Mission Link and Photo Attachments

Something that surprised our Product team this month was seeing our data indicate that over half of all Goosechase experiences (51.3% to be exact), contain at least 1 mission that included either an added link or an added photo attachment. In fact, about 10% of all missions created on Goosechase contain an added link, while almost 15% of missions contain an added photo attachment! In our mind, the “core” of Goosechase missions had always been the text-based title and description fields. The link and photo attachment fields were of course available to supplement when creators needed to provide additional context to participants, but we had always primarily pictured media to be incoming from participants’ submissions while completing an experience, rather than something creators were overly concerned about when creating missions in the first place. It seems like there’s actually quite a significant desire from Goosechase creators to use media beyond text to describe mission requirements

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

Discovering creators' dream features through desire paths

One of the ways our product and design teams have gotten inspiration for new features has been to look at where Goosechase creators’ desired outcomes clash against the edges of what our platform’s current capabilities allow. Similar to how urban planners often observe “Desire Paths” formed by the organic movement patterns of crowds through unpaved areas in order to decide where actual pathways should be paved in the future, I’m interested in finding out what “desire features” creators have been enabling using their own clever workarounds, that have allowed them to “hack” features into Goosechase that we might not even have known creators have wanted to use.A few examples I’ve heard of in previous conversations with our creators: Permission collection:  Using a text mission worth 0 points in order to get their participants’ permission to use submitted photos or videos for marketing purposes. Points for the fastest submissions:  Including 0-point missions, and using the Dashboard

Elevated team building

Team BuildingSome of my favourite team building activities from past companies, involved a few drinks, a fun activity and a great meal. For others, it’s breaking ourselves down or admitting to weaknesses and bonding over a teams shared strengths.Whats your ideal mix for a team building event?

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.

What makes for a stand out interactive tour?

Interactive tours are a great way to give participants a fully immersive experience while providing them with educational information. They can be used to familiarize guests with the venue layout, give them an overview of the different offerings, and influence participants to engage with less “Sexy” exhibits.Other than Goosechase Experiences, what other immersive / interactive experiences have you taken part in? What did they do really well that made them stick out in your mind, where did they fall short? Anything you would borrow for your own use?

There doesn’t have to be a prize! 🏆

I made the mistake of offering a prize to the winning team when I ran my very first GooseChase challenge. Now the students always expect there to be a prize for every GooseChase. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lesson learned!

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

Expired Missions

I am running a year long event with GooseChase with new monthly missions every month (usually 12-15 new missions). It would be great if you could archive old missions without team members losing their points. As we are now on the 9th month and it makes for a very large list of missions I need to scroll through as the creator. Every month I have to click and drag new missions up to the top and in the order I need. Maybe there is an easier way I am unaware of? Or maybe something to update in the future.

Suggestions for a Ed Leadership Conference?

Hi All,  I am running a goosechase at a conference that I am leading as part of my doctoral capstone project. There is not a lot of free time but I would like to do things that are fun but also aligned with the event itself. I am thinking of tweeting or posting things.Intorducing yourself to strangersFind a faculty member for a picture? (They may hate me for that) And other ideas?  Here is our schedulehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1j8DCgPknyvlwxj6PLiXUv1C35RCkMnEZVGAwT-mP7mY/edit

Motivating experience participation

I think a lot of new creators would say that the hardest part of building out your first Goosechase experience is… actually building out the experience. And not to take anything away from those struggles, but thankfully that learning curve isn’t too big AND once you’ve got it figured out… you’re flying!The real struggle is… once you have your masterpiece built, what then? What’s the point of having this great experience if no one knows about it?So my question is… What are your top 3 ways to motivate people to participate in your Experiences? This can be from a promotion of your experience, communication, education, etc.

Take a penny, leave a penny

Leave one, Take one… templateOk, no pennies, but how about some educator template sharing? Here’s how this works… share a link to one of your favourite experiences that you’ve run (or rerun) in the past. And to make things more fun, if you leave a template (penny), then you get to ask for a template you’ve been looking forExample: I leave a link to my best math Goosechase experience for others to copy, and now that I’ve left one I’m looking for a great Museum Field trip Goosechase.Ready set go!~
