It is strongly recommended that you read through the eATLAS FAQs on the website or the app.  There are details around functionality of the app that could help your Challenge performance.   

One Person should be registered as the Team Leader and another person as the Alternate Leader for each team.  If these roles need to be changed, they can be assigned to any Team Member who has joined the Adventure:

  3. Tap ‘Edit Team’ and tap the three vertical dots next to the Team Member who is being assigned the Team or Alternate Leader role.

  6. This process will need to be repeated for each role change in any of the three Scavenger Hunts.

Only the Team Leader can submit the official team answer for each Stop.  The Scavenger Hunts may contain the following types of Stops: points of interest, location, photo or text.   

You may be asked to find a particular place, such as a statue or building for a location type point of interest.  Once you think you’re within 15 meters (or ~49 feet) of the location, select ‘GUESS’ at the bottom-right of the screen. 

For a photo type, you will be asked to go to a particular place and take a photo that you submit thru the app and which can then also be submitted to social media, if you choose.  If a selfie is required for that question…all members of the team MUST be included in the selfie. 

You may be asked to respond to a question related to that point of interest or objective in the Scavenger Hunt.  For example, “What was the first name of the US president during the Civil War?”  Answer the question to the best of your ability. 

Once each Individual Player or team has completed all the Stops, select ‘MARK ADVENTURE AS COMPLETE’ to end that Scavenger Hunt.
