How to use Goosechase:

Join a Game
Once you login to the Goosechase app on your device, the first thing to do is join a game, the Pelham Family Day Adventure will go live on the app on Friday February 18 at 8:00am. The game code is VWVRJE. You will search for the name of the game and proceed to enter the specific game code within the app. You will need to register an account on goose chase if you wish to exit and come back to the game, playing as a guest will not save your submissions. 

Complete Missions
To complete a mission, select it from the list and follow the instructions to receive the allotted points. Sometimes you’ll be submitting a photo or video, while other times, you will be solving a puzzle or riddle. Remember that while you receive the points right away, all submissions are subject to review by the organizer.

Leaderboard - Track Opponents
The ability to see everything as it happens is one of the best parts of GooseChase. That’s because whenever someone completes a mission, it’s added to the activity feed, and the rankings are automatically updated.

Don't quit if you're behind! 
Make sure to finish all the missions in the game even if you're behind on the leaderboard. Organizers still need to announce the final scores after they review the submissions!
