So players choose themselves which task they want to open first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 start field\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 when game starts, only this start point is visible on the map. When this task is answered, all the other locations without activation rules will become visible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>2 or more start fields<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 when game starts only marked start points are visible. When all marked start points are answered, then all the other locations without activation rules will become visible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Additional feature \u2013 rotate start fields.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In Scavenger you can make teams have separate start fields. For this you first need to mark start points (as many as there are teams) on \u201cActivation\u201d tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this check the tickbox \u201cRotate start fields\u201d (see screenshot below) and check if all start fields listed are correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you make start fields rotate then each team will see different start point from your marked list of start points. After visiting the first location all other locations will appear on the map (also the starting points for other teams), but then teams are in different places physically already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/uncategorized\/separating-teams-at-the-game-start\/\">how to separate teams from the start&nbsp;<\/a>and how to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/uncategorized\/make-teams-follow-different-routes\/\">make teams follow different routes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"654\" src=\"https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-1024x654.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-1024x654.png 1024w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-1536x982.png 1536w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-60x38.png 60w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/loquiz.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screenshot-2026-03-20-155105-1.png 1543w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Loquiz it is possible to use a start field in several outdoor game types (Scavenger and Strategy).
