Quests that are optional to a game's main quest structure.
Games that are built around players solving quests can have several types of quests. Sidequests are the ones that are not part of a larger main quest but instead are optional.

Examples
Sidequests are most commonly found in Computer-based Roleplaying Games since they usually have extensive worlds and storylines. Examples of such games include the Dragon Age series, the Elder Scrolls series, and the Fallout series. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is an example of a First-Person Shooter using Sidequests.
