Scavenger Hunts to Boost Engagement

If you’re organizing an event with multiple vendors and want to increase booth traffic and engagement, a scavenger hunt might be just what you need. Grandstand Apps offers a built-in scavenger hunt module that can transform a typical vendor showcase into an interactive, memorable experience. Here’s how it works and why it’s a fantastic way to drive attendees to your vendors’ booths.

How the Scavenger Hunt Works

Using Grandstand’s scavenger hunt module, you can design a game that directs event attendees to visit various booths.

1. Multiple Booths as Stops: Each vendor booth becomes a “stop” on the scavenger hunt. Attendees are required to visit a certain number of stops to progress in the game.
2. Code Entry for Verification: To prove they’ve visited the booth, attendees must enter a code provided by the vendor. This makes sure they’ve physically engaged with each booth instead of just browsing the app.
3. Completion for a Reward: Once attendees complete a certain number of stops, they can unlock a reward. The prize could be anything from exclusive swag to discounts or VIP access. This incentive encourages participants to visit more booths and interact with more vendors.
4. Collecting Attendee Information: The scavenger hunt module also allows for collecting valuable attendee information. You can include a form where participants provide their email addresses when they redeem their prize. This is a win-win, as attendees get rewarded, and vendors or sponsors can build their marketing lists.
