How to personalise events with keywords!

Updated on February 25, 2025

Our keyword feature is the ultimate storytelling booster for your events. It takes interaction and communication with your teams to a whole new level!

With targeted keywords, you can address teams directly in game information and tasks – in a personal and motivating way.

This is how it works: You place special keywords in your Tabspot and event texts, which are automatically replaced in the app with individual data such as team names, points scored or task status.

Calculations can also be performed to dynamically adapt content to the score or solution status. This allows the game to react even more precisely to your team’s actions.

Example 1 #

Example 1 shows the possibility of personalising your digital scavenger hunt event by constantly displaying the individual team name.

“Hello team [show_teamname], welcome to event XY!”

“Great team [show_teamname], you solved the task correctly!”

“Keep it up [show_teamname], you’re on the right way!”

Example 2 #

Example 2 shows how you can motivate players/teams through constant feedback.

“Great team [show_teamname], you have currently scored [show_scored_points]! Keep up the good work!”

“Dear team [show_teamname], half the playing time is over. You have now played [show_played_tasks] tasks. There are still [show_open_tasks] tasks waiting for you. So get to work!”

“Hey, well played so far! You’ve solved all of the [show_played_tasks] tasks correctly and answered [show_failed_tasks] tasks incorrectly.”

Example 3 #

Even the content of your texts can be replaced by individual values. Take a look at the following sentences!

“Hey, half the game is over! [show_solved_tasks MAX:8 CONTENT: The overall result can still be improved. Give it another go at the last stations!][show_solved_tasks MIN:9 MAX:12 CONTENT:Not a bad result overall, but of course there’s still room for improvement! Let’s go!][show_solved_tasks MIN:13 CONTENT:The result is more than impressive. Keep it up on the last stages of this challenge!]

An overview of the keywords #

There is a whole range of exciting keywords that you can use in our serious games scavenger hunt software. Please note that some of them do not yet work in the web app. You should always test well in any case!

[show_teamname] – shows the team name of a team/player!

[show_username] – shows specifically only the username of a player account!

[show_played_tasks] – shows the number of tabspots played!

[show_solved_tasks] – shows the number of correctly solved tabspots!

[show_failed_tasks] – shows the number of incorrectly solved tabspots!

[show_open_tasks] – shows the number of open tabspots in the event!

[show_scored_points] – shows the number of points scored!

[show_open_points] – shows the number of points still to be scored!
