Custom Pages #
In the event settings, you will find the option “Custom pages” under “Content”.
You can integrate up to three additional individual pages with your own content in our apps. As soon as you create a page, it will be integrated into the app menu with your content.
The use cases are very different (e.g. additional information about the game, station information, emergency information, digital backpack, item list, external content via iFrame such as 3D models, etc.).
Map design #
If you don’t like the standard Google map design, you can also choose a different Google map design. We have prepared a few templates for you.
If you would like to create your own templates and add them to your event, you must first create them. See “Administration” at the top left of the backend, then the “Events” column with the “Map design” option. Follow the instructions there in the menu.
Indoor Maps #
Next to an individual Google map design you can also create completely individual maps using image overlays. These overlays are images that you place directly on the Google map.
This allows you to enrich your map with additional information such as drawn boundaries or directions. Whether you create a fantasy map or a detailed building plan with several levels for indoor events – the possibilities are almost endless!
To define an indoor map in the event settings, you must first create one via “Administration” at the top left, the “Events” column and “Custom maps”.
Cooperative mode #
The cooperative mode replaces the conventional competitive high score in the app with a cooperative joint score (achieved by all teams)!
By setting a target value, a pie chart can be displayed which shows the progress of all teams together against the target value.
Individual countdown #
As you know, you have to set a start and end time for your event. With the “Individual countdown” you can determine the exact playing time within your set event time for each team. This is useful if teams start at different times or the exact start time is not the same for everyone.
This function is particularly useful for long events, open applications or escape games, as you can assign a fixed playing time, e.g. 90 minutes, to each team.
In addition, the individual countdown offers advantages when using global groups in our storytelling tool, as it makes it much easier to control time triggers.
A highlight: You can only start the countdown after a certain number of tasks have been played. This allows you to integrate onboarding tasks into your game, for example, without them already being part of the actual playing time.
Show Google map #
This feature allows you to hide the Google map in the app. This is particularly useful if you only want to use your own indoor maps.
Please note: This option does not affect the visibility of the map menu in the app in general, only the display of the Google map in the menu itself.
