End of The Nest ... and what comes next 🧡

This isn't a goodbye, just see you later!We’ve got some bittersweet news—the time has come for The Nest to spread its wings and migrate south. After almost two years of amazing community connections and live events, we’ve decided to close The Nest's website and shift our focus to nurturing our community in other ways. The Nest will officially close on October 31, 2024. So, what comes next? The flock is going to explore exciting new ways to grow our community and amplify all the incredible things YOU are doing. Questions? Brilliant ideas to grow a thriving community of Creators? Email me at craig@goosechase.com, tag us on social, or honk at us anytime at hi@goosechase.com. Thank you for making The Nest a wonderful place to ask questions, get answers, and honk about anything under the sun. This isn't a goodbye, just see you later! -Craig 🧡

International Dot Day

Does anyone out there celebrate International Dot Day at their school? If you are not familiar, International Dot Day, celebrated on September 15th(ish), is a global event inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot. The day encourages creativity, courage, and collaboration by inviting people of all ages to make their mark and celebrate their unique talents and ideas. It's often observed in schools with art projects and activities that promote self-expression and confidence.I am a huge Peter Reynolds fan, and I celebrate with my different classes with different Dot themed activities each year. One of my favorite activities is the Dot Day Goosechase that I do with my 1st graders. They explore the campus seeking out dots of different colors and sizes. The catch though, they only get points if they capture a dot that no one else did! This encourages creativity and makes for a fun competition. Here is a copy of my Goosechase if you would like to try it out! https://gsch.se/game/875f4d9e7af

Adding missions from previous experiences but set them to hidden by default

Hi, This is my 3rd year using GooseChase. I like re-using challenges from my previous experiences but when I go to add them, they are automatically set to available. Is there a way to set them to hidden before I re-use them. I rushing back and forth between my old experience and my active experience trying to set the new challenges to hidden before people try to compete them.Thanks
