How do I pre-create a team or profile for my participants?

Updated this week

The creator of the Experience can enable the ability to allow participants to create their own teams and profiles, or they can choose to create the teams themselves in advance from the Goosechase Studio.

How do I turn off the ability for participants to create their own teams?

By default, participants will be prompted to create their own team or profile when joining the Experience.

You can turn off the ability for participants to create their own teams by selecting the "I'll do it manually" option for organizing your participants from the "Participants" tab in the "Publish" section of the Goosechase Studio.

Helpful Honk: You will not be able to edit profiles created by the participants in the app, and participants will not be able to edit profiles created by you (the creator).

5. Add a team or profile photo

FAQ


How do I share the pre-created team or profile with participants

When you send the participants the join link, join code, or QR code, make sure to let them know which team to join and their team password (if applicable). If pre-creating the teams or profiles, we recommend creating easily customizable or individualized invitations for each player/team.


Why might I need to add a team or profile passcode?

Team or profile passcodes are a good way to ensure participants join the correct team or profile. If no passcode is set, the team or profile will be open to anyone with the join link, join code, or QR code to join. By creating a passcode, you can provide the team or participant with their unique passcode to make sure only they can join the team or profile they have been assigned.


Can participants create their own teams or profiles?
