These activity-based games are great because attendees earn points for completing challenges or participating in activities. Depending on the game vendor, the activities could be event app activities such as looking at the agenda or posting a comment.
Another option is content-based activities that align with the event content. One advantage of this game format is that you can use the technology to construct a series of challenges that can be completed in-app, on the trade show floor or in another location. Depending on the game platform, there may be multiple reward and recognition systems — such as earning prize wheel spins, a spot on the leaderboard, entries into a drawing and more.
Usually, players receive a card or booklet — like a passport. Exhibitors stamp the passports of each player who visits. Players who stop at all of the booths earn an entry into a grand prize drawing. Digital versions of the game allow gameplay on your phone. Completing challenges could involve getting a code from a booth staffer, watching a demo, stumping the expert or answering the question of the day.
Scavenger hunts are typically photo-based gamification used for team building and collaboration. Small groups are organized into teams and sent on an adventure to find a bunch of artifacts or complete a series of challenges. The goal is to get small groups talking and working together.
The digital version of these games allows clients to replay the highlights from the event by showing the photos captured on a photo wall at the end of the event. Spin-to-win energizes your prize draw or drawing a name from a hat. Instead of pulling a name blindly, the spin-to-win animation adds excitement and hope to the game. When clients have 5 to 12 prizes to giveaway — clients will use spin-to-win to pick the prize.
The wheel adds an element of excitement to the giveaway process. Players see all of the prizes going past. Put the attendees or the qualified attendees on the name wheel.
Then spin the wheel to see whose name will be selected. Attendees love watching the names slow down, hoping the wheel stops on their name. Tape a few Golden Tickets under the seats in your general session. Then, ask people to check to see if they are sitting in the location of a golden ticket. Bring the ticket holders on stage to spin the virtual prize wheel to see what prize they have won.
Some clients will allow people to spin the wheel a second time to see if they can win a better reward. Beware — the second spin could give them a less desirable prize than the first spin!
