Step 1: Plan your event
The Essentials Plan works great for Booth Passport games or Scavenger Hunts that rely on getting people to scan QR Codes or entering codes to score points and discover new content.
Put yourself in your player's shoes and think about their journey, from the very beginning up until the very last challenge they complete. Ask yourself the following questions:
Are players entering a code or are they scanning QR codes?
What does the game look like?
Will this game be embedded into my existing mobile event app?
Do I want players to register when playing, or should I pre-register them?
What will they earn for participating?
How will they earn an entry into the raffle drawing? Should they be able to earn multiple raffle entries or just one entry?
How will you get the word out and encourage players to participate in your game?
Do you want to get a notification or send the player's data to a URL every time someone new registers?
As you determine the answers to these questions, you'll find out how you want the game to be played by your attendees. These answers will help you easily set up your game.
