A worksheet gets lost, copied, or ignored by the third exhibit. Findyst gives students photo and auto-graded text challenges tied to specific stops, so you know exactly who engaged with the material, without collecting a single clipboard.
Every field trip runs into the same three snags.
Students walk past exhibits without really looking at them, and there's no easy way to tell who engaged and who just wandered.
Photo and text-answer challenges tied to specific stops require students to actually find the exhibit and prove what they learned.
Paper checklist worksheets get lost, copied from a classmate, or handed in half-finished.
Text-answer challenges auto-grade against the right answer, so you get instant, per-student results without marking a single sheet.
Getting student accounts or emails approved by IT can take weeks you don't have before a trip.
Students join by scanning a QR code in their phone browser. No student email, account, or app install required.
Write a challenge for each exhibit, building, or landmark you want students to visit. Add a printable checklist option for classes without phones.
They scan a QR code and start playing, no login required. Turn on approval mode to review submissions before the class sees them.
Check the leaderboard and activity feed to see who completed which stops. Download the photos and answers for your own records.

Print a paper checklist version of the hunt for a simple, text-based backup.
For students who do have a phone, background uploads tolerate spotty museum or campus wifi. A submission queues automatically and sends once there's a connection, so nothing gets lost.
Yes. Turn on approval mode and nothing goes public until you've checked it.
You stay in control of what appears on the shared feed or leaderboard, which matters when you're supervising a group of students in public spaces.
