“Electronic devices have the majority of our children and adults engagement, so by using an app on their phones for the scavenger hunt was so much fun and so much easier to plan.“

“The hard thing about school is that we are at an area that doesn't have a lot of cell service so we have to use our iPads and we are limited there with the number of devices.“

“Mission design is a bit clunky and there are some seemingly obvious features that are missing. When there are more than just a few missions, reorganizing them via drag-and-drop is a pain. If there's a way to copy or template missions, I'm not sure what it is.“

“It still feels clunky to use on a chromebook-- it's difficult if students don't follow instructions EXACTLY when running on a chromebook that the program simply doesn't work.“

### "Goosechase EDU for Educators"

August 31, 2022

5.0

I have successfully used GoosechaseEDU over the past few years with all of my student cohorts. It is wonderful for summaries of learning, campus orientation, end-of-year get-togethers, and more. Unfortunately, I am now downgrading as a result of the price rise.

Pros

Goosechase activities are always a big success. They can be educational or social, and they always are appreciated by students. The variety of options makes it suitable for all educational frameworks.

Cons

Recently the price for educators doubled, making the program no longer a viable option for educators.

### "Goosechase has been key for online engagements"

October 9, 2023

4.0

Pros

Goosechase is very easy for both administrators to manage as well as the general public. With more than 1,400 people signing up for our yearling challenge, we have had minimal issues with people not being able to figure out how to use it.

Cons

It would be great if there was a zoom capability for photo missions. That has been just about our only repeated complaint from the public. It also would be nice if in text based missions, there was an option for people to only put in an answer once and if it’s wrong, they don’t get the points and they cannot complete it again. We are finding that people just keep guessing until they get the correct multiple choice answer.

Reason for choosing Goosechase

We chose Goosechase due to its ease of use, variety in types of missions we could do as well as price point.

### "Fabulous product, I wish there was a single use price option"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

I used this app to manage and engage high school students on a field trip. It was phenomenal. It allowed us to easily keep tabs on all of our students and keep them engaged in educational tasks during the trip, and they had a fantastic time doing so. They got to have fun, be goofy, stay competitive, and actively enjoy the location we visited. I would highly recommend Goosechase for anyone who wants to engage and entertain a group.

Cons

The price. I only wanted to use Goosechase for this one single trip and there were no options other than the annual subscription. I really liked the product and splurged on the app, but I don't know if I'll be able to afford to do so again, and that makes me sad.

Reason for choosing Goosechase

I loved the mission formats. Photos and videos let us keep track of students, were fun and easy to submit, and were easy to create without actually being at the location to check GPS coordinates.

### "Goosechase in the classroom"

August 14, 2023

5.0

I do love it, it is very easy to use.

Pros

I use Goosechase to teach my pre-service teacher students about ways to use mobile technologies in their future classrooms. The ideas that they come up with, the lesson plans, are amazing. I think having students use mobile tools engages and gets them excited about the topic used in the scavenger hunt.

Cons

Cost, I wish I didn't have to pay for it. I used to be able to use it free of charge for my teaching needs, but now I need to spend over $100/year.

### "Goosechase "

October 9, 2023

4.0

Goosechase has been a great tool to use with co-workers and students alike. We have received great feedback from participants.

Pros

Goosechase is very easy to use. It is a great tool to highlight and encourage your co-workers to explore a new place. Perfect for conferences and team building. Also great tool for teachers to have students learn about a topic asynchronously in a fun interactive.

Cons

The hardest part in using this tool is coming up with missions for participants to do. There are many missions already created which you can modify to fit your needs.

### "Easy to use for both the admin and user"

August 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

Fun and easy to use - You can create a variety of missions of your own or take some of the suggestions. Good for virtual scavenger hunts or real life location based hunts.

Cons

Setting up the automated missions can be a little confusing at first but are easier to do once you get the hang of it.

### "Creative Learning Tool "

August 17, 2023

5.0

I've loved using it as a way to model teaching creatively. All of my students are future teachers.

Pros

I've used Goosechase Experiences to build engagement with lessons at the college level. My favorite way to use it is when I introduce a new concept or new resources. We've made a Goosechase Experience a permanent part of our School of Education Orientation process. It's a great way to get folks interacting in a low-key environment. It is fairly simple to navigate and I was able to set up my first experience without watching any tutorials or needing support.

Cons

My only complaint is the change in pricing from when I started using the platform two years ago. I had planned to make a couple of hunts with unlimited participation of the entire college, but the new pricing made that impossible.

### "Absolute engagement "

August 14, 2023

5.0

It’s literally my favorite software based activity.

Pros

This activity is so unlike anything else. I have never not had 100 percent engagement in any goosechase I have facilitated. From small children up to adult admins.

Cons

No one in my district except me has the opportunity to use it enough to justify a higher tier membership. So when I model it for teachers they are always frustrated by the limits of the free plan, but a school wide plan wouldn’t get used enough to justify the cost.

### "Goosechase in an Adult Learning Program"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Goosechase offers a fun and engaging way to recap/review topics learned in class in our adult learning program! Our teachers are trained on goosechase to become equipped with the tools needed to create their own activities to engage our students. Our program is technology based so we re always on the lookout for ways to gamify our instruction.

Pros

Goosechase is such an easy application to use. The interface is simple enough to follow for individuals who are not familiar with technology, like some of our veteran teachers. They get to design and create their own activities with ease.

Cons

The set up interface can be less wordy and made larger. An option to share indefinitely would be a great addition as well.

### "Creative way to engage employees "

October 3, 2023

5.0

We use Goosechase mainly for our employee events. We celebrate Employee Appreciation Week each year in March and engage our employees in a scavenger hunt through Goosechase for a variety of different activities. We pull raffle prize winners from those that participate!

Pros

We love to gather pictures of our employees engaging in all the fun activities through the different scavenger hunts we create and share them on our intranet page or in email articles. It is fun to see all the different interactions and to see our employees smiling. This is such an easy and fun way to capture these fun memories and moments.

Cons

I have not found anything I would say I like "least" about Goosechase. I think overall the program has a lot of different use cases and I enjoy reading how others have used this program at their organizations through the Goosechase library.

### "Educator Engagement"

August 25, 2023

4.0

I have overall enjoyed Goosechase. I wish thr educator price point was still available, but I liked it enough to renew my subscription.

Pros

I love the premise of this game. It is easy to set up and so customizable to each group. It helped me create engaging staff morale building activities. Even.when I repeated a game, it was still engaging enough to keep interest.

Cons

I wish there was a way for the person running them game to be able to use the app a little more. Having to rely on my computer to give points and see submissions is difficult. The dashboard is great, just need app update.

### "Team building with Goosechase"

August 22, 2023

5.0

I am really enjoying the experience of Goosechase for TeamBuilding and completing otherwise mundane tasks that are often asked of our staff.

Pros

I love the pre-existing choices of missions but also love the ability to customize and create our own missions.

Cons

Although I love the ability for missions to be released on a time schedule, I do find this feature difficult to set up. However, the "Help/Support" feature was immediate and excellent to help me succeed.

### "A life saver in the classroom "

August 16, 2023

5.0

I cannot imagine doing my job without this tool. My students love Goose Chase!

Pros

As a high school Campus Minister, I lead retreats for students and staff which require me to engage 40-150 people at the same time! Goose Chase is an easy way for me to create interactive lessons that teach themselves so that I can attend to another group or task.

Cons

I find the library to be too small which means I always have to create my own missions. I wish there was a way to access other Chases so to share ideas.

### "A Great Way to Engage Students and Teachers"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Overall, I've been very satisfied with setting up games and missions. The users are always happy and I love watching the video submissions after.

Pros

Goosechase is so easy to use, and all users find it really engaging. I've used it on my campus for both teacher and student trainings, and both groups were laughing and having a good time while reviewing important information.

Cons

I wish that the free version allowed for more players within a game. Most classes, even when broken into groups, have more than 5 users needed. I also wish you could sign up without the auto-renew option. It causes a headache for many bookkeepers and can prevent the campus/district from paying for it.

### "Love it!"

August 14, 2023

5.0

Love Goosechase use it with my students all the time.

Pros

Goosechase is so easy to use and a great way to add competition into anything you do.

Cons

It does take time to set up a Goosechase but that should be expected and I'm not sure you can simplify that process any more. Just be prepared to spend time up front but it is well worth it.

### "Goosechase is great for Teambuilding"

August 14, 2023

5.0

We've used Goosechase at staff retreats for teambuilding. More often we use it with our students

Pros

I like how simple, user friendly, and customizable it is. There are all sorts of missions to choose from, and it's very simple to create your own missions. I like the the missions are fun and incorporate video and pictures.

Cons

I did not dislike anything about this product. It works perfectly as we use it.

Reason for choosing Goosechase

I'm not familiar with alternative products. I found Goosechase and stuck with it.

### "Love Goosechase"

September 4, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love how Goosechase allows my students to get up and move around and continue learning while having fun!

Cons

I don't like how the top leader in the game stays the leader as long as they get every mission completed first. There's seems to be no way for other players to advance ahead of them. I feel like that would add an extra level of fun. In a real-life scavenger hunt you don't know who the winners is until the end of the scavenger hunt but with Goosechase some of my students lose momentum because they feel like they can't get ahead.

Pros

Super easy to use and very quick to deploy. Easy to duplicate from the bank and/or within your own database. Great for kids or adults.

### "Goosechase Wins!"

August 17, 2023

5.0

Our school loves using Goosechase with our students and staff. We do teambuilding, content reinforcement, and improve overall engagement.

Pros

Goosechase provides a platform to engage students and teachers in their learning. The features that are most impressive include the availability of some pre-made missions and scavenger hunts for education. The fact that we can edit and personalize each hunt is perfect for the school setting. We also appreciate the share ability so teaching partners can collaborate.

Cons

We would love to see more mission options. We have used many that are already there, but always looking for new ideas.

### "Works great for educational team-building and onboarding!"

August 8, 2023

5.0

Goosechase is being used by our staff with students to enhance learning experiences and team build.

Pros

Each year we use Goosechase to divide our faculty into teams that explore different aspects each year of our schools and community. Goosechase allows us to develop quality activities for multiple teams where we can monitor and see how they are completing the tasks and learning more about our schools and community as we start the school year. Goosechase allows us to monitor and see in live feed how the activities are being completed.

Cons

Have not found a component that doesn't work well for us!

Reason for choosing Goosechase

### "Grateful for Goosechase "

August 17, 2023

5.0

Pros

Goosechase is pretty easy to set up and to run in a classroom. Students love the use of the product and are always excited when we get to play a goosechase. They really think the scoreboard is fun. They love getting to submit missions and redo them, if needed.

Cons

It still feels clunky to use on a chromebook-- it's difficult if students don't follow instructions EXACTLY when running on a chromebook that the program simply doesn't work.
