Create Missions using the Ai Mission generator, import Missions from our Template Library, or create your own from scratch!
All Missions can be created from the Missions tab within the Experience under the Create section:
Each of the 3 Mission types will have unique fields to fill out when creating the Mission. For more detailed instructions, click the heading links associated with the Mission type below.
Participants need to find a specific object or place, or perform a physical or creative task and take a photo or video of it.
Participants need to enter a text or number-based response to a question you've asked.
Text Missions can be open-ended or have specific answers.
Participants need to physically get to a specified location, communicated through the Mission description or based on a given clue, in order to submit their coordinates.
The basics that every Mission needs
A Name
Choose a creative or descriptive name for your Mission. It should give participants a hint about what they’ll be doing. A good name grabs attention and sets the tone for the activity.
You can also use the name to categorize groups of Missions or re-occuring Missions, like: "Dinosaur Exhibit: Find the Fossils" or "Day 4: Group picture".
Number of Points
Assign points based on the difficulty or effort required. In theory, harder Missions should earn more points, while simpler ones earn fewer - but it is totally up to you!
Varied points help motivate participants and rewards creativity and effort appropriately.
Description
The description is where you explain exactly what you want participants to do. Include any rules, tips, or extra information they might need to complete the Mission successfully.
Clear instructions prevent confusion and help participants focus on being creative and having fun.
Ways to Release and Expire Missions
Once your Mission is ready, you can decide the best time to release it to your participants. Goosechase lets you easily control when and how each Mission appears in your Experience.
Publish Immediately: This is the default setting for all Missions. You can release your Mission as soon as your Experience starts. Participants will see it right away in the app.
Schedule for Later: Set a specific time for the Mission to appear. This is great for pacing your Experience or creating anticipation throughout the event.
Use Unlockable Missions: Keep some Missions hidden at first and reveal them only after participants complete certain tasks. This adds excitement and rewards progress.
Schedule to Expire: You can also set a Mission to automatically close at a certain time. This ensures participants only have a set window to complete it; perfect for timed challenges or multi-day Experiences.
💡 Helpful Honk: Staggering Missions, using unlockables, and setting expiration times keeps participants engaged and your Experience flowing smoothly. It also helps spread out points, so players progress at different rates and the leaderboard stays exciting for everyone.
Once you've created your Mission list, you can manage your teams & participants!
