Visibility Automation

I am wondering if it is possible to only allow missions to become visible once the previous automation is completed? For example if I had 5 missions the first mission would be the only one available at the start then when they finish that number 2 becomes available and so on all the way to the end. I can only see a way to make them available at specific times related to the whole experience.Thanks!

Can I add an administrator?

I’m trying to add an administer for my game. I’m pretty sure I’ve done this in previous games I’ve run, but I can’t for the life of me remember how. Any advice?

Tricky automation...

My game goes live to players on April 19. One of the missions that requires getting a GPS tag takes place at a specific time range and place on April 22. We don’t want players to be able to get that GPS tag until the designated time on the 22nd, however, we want them to be able to see the mission on the 19th so that they can make plans.How should we set up the automation to do that?

Looking for mission ideas for an Easter Egg Hunt!

Hi all! I am hosting a little Easter brunch this weekend and (more importantly) an EASTER EGG HUNT for my friends. We are of course going to use Goosechase! 🥚🐣🐰🍫I have a lot of friends who live in my neighbourhood so we're making little egg-stations on each of their porches or back yards, so a mixture of GPS and photo missions. As well as finding eggs, I am adding some fun bonus missions as opportunities to earn extra points (e.g. snap a photo if you meet a neighbourhood cat along the way). I also want to make them do some silly things, e.g. film a video of themselves hopping like a bunny in the most public place possible.Wondering if anybody has any ideas for other funny missions or side quests I could add in?

What is the mission count maximum?

My experience is fast approaching 400 missions. Is there a hard limit to the number of missions? Is there a point where the participants’ devices have trouble keeping up with the number of missions (performance-wise)?

Embracing goose chase to develop awareness and promote bike trails.

I ran across Goosechase while watching videos on YouTube last night and my head almost exploded :).  For a couple of years I have been trying to figure out how to get people out on bike trails to get healthy, improve mental health by being outside while building awareness of the many great small businesses on these same bike trails.  And to do this with minimal outside support/volunteers,Right now I am trying to develop a business model to create and sponsor these Getting Dirty with Glenn (a brand I have developed since my wife passed away which includes, gardening, cycling and kayaking, hence the name) Wild Goose Chases.  I have so many questions thanks in advance for bearing with me… My wife passed away in January of 2023 and for the 34 years we were married, cycling on bike trails was a key part of our lives.  Since her passing I have embraced our love for cycling to simply help with my mental health tour this past year…..Those are the Cliff’s Notes of WHY!I want to create Wild Goos

Issue with reordering missions

I'm having trouble manually reordering my missions.For some of them, they reorder as expected when I drag/drop.For others I can reorder the item, but when I perform the Drop part of Drag and Drop, it places the item several places further down the list instead.And for some others, I can't reorder it at all. When I drop the item, the Item Saved popup doesn't appear, and when I reload the page, it's back where it was.I really need these items to be in a specific order for this experience. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

Is there a way to text an experience/mission prior to our event?

“test”, not “text”I’m trying to get a better idea of the user experience before the date of the actual event and I want to test many of the elements in advance so that the team is adequately prepared. Can I create a bunch of missions and do a “dress-rehearsal” with the team prior to the main event? Alternately, can I go “live” with a very limited number of people for testing, pause the experience, then resume for the real event later?

Multiple entries for each mission

Hi all! Is there a way to make it to where they can make multiple submissions to a mission? For example, if one of my missions is to take a picture of a one syllable word, can they find multiple pictures? Once she submitted one, the mission went away.

Is it possible to make missions visible without making them available?

Hey all!  I want my teams to be able to see the missions before the event goes live so they can plan out their strategies.  Is there a way to make the mission list visible without actually making them available to complete?

Duplicate Missions *within* an experience

Hi,I’m wondering if it is possible to duplicate missions within an experiene. I know you can duplicate entire experiences and pull missions from previous experiences. But I want to create several versions of missions that are different in only a few ways so want to duplicate within a mission to save a lot of time. The only other way I’ve seen to do this is to cut and paste and create new each time which take a whole lot of work. Is there a way around this?

Bulk mission change to Hidden

I have an Experience with over 100 missions. The experience has a running time of 15-30 days. The experience starts with 10 active missions. As days go by, my script changes missions from hidden to active. By the end of the experience, all missions are active. When the experience is over, I copy the experience and set the start and end time for the next class session.My problem: When I do this, all of my missions begin the experience as ACTIVE. Therefore, I have to go into every mission and set it to hidden. This takes an excessively long time. How can I begin my experience with all missions being hidden? There has GOT to be a better way.Help? 🤞

How to get started with Goosechase?

Hi, I am new to using Goosechase and interested in using it for a company-wide event for about 130 employees. It’s our annual company meeting and the only time everyone gets together in person each year, so we want to facilitate mingling and bonding with others outside their team. Has anyone used Goosechase for team building? Any tips that would make it a successful event? Thanks!

City Tour Order (GPS missions)

I'm currently looking if Goosechase will fit my intended purpose. I'd like to make a city tour in a certain order. I can't find an option to unhide GPS missions based on earlier completed missions. Is this not possible? For my purpose I need a mix of (hidden) GPS missions and open choosable other missions.

Picture missions

Hello All, wanted to create a community scavenger hunt that would encourage people to go around the town and do various challenges. This would require check-ins, text answers, and photo answers. My question is how does Goosechase distinguish if the photo is of the correct image before it gives points? Thank you, John

What's the meaning of Community (to you)?

 Hard to believe that it’s now been two weeks since The Nest launched. Each day we’re seeing new members trickle in, and within a few days we’ll cross our first major milestone — 100 Members! As we grow, I’m curious to get a better understanding from this group… What does community mean to you? What does THIS community mean to you?

Goose Related Terms & Phrases

I am creating missions to be used in university courses and would like to include fun, goose-related terms and phrases.  Is there an inspirational list I could use when crafting my experience and mission descriptions?  Does anyone have some phrases they have used that are fun and clever that they would like to share with me? Puns?

Art in the Eye of the Beholder

I have an event on horizon and would like to merge Goosechase and Art.  The obvious connection would be to find pieces of art in the area and have missions centered on those pieces or have a self guided tour of a museum.  I am looking for some other creative ideas…. maybe photography based, art element based, other?I would love to hear what the flock has to say!  Any ideas or inspiration you may have for me is very welcome!
