Challenge Template Library

If you've created Info Challenges in the past and made them available as templates, they will appear in the dropdown list so you can easily duplicate them. Simply select one and click [Apply]. Then the form will reload with the fields filled out according to the template.


General

  • Title: Enter a title.
  • Description: Enter a text description of the information you want to share with players.
  • (Optional) After Complete: If you'd like to display some text underneath the green Completed checkmark at the bottom of the challenge once the challenge is completed, type it into this box. Unlike the popups that appear after the challenge is completed, text typed in here will always be available for players to view. However, it is more subtle than the popups.
  • (Optional) Image URL: If you'd like to display an image, enter the URL of an image that is publicly hosted online, or upload your own!
  • (Optional) Width to Height Ratio: Enter the aspect ratio of the image. Aspect ratio = image width/image height. For example, a 1024x1024 size image would have an aspect ratio of 1, while a 1024x512 size image would have an aspect ratio of 2, etc.
  • (Optional) Completed Image URL: If you'd like to display an image for players to see after they complete the Challenge, enter the URL of an image that is publicly hosted online or upload your own!
  • (Optional) Audio URL: If you'd like to include a sound clip, enter the URL of a sound clip that is publicly hosted online or upload your own!
  • (Optional) Video URL: If you'd like to include a video, enter the URL of a video that is publicly hosted online or upload your own!
  • (Optional) YouTube Video ID: If you'd like to include a YouTube video, enter in its ID. You can get the ID from the video's page by clicking on [Share] -- the ID is everything after the last "/" in the link. For example, for this video: https://youtu.be/fSsP63gBQnI the ID is fSsP63gBQnI.
  • (Optional) Not Completable: If checked, this challenge cannot be completed and it will not move to the completed challenges list.
  • Points: Enter the number of points the challenge is worth.


Availability

  • Use event start and end dates: By default, the box will be checked. If you would like for this specific challenge not to appear until a certain date and time or to disappear by a certain date and time, you may set a start and end time that's different from the event.
  • (Optional) Set Password for Challenge: By default, the box will NOT be checked. If you would like for players to only be able to access this Challenge by entering in a password, check this box.
    • If you do check this box, a new field will appear where you can type in your desired password.

Random Pool

  • (Optional) Pool name: If you want to create a random pool of challenges, of which only 1 is shown to the player, enter in a name for this pool in the textbox.
    • If you want to add another challenge to the same pool as this one, make sure to type in EXACTLY the same Pool name. Take care not to add any extra spaces or punctuation, otherwise our system will likely read it as a separate challenge pool.
    • You can have multiple challenge pools! We recommend making the pool names descriptive, i.e. "colors," "shapes," "numbers," instead of "pool1," "pool2," "pool3," so that there is less risk of typing in the wrong Pool name.

Places

  • (Optional) Show on the Places map: If you want this challenge to be shown in the [Challenges] --> [Places] tab, check the box.
    • If you have the exact coordinates, you can enter them in the latitude and longitude fields. Otherwise you may drag the blue pin on the map to set the location. If you need help getting coordinates check out the bottom of this article: [GPS] How to Create GPS Challenges.

Messages

  • (Optional) Success Message: By default, the message a player will see in a popup upon completing the challenge is set to "Thanks for reading!" Feel free to change this message if you would like.
  • (Optional) Error Message: By default, the message a player will see in a popup if there is an error when completing the challenge is set to "Please try again!" Feel free to change this message if you would like.


Challenge Library

  • (Optional) Make available in the template library: If you would like this challenge to be available in your private library as a template, check this box.

Saving

  • (Optional) Save as a draft: If you only want the Challenge to be visible to admins, check this box.

Click the [SAVE CHANGES] button every once in a while after making changes.

  • The details will now update in the Challenges Tab in the event.
