Today, Team TwilioQuest is thrilled to share the first installment of the JavaScript Test Lab, a fully rebuilt and reimagined set of fun challenges to introduce players to JavaScript. You can download TwilioQuest and play it right now! And as a bonus, trying out TwilioQuest and this new mission in the month of March will help plant a tree in support of reforestation efforts in Australia. Read on for more details about your new mission, and how to plant trees in Australia by playing TwilioQuest.

A New Mission

In the brand new JavaScript Test Lab mission, you will work with a team of scientists researching the energy-producing qualities of ducktypium, the mysterious source of JavaScript's power. Throughout the lab, you will hone your JavaScript skills as the research team reaches a critical phase of their project. However, when dealing with a power as raw and unstable as JavaScript, you should be prepared for anything... Download TwilioQuest and check out the JavaScript Test Lab mission in the Mission Computer today!

Ducktypium research is underway!

Supporting Reforestation in Australia

Australia has suffered incredible environmental damage in a continuous string of wildfires during the last several months. To help with reforestation efforts, Twilio is teaming up with OneTreePlanted.org to help repair some of the damage. During the month of March, TwilioQuest players can complete two specific mission objectives in TwilioQuest, and Twilio will sponsor the planting of two trees in Australia (up to 10,000).

Play TwilioQuest, and Twilio will plant up to two trees in Australia thanks to your efforts! Here's what you need to do in order to get your trees planted.

Download TwilioQuest and create a new character (or return once again to the Fog Owl with your existing character). Trees can be planted by new or returning players. Once in the game, there are two locations where you can complete an objective to plant a tree.

Tree Objective #1 can be found in the Basic Training mission, on the western side of the map.

Tree Objective #1

Interact with the Hacking Tool by approaching the red computer screen and pressing the spacebar. For the tree planting objectives, all you need to do is click HACK, and Twilio will plant your tree!

Your second opportunity to plant a tree is found in the new JavaScript mission. Follow along with the story until you are able to reach the botany wing (south wing) of the lab, where the research team is studying the effect of ducktypium on plant life. There, you will find another objective where you can plant a tree.

Tree Objective #2

Once again, just open the Hacking Tool and click HACK. And then, Bob's your uncle, a second tree will be planted in Australia!

A Time-Sensitive Mission

This program will only be available through March of 2020, so download TwilioQuest and get started as soon as you can. As an individual player, you can only plant two trees - so make sure to tell a friend to pitch in so we can make that 10,000 tree goal in March!

Thanks for your help with reforestation in Australia, and we hope you love the newest mission in TwilioQuest!
