GooseChase more than a scavenger hunt

The app is versatile. The employees are friendly and responsive. The company's new community forum, The Nest, is informative and empowering. I find this company quite valuable in my role as an educator of both elementary and secondary students, not to mention with my fellow educators.

PROS

I love the versatility of this app. Students/players have the ability to complete challenges with text, photo, video and/or gps input. These options encourage a variety of depth and breadth in regard to learning challenges.

CONS

In past years, students had to have a particular mission/challenge open. This prevented students from uploading photos/videos from their camera roll. That was a negative issue because many of my high school students have phones that only work on wifi. I shared my concern of this issue with the company. After a year, they provided the option in an update. I was thrilled.

An Absolute Gamechanger

LOVE it!! Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE the Goosechase support team. They are friendly, respond quickly, and really do care.

PROS

Goosechase has been an absolute game changer for us! We use it for literally everything, and it is so much fun. It has allowed us to provide our services to families in a fun, gamified manner; it makes analytics and communication easy, and the Goosechase team is absolutely AMAZING!

CONS

I wish we had better options for organizing our various hunts. It would also be nice to have an option for 2-way communication and even commenting within the game.

Reason for choosing Goosechase

Better in ALMOST every way.

Reasons for switching to Goosechase

The Goosechase option is so much easier for us to create our family experiences, and much more convenient for the families we serve to use it.

New pricing is terrible

Overall, I love it! I love the user-friendly platform and all the options!

PROS

I love the easiness of Goosechase! I have been using it for almost 10 years. My students love it and so do I.

CONS

I am very unhappy with the options for pricing. I was fortunate enough to have used it for a long time to receive a school k-12 discount. Now, the new pricing keeps me from being able to continue our partnership. We only use it maybe twice a year with all of our new students during orientation. However, with the new pricing, I have gone to another digital platform. I wish I could stay with Goosechase, but your prices are too high for us.

Reason for choosing Goosechase

I am not longer using Goosechase since you have changed your pricing.

Goosechase plants the seeds!

I use Goosechase in an educational setting, and it is a remarkable tool for allowing students and colleagues the opportunity to explore and begin to think about the concepts that we will cover more in depth after we’re done adventuring. Nobody wants to listen to a lecture, and everyone wants to run around and find things of interest. Within the design of the games that I have set up, people get the opportunity to have those “a-ha” moments that really springboard our learning io the big picture concepts that we need to cover for various courses and training purposes.

PROS

Everyone likes competition, and using Goosechase to enhance knowledge is extremely powerful and engaging simultaneously. There is instant motivation for participation, and the ability for me to manage so many people from my laptop is incredible. Messaging with fun or inspiring comments keeps everyone entertained yet accountable, and the discussion of the adventure after the challenge ends carries the team building and friendships into the classroom and keeps the energy and attitude positive and productive!

CONS

I would prefer to have a more intuitive team sign up format. With confusion on how to identify and share the code with other team members, it can get a bit confusing. Oftentimes one person in a team of five or six will be the only one submitting pictures and videos for the missions that they are taking on. I wouldlove to have ALL participants engaged in EACH of their phones. A better way to set up a team and share would allow for that!
