Treasure Hunt

See how you can easily organize a city game or reward participants for their activities

Encourage participants to use all the attractions and activities your event offers! Use the Treasure Hunt module and create QR codes, where scanning them will translate into collecting points. Hide the codes around the venue, give them to partners, or show them at the end of sessions. Let your participants compete for a prize for the highest number of collected points.

Describe the Code Hunter legend

First, create a QR code hunting scenario tailored to your event’s theme and type. In the Legend image field, change the sample image to a dedicated graphic by clicking the Change button. Then, in the Legend description field, add the game description and rules – give hints on how and where to look for the codes, and what participants can get for the best results.

The graphic and the game description will be visible to event participants in the mobile app, along with information about each code with its points and the number of available scans:

PRO TIP

If you’re organizing a festival, team-building event, or entertainment event, you can create a simple scavenger hunt where participants search for codes hidden around the event area. Codes can also be shared with participants after they complete a task, e.g. posting a photo from an exhibitor’s booth on their social media profiles or leaving a business card for future contact.

If you’re organizing a conference, you can encourage your participants to attend as many workshops and talks as possible. You can place the code on a random slide of the presentation or share it after the talk ends. Participants can scan the code to earn points for attending and get rewarded in an extra way.

Create a welcome screen

The welcome screen is the participant’s first contact with the Tresure Hunt module. In the Intro image field, replace the sample image with a file that has your dedicated graphic. Then add the game name and finally a short description encouraging participants to join the gamification and collect codes. You can hide the Welcome screen by moving the slider to the left.

Welcome Screen will be shown to the participant only once, when they first enter the Treasure Hunt module.

Welcome Screen will be shown to the participant only once, when they first enter the Treasure Hunt. After clicking the Ok button, the participant will be taken to the module where they can scan codes and check the current results. In the top right corner, by clicking on the "i" icon, the participant can display the graphic and the game rules described in the Legend of treasures section any number of times:

Adding QR codes

To generate a QR code, click (+) New code. In the new window, fill in all the fields marked with an asterisk, i.e. specify the code name, the number of points the participant will get after scanning it, and the limit of codes to be scanned. Then save the changes:

To increase competition among participants, introduce a gradation of points and set the maximum number of possible scans for each code. This way, the most engaged (or the fastest runners) participants will have a chance to collect enough points to win prizes.

The codes that are added and generated one by one will be displayed with information about the number of points awarded for each of them. After adding the codes and assigning them appropriate values, you can download them by clicking the cloud icon with a downward arrow. All added codes will be downloaded as a compressed folder. After unpacking it, you can print each code:

Here, by clicking the Tag icon, you can choose tags of user groups for which the module will be visible. You can choose a tag from those previously created in the Tag base section or create a new one by clicking the label on the right:

Leaderboard - check who’s the best

Results from the gamification Treasure Hunt are collected by the system and shared on an ongoing basis, in a visual form, on external pages and in the App.

If you want to display the data with results, in the admin panel scroll all the way down to the module, then copy the link and paste it into the browser. In the new browser window, a results table will appear with usernames, points scored, and the time the last code was scanned. Besides the number of collected points, the table also sorts participants by time, so even if several people get the highest score, the person who did it first will be at the top.

To download the full results table and check which QR codes were found by specific Participants of your event, go to the MANAGE → Treasure Hunt tab and download the csv file by clicking the cloud icon with an arrow.

Information available in the exported results file:

  • participant's first name

  • participant's last name

  • participant's email address

  • QR code name

  • internal QR code code

  • number of points

  • scan date and time

Have a great event with Meeting Application!
