Target Hunt
Target Hunt is GamifyTL's image-based identification game. A host prepares an image with target locations, and participants answer prompts by selecting the correct target on that image.
When to use Target Hunt
Use Target Hunt when learners need to identify something visually, such as a location on a map or a part of a diagram. Choose a clear image and space targets far enough apart to select on a phone. A successful selection can start a deeper question: what does the identified part do, and how does it relate to its surroundings?
How Target Hunt works
- Create a Target Hunt session, upload a suitable image and prepare its target prompts.
- Check target placement and readability on a small screen, then invite the class with the room code or QR.
- Run the activity as students select targets. Review the results and explain any commonly confused locations.
Classroom example
Reading a map
Use a map you are licensed to share and place targets on locations covered in the lesson. Ask students to locate a feature, then explain its significance. Ensure that labels or nearby targets do not make the selection ambiguous.
