This article will walk you through the basics of team management within the Goosechase Studio.
How does Teams mode work?
In team mode, participants join the same team from their own devices.
Once a participant from a team completes a Mission, that Mission shows as completed for the whole team. A Mission can only be completed once for the team.
Points will be tallied for the team as whole, and displayed with the team name and team photo on the Leaderboard. To see which member of the team made the submission, navigate to the Submissions table on the Stats page.
How do I set up teams for my Experience?
Full details on creating teams in your Experience can be found here.
How many teams can I have?
The total number of teams is dependent on the type of plan or upgrade you have. You can view what plans and upgrades we offer and their limits our website. If you are unsure of the limits on your account, please contact our support team.
Free plan: 3 total participants (devices)
You can have 3 total participants across any combination of team or individual participants
Educational plans
Free EDU Basic: 5 teams total
5 teams of 5 participants
EDU Plus: 40 total participants
EDU Plus plan is designed to accommodate 10 teams, each with 4 devices. To provide our educators with even more flexibility though, we allow any combination of individuals and team size that add up to a total of 40 mobile devices.
How many devices can join a team?
The number of devices is determined by the number of participants you can have based on your plan or upgrade.
1 participants = 1 device.
Can team members message each other?
Participants cannot message each other within the app. We recommend having participants communicate outside of the app using messaging apps if needed.
Can I message my participants?
Yes! You can message participants via the Broadcasts tab (under the create section), Full instructions available here.
Can I remove an individual participant from a team?
Yes! You can remove an individual participant from a team directly in Goosechase Studio without deleting the entire team. Note that removing a participant permanently deletes all of their submissions and points from the team and cannot be undone. Full instruction available here.
Can I collect participant contact details?
Prior to your Experience starting, you can contact our support team (with your Experience name) to enable the email collection feature for your Experience. You can find the collected emails and more in the participants table on the stats page.
At this time, we do not collect contact information outside of email addresses. If you were looking to collect these details, we recommend creating a Text Mission asking participants for their name or contact information.
