Add Scavenger hunt-like scoring

rlisenko commented 9 months ago

If gamification is to encourage people to talk to others, and the scoring is based entirely on who talks to the most people, then a total score determining prizes could discourage those who aren't extroverts.

Some kind of scavenger hunt, where talking to a person who is from Chicago gets you X prize, or Airdropping to a speaker gets you Y, or if you find the person who did XYZ you get double points, or etc etc. Random trivia, random swag prizes. Find a way that would be easy enough to score at the show to award prizes before the end of the last day.

Maybe some sort of bingo, but with questions more specific to Apple devs?

Hopefully I don't get this repo shut down for including a link to this site 😅 but (https://www.atlassian.com/blog/teamwork/icebreaker-games-authentic-connections)

The 2nd and 7th idea jumped out at me. Specifically the True/False was a version Josh used with each presenter last year. It would be cool to extend that while addressing the concerns of the "Jane persona" where people don't talk to them, where attendees get a selfie with a presenter, learn which one of their 3 answers was the lie by talking to them, that could be very clear and easy; Choose in the app A, B or C, where the more answers the attendee collects, the more points they get.

Not sure how the 7th idea of finding topics in common would be scored, let alone how the UI would work, wouldn't want this to involve a lot of explaining or mental overhead, just found it interesting.
