Goosechase Reviews
Pros
I love the pre-existing choices of missions but also love the ability to customize and create our own missions.
Amazing platform to guide people around our city, showing off historic sites, cool cultural attractions, and fun locations. GooseChase is easy to design, simple to implement, and a snap to monitor.
I have successfully used GoosechaseEDU over the past few years with all of my student cohorts. It is wonderful for summaries of learning, campus orientation, end-of-year get-togethers, and more.
Fun and easy to use - You can create a variety of missions of your own or take some of the suggestions. Good for virtual scavenger hunts or real life location based hunts.
Cons
I wanted to pull the media that we acquired during the goose chase, and it was difficult for me to pull everything off one by one.
I've used so many programs before but never for as long as Goosechase. I even pay for the subscription myself now, as my school stopped offering the paid version.
The terminology of the missions is a bit confusing until you figure it out.
I only wanted to use Goosechase for this one single trip and there were no options other than the annual subscription.

Goosechase Review: Kids & Adults Will Love It.
Eric B.
"Amazing to use"
Pros: Goosechase is really easy to use and if you ever have any problem, their customer support is amazing!
Cons: Don't really have any complaints about this software.
"GooseChase more than a scavenger hunt"
Overall: The app is versatile. The employees are friendly and responsive. The company's new community forum, The Nest, is informative and empowering. I find this company quite valuable in my role as an educator of both elementary and secondary students, not to mention with my fellow educators.
Pros: I love the versatility of this app. Students/players have the ability to complete challenges with text, photo, video and/or gps input. These options encourage a variety of depth and breadth in regard to learning challenges.
Cons: In past years, students had to have a particular mission/challenge open. This prevented students from uploading photos/videos from their camera roll. That was a negative issue because many of my high school students have phones that only work on wifi. I shared my concern of this issue with the company. After a year, they provided the option in an update. I was thrilled.
"Bang for your Buck"
Overall: We love the ease of the website, how you can customize, and also the ability to add your own content. We love the live action leaderboard as well.
Pros: I love the features. I love that it is child and adult friendly. I love that we can access it at school. I also love that we can access it with their devices as well.
Cons: The thing I don't like the most is the price. We use it every year for our Vacation Bible School for the groups to gain more points. We also use it for church events as I am a teacher AND a events/social media manager for our church. At school, I use it for different units and for events as well. The hard thing about school is that we are at an area that doesn't have a lot of cell service so we have to use our iPads and we are limited there with the number of devices. I am part of the educator discount, but it is still just so pricey to use, especially if I was only using it in my classroom. I do appreciate the educator discount however.
"An Absolute Gamechanger"
Overall: LOVE it!! Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE the Goosechase support team. They are friendly, respond quickly, and really do care.
Pros: Goosechase has been an absolute game changer for us! We use it for literally everything, and it is so much fun. It has allowed us to provide our services to families in a fun, gamified manner; it makes analytics and communication easy, and the Goosechase team is absolutely AMAZING!
Cons: I wish we had better options for organizing our various hunts. It would also be nice to have an option for 2-way communication and even commenting within the game.
"Create digitally advanced and interactive training and teaching experience for organizations !"
