Step-by-Step Scavenger Hunt Setup

Whether you're building a scavenger hunt, tour, or reward-based experience in your Grandstand app, we've outlined the key decision points in two handy flowcharts. This guide walks you through the logic behind setting up your experience and the specific setup required for each stop.

Overall Experience Setup

Start by asking:

Will you have a reward?

• No: Go directly to What type of validation will you have?
• Yes: Ask Will you have them fill out a form to collect contact info?

  • Yes: Set up a survey/form with questions for collecting info, then move to What type of validation will you have?
  • No: Set up a reward item, then move to What type of validation will you have?

What type of validation will you have?

• Question/Answer/Code Entry
• QR Code
• Location Check-In
• Take a Photo

Would you like to show a map?

• No: Move on to Set Up Each Stop
• Yes: Select the map to show, then move on to Set Up Each Stop

Flowchart Overview

This flowchart summarizes your top-level decisions:

Decisions for Each Stop

Once you've outlined the overall experience, you'll set up each stop with the following fields:

Information to Collect:

• Stop Name
• Text for Stop (e.g. clue or description)
• Validation Format (Code, QR, Location Check-in, or Photo)

If using Question/Answer validation:

• Question for participant (this prompts the user)
• Validation Code/Answer that the system checks against

If using Location Check-In:

• Map Location for the stop (coordinates or pin)

• Optional: Upload a photo for the stop (named the same as the stop)
• Completion Message (e.g. “You completed this stop! Move on to the next one.”)

Final Tips

• Use short, action-oriented language for clues and completion messages.
• Test each validation method during setup to ensure it behaves as expected.
• Label files clearly when uploading multiple stop photos.
