Mission Difficulty Levels

Is there a way to assign difficulty levels to goosechase missions? I want to have the same mission but at varying difficulties so people can choose based on their ability (age, tech savviness, area that they’re in) I don’t want to have to create separate scavenger hunts based on level of difficulty.

School Welcome Back Family Goosechase

Hello Folks, We’re hoping to host a weeklong Goosechase in which families in our school would participate. We are a big school, so maybe about 200 families. Has anyone hosted anything like this before? What was your experience like- any challenges, lessons? We’d love to have a complete picture before we jump headlong into this. TIA.

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?

How do I add a link to a 3rd party for accepting payments for my ticketed event?

Hi everyone! We are hosting a ticketed fundraising road rally in October and are new to GC. The organization we are raising funds for will be accepting all payments received, through their website, for registration as well as accepting donations prior, during, and after the event.

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!

Top FAQs that can help you take your Experience to the next level

Once you get the hang of things, there are lots of little things you can tinker with in the Experience Manager to fit exactly what you are looking to do. Here are a few articles I would suggest taking a look at if you are looking to level up! How to change the order of my Missions? - This may seem like a simple how-to article but in actuality, it is filled with examples that will guide you on the best way to sort your Missions. Do you want your participants to strategize by points? Are you looking for a way to group Missions? Do you want to space out your participants so that they do not flock (pun intended) to one location? The answers are here! What are automations? - Automations are one of those features that seem daunting, but they are actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it! One of our favourite uses for automations is to create flash Missions that release for a short period of time and then expire. These are great to drive your participants into your Experience (if you

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.
