Add a Picture Suggestion!! Honk!

I think it would save so much time if there were pre-populated pictures for missions. I often like to add pictures to my missions so that they are eye catching and grab the attention of the players. It takes time to comb the internet and then upload them to Goosechase. I would love it if there were a drop down menu similar to the one in Microsoft Outlook where it suggests stock images and online images. What does everyone else think?

Using AI to help with Mission Ideas

With all the buzz around AI and ChatGPT the past few months, I wanted to see if AI could help create Mission ideas. Nothing beats the carefully curated Missions of a Goosechase creator who really knows their audience, but sometimes that creativity block is real and you need a little help. (Am I right?) Turns out, AI can be surprisingly pretty helpful.Check this out… Read more about my ChatGPT test here → Has anyone else run any cool tests with AI yet?

Fun outdoor Mission ideas

Goosechase is all about getting out of your seats and if the sun is out, you may as well get outside as well! Here are a few outdoor ideas to get your creativity flowing: Do your Missions involve drawing? Swap out the pencils and paper for sidewalk chalk Instead of a one-word answer text Mission, have them make the answer out of sticks they find on the ground and take a picture, or lie on the ground and spell it out with their bodies for a group Mission. Take your participants on a nature walk with a checklist of items to find. These can be simple like "the coolest rock" or "3 different leaves" or as difficult as a specific species of tree, or landmark. Instead of having participants have a coffee meet-up in the break room to get to know one another, have them take walk together around a local park or even a walk around the building at lunch. Keep your participants active by having a contest to see who can get the most steps in by the end of the week. Most phones c

Team Creation and Participant Management

Our product team has recently been diving into the ways creators set up participant team creation and experience join in their Goosechase experiences. With the choice between Teams or Solo Mode, some creators pre-create all teams/participant profiles, while others let participants create their own after they join the experience. We even see some creators do both, pre-creating some teams/participant profiles while also letting participants create their own.Taking a look at our 2022 usage data, we discovered that 22.48% of completed experiences were set up with the creator in full control of the team creation process. They pre-created all teams/participant profiles without checking the option to let participants create their own.Since about 33.62% of experiences over the same time period contained at least one pre-created team/participant profile, this shows that when creators decide to pre-create any team/participant profile, they choose to retain full control of team creation in around

Large building wide student GooseChase tips

My librarian and I started talking about a school wide GooseChase to promote the library during National Library week next week. But the more we talked about it the more we’re probably not going to do it with our high schoolers. Some of the holdups/concerns:is there a way to prevent inappropriate names? is there a better way to try to advertise without the game code being put around the community? can you review submissions before they’re posted to the feed?
