Make sure you have the JOIN CODE that you received for your activity.
Make sure participants’ phone batteries are as fully charged as possible. This helps ensure smooth participation and reduces the risk of interruptions.
If you wish, you can prepare for the activity in advance as follows:
It is recommended that all participants install the free ActionTrack app (Google Play / App Store) on their phones before the event.
Participants can be divided in advance into teams (= clans) that together use four mobile devices. Each mobile device can be shared by 1–3 team members so that everyone can clearly see the tasks. The recommended team size is 4–8 people.
Team captains can also be appointed in advance.
The above steps will speed up the start of the event and ensure that everyone can get going smoothly.
Normally, the game consists of short rounds that can be played with the team whenever suitable, or as agreed. For example, the game may consist of 4 × 10-minute, 4 × 12-minute, or 4 × 15-minute rounds.
Decide how you want to play your game: how many rounds there will be and when they will be played. Will everyone play at the same time, or can teams play whenever it suits them best?
If you are playing the game in connection with a dinner, rounds can be played at the table, for example before the starter, between courses, and again at the end.
Welcome to the Clue Detectives game! Split into teams and choose a captain whose phone will act as the team’s main device. The captain installs the ActionTrack app, downloads the game using the join code, creates a clan for the team, and joins the clan. From the remaining team members, choose three who also install the ActionTrack app, download the game, and join the clan after the captain. Once the teams are ready, you can begin. Enjoy the game!
Dear participants, a warm welcome to the Clue Detectives game! Before we get started, we need to do the following:
Teams (= clans) use a total of four mobile devices. Each mobile device can be shared by 1–3 team members so that everyone can clearly see the tasks. The recommended team size is 4–8 people.
Team sizes may vary – that is not a problem. Choose a team setup that feels right for you.
The captain uses the team’s main mobile device (phone or tablet).
The device should be:
relatively new
fully charged
equipped with a properly functioning GPS
Note: The game cannot be continued on another device, so make sure the device works properly before starting.
Download the free ActionTrack app from Google Play or the App Store. Grant all requested permissions so the game functions correctly.
Captain:
Downloads the game using the join code
Enters their player name
Creates a clan for the team (Clan view → “Create new”)
Gives the clan a name and password
Joins the created clan first by entering the password
If the password is forgotten right at the beginning, the captain can easily create a new clan with a new password.
Other team members:
Select three team members who:
Install the ActionTrack app
Download the game using the join code
Enter their preferred player name
Join the clan created by the captain by selecting it from the list and entering the password
In this entirely new kind of “quiz” game, each team has four mobile devices at its disposal and must solve clue-based challenges related to selected topics. Each mobile device receives several unique clues at short intervals. By examining, comparing, and discussing these clues, the team must determine the correct answer that connects them as quickly as possible. The answer can only be found through cooperation.
During the game, the team captain controls the pace of progress. When the captain activates the next clue challenge, the challenge’s unique clues will soon appear on all of the team’s mobile devices. When the captain submits an answer, the other devices move into a waiting state for the next clue challenge.
Between rounds, players can freely leave the game and return to it. The game can be found in the “Ongoing” tab of the ActionTrack app.
