SocialPoint’s new and improved Post-a-Pic feature makes it easy to capture those photos and turn them into a shared experience during your scavenger hunt recap and awards ceremony.
Share the photos on a monitor or projection screen, or put them on your website. Or do both!

One of the most popular questions our clients ask is, “What is the best way to structure how we pick winners for prize giveaways in our game?” Our clients want to feel confident they are doing the right thing to make their trade show booth games or event gamification a success.
Since we build so many different types of games for many different kinds of events, we have seen a lot of good ideas and bad ideas on picking prize winners. Below I will share only the good ones!
Rewards, Recognition, or Both?
Usually, clients want to create a fair process and make players feel like they still have a chance at success. A common fear is that the prize will appear out of reach after the first day.
On Facebook recently, a friend of mine shared a photo of a conference room that made me cringe. It was a ballroom filled with tan chairs in rows.
I felt sorry for the 600 people who were going to be stuffed into those uncomfortable chairs in rows for hours on end listening to somebody ramble through 130 slides.
Contrast that with a friend of mine who is the VP of Marketing for a Manufacturing company. He is responsible for his annual sales meeting and wanted to pump up the energy in the room. He wanted cheering, excitement, and energy.
Your Event App + SocialPoint = Improved Attendee Engagement
Recently, I downloaded the Event App Bible from the thought leaders at the Event Manager Blog. (Get it here)
While we don’t make Event Apps, we always like to see what the more than 120 event app providers are doing — or not doing. This year, we were excited to see Attendee Engagement and Interactivity (top trend), Gamification (#4 trend) and Interactive Q&A (#10 trend) all rank so high on the chart. Further, we were surprised to see that many of the Event Apps reviewed by the Event Manager Blog are missing capabilities that we offer.
It got us thinking.
We should compare ourselves to event apps so you can see how these two technologies work together to improve attendee engagement.
How Does SocialPoint Compare to Event Apps?
At SocialPoint, our strength is helping deliver dependable, on-brand, custom-looking interactive trade show games and event gamification quickly.
Event Apps, on the other hand, are your online event guide and a single point of contact for event communication.
How do you integrate SocialPoint’s audience engagement games into an Event App?
Let’s use CVENT’s Crowd Compass as an example. In Crowd Compass, you can set up an icon with a link to our web-based app. When attendees click on the icon image, it opens our game as an internal web browser link inside the event app. When the player is ready to return to the event app, they click the back button to exit the game and return to the main menu.
It’s a simple way to add gamification to enhance the attendee experience at corporate meetings and conferences.
What are some of the ways that SocialPoint improves the attendee experience?
1. Manage Live Polls, Interactive Q&A, Word Clouds & Brainstorming
Our app allows you to set up a “show flow” of different types of questions that can be pushed to the attendees (by room) when it is appropriate.
2. Trivia Games and Quizzes with Leaderboards
If you want to turn up the engagement, then use our three strikes trivia game. A popular strategy is to activate trivia during breaks and put the leaderboard on the big screen during walk-in and walk-out. Attendees will go wild. You will quickly get more than 10,000 trivia questions answered in a one-day event.
3. Spin to Win Prize Wheel
Use this as a name picker or a prize picker – either approach will generate excitement in your event. Why SocialPoint? Branded, inventory management, and looks fantastic on the big screen.
4. Attendee Participation Game (APG)
It may look like word soup, but the APG is a content-based event gamification product. The APG ties together the best of what SocialPoint has to offer, so you can script out content-based games aligned to your event’s objectives. Which other vendor allows you to build games that include trivia, kiosks, prize wheels, and leaderboards?
