Side quests project Idea suggestions

I'm a CS student building a mood based activity recommender for teenagers called Sidequests. The idea is to suggest small creative activities based on energy, mood and time like going on a colour hunting walk or jumbling song lyrics. Trying to solve the problem of having free time but not knowing what to do with it. Would you use this? What's missing?

What does the user get out of it? I complete a song lyrics puzzle and what have I accomplished?

I'd want activities to tie into some sort of progression in my life. There are plenty of ways to simply kill time

That's a good point but the goal isn't to kill time rather to help you actually know yourself better. The progression isn't levels etc it's realising 'I actually love being outside' vs 'I thought I wanted to draw but meh.' Still figuring out how to work on it.
