Questions about this template

Why turn onboarding into a game?
Because each answer has to be found on the floor, the new joiner walks around, asks colleagues and meets people on day one, instead of reading a PDF alone at a desk.
Does it work for remote hires?
Yes. Move the whiteboard clue to a page in your wiki or a pinned message in the team channel, and the new hire plays the same link from home.
What kind of clues work best?
Answers only a specific person or place can give: a founding date on a wall, a meeting room name, the manager's favourite snack. That way each step is a reason to talk to someone new.
Is this template free?
Playing it and editing it in the builder are free for everyone. Publishing it with its paid options needs an Event Pass or Pro; remove them at Publish and it goes live on the free plan, for good.
Can I change the answers and the texts?
Yes. Every code, clue, hint and reward opens in the builder, and nothing is saved until you publish.
What do players need?
A phone or a computer with a browser. They open your link or scan your QR code, and never create an account.
How long does it take to play?
About 20 minutes, from the first lock to the reward.
