What is Goosechase?
Goosechase is an app that is the easiest way to organize and run a scavenger hunt. SheJumps has teamed up with Goosechase to bring virtual events to our community at a time where gathering in large numbers isn’t possible. Goosechase app displays missions and types to engage participants through video and photo uploads, text responses, and GPS checkpoints.
What is a mission?
Missions have a name, description, point value, and an optional link or photo to provide extra information. For text & GPS missions, the answer and target destination must also be provided.
Can I play the game in teams?
No. While some Goosechase games are set up for teams, our game is set up for individual players.
How do you win prizes?
We have different prizes for different categories. You can win prizes by registering for the event or by accomplishing missions in the app. Sometimes it will ask you to share a photo and other times it’s a video of you completing a mission. On social media, you have to just follow @shejumps and you also might win a prize.
What are the prizes?
You can view the full list of prizes on our terms and conditions sheet. We have a number of skis, snowshoes, sunglasses, goggles, clothing, and tents from various partners. Check out our Instagram page the week before the event and we’ll be sharing previews there, too.
Are there bonus points?
Yes, you can gain bonus points for going above and beyond with your submissions. Sometimes that means adding extra vibrancy to an answer, wearing ridiculous costumes, or featuring a partner item. For each mission where there are bonus points, we’ll try to provide some guidance on what will take you the extra mile.
What kind of missions are there?
Here are the categories: Act It Out!, Show & Tell, Self Care, Safety and Preparedness…and many more! We’ll be giving clues about the missions and some sneak peeks on social media leading up to the event!
What materials do I need for this?
You really only need your phone and to be outside, but ‘being outside’ might mean different things for different people. We always recommend that you have your 10 Essentials with you for safety, especially if you are going to be out on the trail. A couple of ‘creative’ missions might require a pen, paper, or colouring utensils. Also, costumes are encouraged!
Do I have to go skiing to participate?
No! Anyone, anywhere can do these missions although if it’s available to you, going skiing is a fun way to participate as well (and do the missions on the mountain).
Can I participate if I’m injured?
You can do some of the missions that are more creative, but stick with doctor’s orders. There are plenty of missions to complete while just sitting on a park bench.
