Control the scoring in case user answers incorrectly.

• Incorrect answers give 0 points (default) – players will not lose any points if they answer incorrectly.
• Incorrect answers give negative points – if players answer incorrectly, they will lose points. Negative points equal the set task score (points that task would give, when answered correctly). It is also possible to make task score negative (e.g. -100) : in this case, both correct and incorrect answers give negative points, if this setting is activated.

To do it, you need to change settings while creating/editing the game, just go to “Configure” page and under “Game settings” choose “Incorrect answers give negative points”. If the task score is negative then both correct and incorrect answers give negative points.

Negative points are used to create zones where players should not go in Rogain or Match game type. To create a “toll zone” create “no answer” type of task and set a negative value to it. When a player goes to the zone, a task which can be only answered correctly (as it is no answer) pops up and therefore the player is awarded negative points.
