Why is choosing the order of my Missions important?
Choosing how your participants see the Missions in the app can have a big impact on your Experience style! The Mission order is a way to guide your participants to complete your Missions in a way that will help them get the most out of your Experience.
How Do I re-order my Missions?
1. Navigate to the Missions tab under the Create section
2. Your Missions can be reordered using the 'Mission order for Participants' box on the right-hand side of the Missions tab.
3. Choose how you would like to order your Missions from one of the 4 options
Point value, Alphabetical, Random, Custom (drag/drop)
Expand the 4 options below to learn more about which option is best for your Experience!
Point Value
Point Value
Missions will be displayed in order of point value from lowest to highest (ex. 100, 200, 300, etc.). You may choose to order your Missions this way if you want your participants to be strategic with which Missions they choose to complete in the allotted time.
Use Case: Assign more points to Missions that are more difficult to complete, and lower amounts to easier Missions to complete.
Participants will have to decide to risk time for the big points or focus on completing easier but lower point Missions and hope they can do enough to take home the prize.
Having the Missions sorted by point value allows your participants to be strategic in their choices.
Alphabetical
Alphabetical
Missions will be displayed in alphabetical order from A-Z. This is a good option if you are naming your Missions similarly and want them to appear in order of each other in the list.
Use Case: Your Goosechase involves participants running around the museum. Categorize Missions by adding the location to the Mission name - for example,
Dinosaur Room Mission 1
Dinosaur Room Mission 2
Egyptian Room Mission 1
Egyptian Room Mission 2
Exhibition Room Mission 1
Etc.
Once alphabetized, the Missions named similarly will be organized together and help route your experience.
Random
Random
Missions will be displayed in a different order for each participant.
If playing in teams, Missions will appear in a different order for each team, but the same order for each participant within a team. This is a great option if you are looking to have your participants spread out across a variety of locations and the Mission order does not affect your Experience.
Use Case: You have organized a Experience that had 10 different stations, and each station has a Mission.
Participants need to complete each Mission, however, the order in which they complete the Missions does not matter.
By ordering your Missions randomly, teams will likely to spread out more as they each have a different order and will not all group at the first station.
Custom (Drag/Drop)
Custom (Drag/Drop)
Missions will be displayed in an order of your choosing! You can decide the exact order of how you would like the Missions to appear to participants within the app.
Use Case: You are creating a walking tour of town and want participants to complete the Missions in the same order of what they will see on the tour.
By customizing the order of your Missions, you can instruct your participants to complete the list of Missions top to bottom so that they coordinate with the guided tour.
To set your custom order, hover your mouse over a Mission you'd like to reorder to reveal the drag icon, as shown below (8 dots on the left-hand side of the Mission):
Click and hold the dots to drag and drop each Mission into your preferred order. You may choose this option if you were looking to have participants complete your Missions in a specific order.
