We release new features and fixes every 2-4 weeks, depending on the complexity and number of tickets. Here's a list of our most recent releases and a quick summary:
06/19/2025 - Reports, Rewards, and User ID Registration
We have updated how you access reports and rewards in Participation Game. We also added a new way of registering/logging in to a game: User ID.
Participation Game Dashboard: Renamed to Reports and added a new tab.
New tab: Downloadable Reports - here you'll find all of your game data, including player registration information, specific challenge completions, photos uploaded into a challenge, and survey responses.
Rewards: Usability update - You can now see the Reward configuration straight from the Rewards list. You can also edit the Reward from the Edit Reward tab instead of clicking the Edit button (now gone).
User ID Registration - You can now set Registration to Email or User ID on all Participation Games.
Enabling UserID will require either Email or Mobile Phone to be active for PIN recovery purposes.
Auto-Login and Auto-Registration using third-party apps like Eventmobi or CVENT will use a new URL parameter: userid. This is automatically updated under Links if you set Registration to User ID.
05/29/2025 - New Activities for Participation Game
We launched 3 new activities for Ultimate subscriptions: Memory, Categories, and This or That.
Memory: Players get to match 8 pairs of words and get points after they've completed the game.
Categories: Match the words to their categories to get points! Failed attempts deduct points.
This or That: Pancakes or Waffles? Marketing or IT? Mayo or Ketchup? Poll your participants on what their favorite is (yes, some people dip their fries in Mayo) and get results after completing the activity.
05/01/2025 - Challenge Uploader improvements
Uploading and downloading challenges in APG is easier now!
Updated the Participation Game uploader to do the following:
Replaced Columns A and B with new, easy-to-remember values (App - Check-in, QR - Word Cloud, etc.)
Updated spreadsheet here
Essentials, Pro, and Ultimate get their own templates
Uploading challenges without an Icon is now possible, the system assigns an icon that is related to the activity (A trophy for Trivia, Camera for Photo upload, etc.)
