Flexible Pass Completions
Verify visits with GPS check-ins, and keep things moving with a photo submission backup when coverage is unreliable. Photo submissions can include an optional description and are reviewed by a pass administrator before they count.
Multiple Ways to Verify a Visit
Not every stop behaves the same in the real world. Downtown check-ins are usually straightforward. Outdoor routes, rural attractions, and large venues can be less predictable.
Primary: GPS check-ins
A fast, low-friction way to verify a participant is near the location.
Backup: Photo submission + admin approval
A flexible fallback when GPS or connectivity is not reliable, with human review to keep it fair.
GPS Check-Ins
GPS check-ins are ideal when you want instant completion without signage or staff involvement. Participants simply tap to check in when they are near the stop, and their progress updates immediately.
This works especially well for city passes, downtown districts, and attractions where coverage is consistent.
Why GPS check-ins work
- No signage required: Nothing to print or place at the location.
- Fast experience: A simple tap and the item is complete.
- Low admin overhead: Most check-ins do not require review.
- Consistent progress: Visitors stay engaged as they move to the next stop.
Photo Submissions (Backup)
When GPS is unreliable or there is limited cell service, participants can complete an item by submitting a photo as proof. They can also include an optional description, which helps clarify what the photo shows.
Every submission is reviewed by a pass administrator before it counts, keeping completions accurate and rewards fair.
What participants submit
- Photo: Proof they were at the stop (landmark, signage, receipt, event moment, etc.).
- Optional description: A short note for context (location detail, what they did, confirmation info).
- Submission timing: They can submit when they are back online.
When Cell Service Is Limited
This combination is what makes outdoor and rural passes realistic. You can still offer a clean, modern experience without forcing every stop into a single verification method.
Trail systems
Keep the pass usable at trailheads, viewpoints, and remote markers.
Scenic routes
Support stops spread across terrain where coverage varies mile to mile.
Large outdoor events
Offer a fallback for crowded areas where connectivity can degrade.
Admin Review Keeps It Credible
Photo submissions are designed for flexibility, but they still need guardrails. Admin review gives you full control over what counts as a completion.
Approve real visits
Confirm the photo matches the location and requirement.
Reject invalid entries
Stop duplicates, unrelated photos, or low-effort submissions.
Protect rewards
Keep giveaways, perks, and incentives legitimate.
