce you to your first match. She is often on Tender - alone. She grows more distant from her husband every day. We think it's a good time to approach her.

We have set the stage and presented your profile - she likes you. It's time to like her back. She loves cats and Thanatology, but she's missing a toe. She's not online at the moment so you may not have the chance to talk to her, but go ahead, explore her soul and try to conquer her heart.

Explore the various profile lists on your home screen and hit the heart button. When you find who she is, put her nickname down below and complete this quest.

Based on the information provided, users can search the profiles available and find one by a user called DeepSapphire4 with the following info:

Bio: 
Humble, honest worker looking to add something more to my day. Try to tame this wild mare and you're in for a hell of a ride. I have one missing toe and, according to my husband, too many horse paintings.

Interests: 
Horror, Metal, Fashion, Cats, Thanatology

By entering DeepSapphire4 the quest is completed.

Goodbye

After completing the first match activity and reaching level 4, this emotional activity becomes available. There is no answer to fill in with only a video to watch.

You will find a little heart on your screen, click it to see your match. The one who, one day, may become your soulmate. Each match comes with individual and personal quests to discover and learn more about them. When you reach the end of their challenge, and if they are online, you will be able to talk to them.

But for this session, you did well. You now have your first match. We will keep bringing candidates to your doorstep. We hope you enjoy your time with us, we love you very much.

Activity Statuses

Activity Statuses vary from Emotional Activities in that they are just asking the player how they feel, or what they've done recently, rather than challenging them to solve a riddle or puzzle. As a result there is no known right or wrong answer to any of these.

• Hungry

DeepSapphire4 soulmate quests

After clicking on the heart on DeepSapphire4's profile during or after the Find your first match emotional activity, her soulmate quest line becomes available.

Learn my past

The first challenge includes a video and the following text:

[Difficulty Easy}
[Answer: XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXX XXX]

The message within the video is as follows:

DeepSapphire4 asked to be anonymous. Some members will talk directly to you, while other will use our algorithm voice to share their intimate secrets.

For this first quest, she would like you to learn about her past. When she was young, she was torn between intense and opposite emotions: love and hate, tenderness and anger. In a moment of confusion and distress, she set her favourite plush toy on fire. She was surprised by the pleasant feeling that came after the fire, a feeling of reassurance and relaxation following a release from the anxiety that was choking her.

To this day, a painting from Francisco de Goya, between 1819 and 1823, reminds her of this moment. To continue your quest, enter the name of this painting.

By searching for works by Francisco Goya between 1819 and 1823, the Black Paintings can be found. One of the most famous paintings within this series is Saturn Devouring His Son - a title which also matches the answer format provided. By entering this in the answer field this challenge is complete.

Learn my hope

The second challenge follows the same format with a video and the following text:

[Difficulty Easy]
[Answer: XX XXXXX XX X'XXXXX]

The message within the video is as follows:

DeepSapphire4 is a romantic. She is a dreamer and a lost soul. Her husband does not understand the way someone like you could. Some dream of vacations, their breath taken away by the beauty of the world. Some dream of passion, the intoxicating chemistry of love and physical contact. Others dream of things beyond this world.

DeepSapphire4 does not belong to any of these dreamer types. She wants to move on. She wants her life to metamorphosise into something else. She wants to find the doorway to her new life and her hope, is you.

To complete this task, search for an iconic sculpture that represents this goal - this transition to another life. Look into the work of the French sculptor named Auguste Rodin. Don't be shy, talk about Tender to your friends, ask for help online if you need to.

By searching the works of Auguste Rodin, one particular sculpture can be found - The Gates of Hell. This sculpture is intended to depict the the doorway to Hell as described by Dante in his Inferno. This corresponds with DeepSapphire4's dream to "find the doorway to her new life". By entering the original French name - La Porte de l'Enfer - the challenge is completed.
