FAQs
+ BOOKING PROCESS
Because the Exploratorium is a living museum that is frequently changing and moving its exhibits, we require two weeks lead time to ensure the game challenges are up to date.
Talk to one of our event coordinators to schedule your event. Once scheduled, you’ll receive a confirmation with all of the details that you need for the event!
Yes! If you have any special requests, please schedule time with our event coordinators
If you have a tight budget, we’ll do our best to accommodate Please schedule time with our event coordinators to discuss
+ PREPARING FOR THE EVENT
We’ll give you everything you need to organize the event:
1) You will need to organize your attendees into teams. We can help with ideas.
2) You will need to share your event link with your teams. We can supply a unique link or QR code to make it simple.
We handle the rest! There is no special prep or setup needed.
We do not handle event registrations at this time. We found that event registration was best handled by team and event organizers who have full context for the attendees. We’re happy to suggest ways to manage this process if helpful
You will provide the location for the event and any custom content requirements. We will use our GPS mapping skills for outdoor events. If your event is indoors, we will work with you on QR code placement.
+ ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY DETAILS
Once you have assigned teams, each team will need to elect a captain to log in to the link we provide. Once the game starts, it’s very easy to understand the flow of the game. See the Team Quest Demo Video above for a complete picture of how the event works.
All the questions and challenges will be visible on the team captain’s smart phone in the Team Quest interface.
Yes. Each team will see how many points they have accrued and a leaderboard will be seen throughout the event. While there should be a clear winner, the team camaraderie will be felt by all attendees.
+ ACTIVITY CONTENT
This activity is for organizations with members looking to form richer connections with each other in a fun environment. Great for team building and corporate events.
It is appropriate for corporate audiences. Our expert event facilitators have hosted many events for many different teams, and the activity itself features no mature content.
We are happy to work with you to provide the experience that you’re looking for and will do our best to accommodate your needs. Please schedule time with our event coordinators to discuss.
