Player Response Challenges Are Back!

We had to take these offline temporarily after a change in Google’s data collection policies. They are now back!!

If you’ve never created a Player Response Challenge, consider taking some time to see how they work! In a Player Response Challenge, you can ask learners to answer an open-ended question, take a photo, complete an activity, etc. This is a great way to engage your players’ critical thinking skills and have them apply what they learned through a unique and creative response. If you want to see responses, they can be viewed in your Statistics page.

Setting up a Player Response Challenge is pretty easy and the Question section only requires you to select Text Response or Image Response, and then type your question.

Below are some great examples of Text-based Player Response questions, with some categories to help you start visualizing some ideas for your own Missions! The suggestions in the General category are especially useful to place at the end of Missions to collect feedback from players in the form of a mini-survey.

For photo-based Player Response ideas, consider some of the examples below:

1) Get your players to identify and capture the invasive species in your park!

2) Have your players create something using the natural resources in the area! There are a lot of great things you can do with snow in the winter.

3) If you have a bunch of interesting things you want your players to find, like flowers at a botanic garden for example, you can encourage them to find and take photos of them as part of a Photo Hunt.
