SCANVenger Hunt: Gamification That Encourages Face-to-Face Interaction and Active Learning

The Mission: Get members of the Denver Chapter of the National Association of Catering Executives (NACE Denver) networking, while showing off the LoDo neighborhood of Downtown Denver. Oh, and make it fun.

NACE Denver tasked the Arrangers, a Destination Management Company headquartered in Denver, to carry out this mission. Danny Findley, sales manager at Arrangers, said, “The chapter wanted to do a team building event and thought maybe a scavenger hunt.”

The Arrangers decided to turn that idea up a notch with a modern approach. They partnered with SCANVenger Hunt, a company that provides a mobile interactive gamification platform for corporate team building, as well as the travel and hospitality industry.

Attendees were randomly split into teams at the start of the event to encourage networking with people they were less likely to be familiar with. Each team was given their first clue and off they went. At each stop, participants had to answer a trivia question in order to get to their next clue via a QR code scan.
