Essentials Challenges
Booth Passport games benefit greatly from QR Code Check-in, Check-in Code and answering a trivia question to drive traffic through different areas of their booths.
Here's how these challenges work:
QR Code Check-Ins
Players will scan a QR Code and earn points for completing a checkin. If players use the QR code reader, they will not need to re-enter their credentials.
How To Improve Your Game
Give booth staff Secret QR Codes worth one entry into the drawing. Staff can give these to higher value leads.
Check-In Codes
Check-in Codes are an alternative to scanning QR Codes. Players can enter a passphrase or secret code to complete the activity and earn points.
Check-In Codes are only available through the Player App
How To Improve Your Game
Rather than use password style codes, make your check-in codes vocabulary words.
Turn your checkin code into a riddle. Enter the riddle in the instructions field.
Trivia Question (Open Ended)
An open ended trivia question allows you to ask players questions and get a response. Players will earn points for correct responses.
Pro Challenges

Trivia is great for quizzing attendees on product knowledge, engaging your audience with questions related to your organization, or making your event fun with challenging questions and a live leaderboard that sparks competition.

Use a count down timer set to 25 seconds and assign a high value to the points.
Create 2-3 questions for each learning objective in your quiz.
Photo Challenge
Your players can upload a picture and get points as a reward. You can also create either a photo collage or a Scrolling Photo Gallery that picks all submissions and displays them to everyone! These screens can also be embedded on a website.
How does it work:
Players may complete the challenge one time. (One photo per challenge)
Each photo gallery is built around the challenge.
Photo moderation can be mandatory or by exception.
Not all photo challenges will yield a gallery worth sharing.
Here is an example of the scrolling photo wall.
How To Improve Your Game

Show the galleries at social events.
Do not feel obligated to share all of the photo galleries. Sometimes they are all the same picture and don't look good in a gallery.
