1. SCVNGR Open House Trek
U @ La Roche | Fall 2011
Go places. Do challenges. Earn points.
Two ways To play:
• Free mobile app (iphone/android)
• Text message
The more challenges you complete, more points you earn, more likely
to earn a reward.
--
open House Goals:
• Inform: echo the information provided on walking tour
• engage: provide another way for prospectives and parents to interact
with the campus
• Increase number of people participating in the trek
(approx. 25 participants played in the trek at the summer open house)
sCVnGR is a tool to further engage, but not replace what you accomplish
with the tour.
The more that potential students and parents engage and invest with the places
and people on campus, the more they feel at home; the more questions that are
answered; more that they know... the more likely they are to choose la Roche.
sCVnGR is one of the tools we use to help accomplish that goal.

wHaT THIs means duRInG TouR:
your excitement is contageous:
• encourage them to play
• Remind them at the start of the tour that they can win prizes:
First place: ipod shuffle
second place: $25 bookstore gift card
Third place: la Roche t-shirt
Top 10 finishers: la Roche/sCVnGR swag
some challenges may touch upon what you mention in the tour (giving participants
incentive to pay close attention to you for answers); some challenges may give
additional information not covered specifically in the tour script--a way to entice
them with another reason to play.
2. aT THe end oF TouR:
let them know how they’ll know if they’ve won:
• If they play via the app, we will contact them through the app (via a comment
on one of their challenges)

To redeem prizes, direct them to the registration table by the entrance to the
College Center.
