Player Response Challenges

Things are getting cooler in North America both outside and in the Mission Maker! While we continue to get the new version ready for you, we wanted to give you a quick refresher on Player Response Challenges!

Player Response challenges are open-ended questions that enable players to submit a unique answer through their own words or images.

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 a question, take a photo, complete an activity, etc. It’s 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, you can view them on your Statistics page (if you have a Gold or Silver package).

Setting up a Player Response Challenge is easy; the Question Section requires you to select “Text Response” or “Image Response”, and then type your question.

Below are some examples of Text-based Player Response challenges, with some categories to help you start visualizing ideas for your own Missions. The suggestions in the “General” category are useful to collect feedback from your players in the form of a mini-survey.

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

1) Identify and photograph the invasive species you see as you complete this Mission.

2) Have your guests create something and share a photo. For example, there are a lot of great things you can do with snow…

3) Encourage players to find natural objects, like flowers at a botanic garden,and ask them to take photos of them as part of a Photo Hunt.

Viewing Your Responses

Customers with Gold and Silver packages can view the unique responses that logged-in players have submitted by opening the Statistics page in your Mission Maker.

Scroll down to a section called Challenge Statistics. On the far right side of any Player Response Challenges, you will see a button that says “View Responses.”

You can click on this to see all the responses that players have submitted to a Photo or Text Response Challenge.

If certain answers aren’t showing up:

It might be that the player just decided not to share their answers – which is up to them! Players will receive a prompt at the beginning of the Mission asking if they would like to share their answers or not. Answers can also be deleted by going to the Settings menu of the app.

If a player is under 13 and their profile has not been verified by a parent, this will also prevent their answers from appearing.
