How do I create an event?

Steps

1. Click Events in the top bar.

2. Click the new page icon above the events table.
3. Fill in the required fields:

Field	What to enter
Name	The event name (visible to participants)
Number of Teams	Maximum number of teams
Duration	How many days the event stays open (minimum 3, maximum 120, default 15)
Location	Type an address or click the map
Theme	Visual style for the player app (Default, Christmas, Pirates, Halloween)

4. Click Save.

You are on the Event Edit page with 10 tabs. Configure the gameplay options in the Event tab:

Option	What it does
Allow players to click map icons	Players can tap a challenge on the map without walking to it
Enable custom point labelling	Allows custom text on challenge map pins instead of default icons
Display rankings exclusively for the active segment	Hides the overall leaderboard, shows only the active segment ranking
Hide chat icon on app	Removes the in-app team chat button
Background color	Background color for the app (hex value)

Result

The event is created but not active — it needs teams, challenges, and routes before it can be started.

If something goes wrong: If the save fails, check that all required fields are filled. Name and Number of Teams cannot be empty.
