Your game portal is set up! First, if possible, review your Game Setup and steps in this document in a completely separate browser from where you are working in the Conference App Builder. If this is not possible, please be sure you are completely logged out of the Conference App Builder before moving forward with the next set of instructions.

Helpful Tips

• In the Conference App Builder 

  • Go to the Support Tab

  • Scroll down to Gamification 

  • Review the Overview PDF file

• We recommend setting up a monitor/screen by the reg desk or another high visibility area and display the public leaderboard to encourage attendee participation

• Toggle on the game when you are ready to start playing. Note: Points cannot be removed from the game (once someone scans a QR code, they will remain with points in the game)

• Stagger when you make QR Codes available so that users are not able to scan all at one time
