Helpful Honk: If you are having participants take a picture of a secret location or an answer to a clue; we recommend setting the submission visibility to hidden in feed so other participants canโ€™t see their submission.

7. Accepted submissions will allow you to set what kind of submissions this Mission will be limited to.

You have the option to set the Missions to only accept: only Photos, only videos or a combination of photos and videos.

8. Submission sources will allow you to set if participants can upload photos from their device's camera roll, or if they are restricted to taking the photo in that moment. This applies to videos as well.

Live capture and library means participants can upload media taken outside of the Goosechase app.
โ€‹
Live capture only means that the participants must capture the media in that moment within the Goosechase app.

FAQ


When should I use a camera Mission?

Adding a Camera Mission is a great way to allow participants to show off their creativity, and share the fun they are having with everyone involved through the activity feed.

Here are a few creative ways that we have seen photo/video Missions used:

  • Take a photo of your completed onboarding paperwork

  • Recreate your company logo with items found around the home

  • Reconnect with colleagues or friends by taking a photo while eating lunch together!

  • Facilitate introductions of a new team member by having them film a short 30-second video introducing themselves.


When should I set the accepted submissions to live capture only?

Live capture only is helpful to ensure participants are taking the picture or video in the moment and are not sharing submissions with other participants.


Can I change the Mission type after I have created the Mission?

Yes, you can change the Mission type at any time. You may need to update some settings or answers depending on the Mission type that you choose.


Can I download all of the submissions for camera Missions?

Yes, all Missions can be downloaded from the Submissions tab. Select Review in the top navigation bar and click on Submissions on the left-hand navigation. You will see a download button in the upper right-hand corner.


How many points should my Mission be worth?

This is not easy to answer, as there is no "set" amount of points a Mission should be. We recommend the point value matching the effort of the Missions. If the Mission is hard to complete or will take a long time to complete, then it should be worth more points. If a Mission is easy to complete, or will take little time, then the Mission should be worth less points.
