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’ll be checking-in at a specific location or solving a puzzle or riddle. Missions change from game to game, but the fun and excitement will always be there.

Remember that while you receive the points right away, all submissions are subject to review by the organizer. Sometimes you’ll even get bonus points if your submission is extra impressive!

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.

If you’re as competitive as we are, you’ll realize how awesome this is! At any given moment, you know exactly how you’re doing and what needs to be done to win.

Achieve Glory

When time runs out, the game may be done, but the fun is definitely not over. That's because organizers still need to announce the final scores after they review the submissions. It's why you should always push hard until the very end, because you don't know if the teams ahead of you will have taken any shortcuts!

As a final treat, the organizer will often put together a slideshow of the best photos & videos. From our experience, this is often the best part and always results in non-stop laughter!
