The guest option allows users to play without the need to create a Goosechase account. When participants select this option, they will be taken directly to the Join an Experience window and prompted to find it by name or join code. This is the fastest way for participants to join and get started.
When a participant chooses the Continue as Guest option, their activity is only saved to their mobile device, and will not be saved to an online account. This activity will be deleted if they reset the app from the settings menu.
How does a participant re-join a profile/team in an Experience?
How does a participant re-join a profile/team in an Experience?
If for any reason a participant needs to re-join an Experience they had been participating in, such as if they accidentally delete the Goosechase app from their mobile device, or need to switch to another device (as a guest), they can do so by re-joining the Experience and selecting the same team/participant profile they were using.
If the participant profile is secured with a passcode, they might need to ask for the passcode from the creator or another participant on that team. Creators can find this information from the Participants Tab in the Studio, and team members can find it on the team settings page.
Can I convert a guest account to a Goosechase account?
Can I convert a guest account to a Goosechase account?
A participant who utilized the Continue as guest option has the option of later creating a new account, saving all of the activity from their guest account. This is useful if a participant changes their mind and later decides they want to have their progress saved online, or if they decide they want to log in from another mobile device without having to contact the creator for their team/participants profile's passcode.
This can be done by selecting the option in the app's settings menu on the home page. Towards the bottom of the settings screen, they will see an option to create an account and all of their previous content and in-progress submissions will transfer over.
