iBeacons
In Loquiz iBeacons can be used as question activators, meaning that they open questions once the mobile device is in the range of Bluetooth beacon. Beacons are additional activators – all the regular activators (GPS, QR-codes) still work, but beacons can be used in addition to those. Beacon implementation is in Beta. Please test before […]
Chat
Chat functionality allows teams to share text messages with other teams (default) within an event. This helps to keep up the team spirit and help each other out. It is also possible to send message to game instructor and vice versa, so instructor can send important information during the game using Chat.
QR-codes
In Loquiz QR codes work as question activators, which means that they open the questions once the player points the built-in QR reader at the QR code. QR codes are additional activators – all the regular activators (GPS, iBeacons) still work, but QR codes can be used in addition to those.
Adding picture overlay onto map (beta!)
Loquiz now allows users to add picture overlay onto the map in outdoor games (this feature is in Beta, so use with caution!). This picture can be a detailed map, drawing, tourist map, photo, sketch, icons etc. Read more to find out how to add and modify picture overlay.
Creating events
In order to play specific game you need to create an event. One game can be played in several events and all the teams in specific event are shown in one results table.
Marking finish
In outdoor games finish location needs to be marked. Games can have only one finish location and you can use any question as a finish location.
Game settings (configure)
Different games have slightly different settings, but majority of the settings are the same for all the game types. This article explains differences between general and game type specific settings.
