A Goosechase alternative that costs a fraction per player

Goosechase is a solid, well-known scavenger hunt platform — and for many teams more than they need to pay. EventBattle runs the same photo-mission format at one flat price per game: no event packages, no annual licences.

When EventBattle is the better pick

  • You run one-off or occasional events and don't want an annual licence.
  • Budget matters: a 10-player game is $29, not $99.
  • Large groups: 100 players cost $250 on per-player pricing.
  • You want to write your own tasks in minutes and hit publish.

When Goosechase may fit better

  • You want a large library of ready-made game templates.
  • Your organisation prefers an annual licence covering many events and organisers.
  • You need education-specific programs and onboarding.
  • Native team mode matters — EventBattle players compete individually or share a device as a team.

Switching from Goosechase — what actually changes

The game format carries over almost one to one: you write photo tasks, players join on their phones, and a live leaderboard scores the event. Rebuilding a mission list in EventBattle's task editor is copy-paste work — each task has a title, description, points, and an optional photo-proof requirement.

Two things work differently. EventBattle has no template library, so you start from a preset or your own list rather than browsing ready-made missions. And players compete individually — a team shares one device or a team nickname instead of Goosechase's native team mode. What you gain is the pricing model: one flat price per game, no event package, no annual licence, and the whole setup stays self-serve up to 500 players.

Frequently asked questions

Is EventBattle cheaper than Goosechase?

For single events, substantially: a 10-player game costs $29 on EventBattle versus $99 on Goosechase, and 25 players cost $59 versus a larger event package or annual licence. If you run many events every year, Goosechase's annual licences can close that gap.

Does EventBattle have a free plan like Goosechase?

Yes. EventBattle's free plan covers 3 players, 30 tasks, and a 1-day game; Goosechase's free tier covers 3 participants for up to 24 hours. Both are meant for trying the product before a real event.

Does EventBattle have a team mode like Goosechase?

Not natively — EventBattle players compete individually, so teams either share one device or play under a shared team nickname. Goosechase offers native team and individual modes. If per-device team play is essential, that is a genuine point for Goosechase.

Do I need a sales call to get started?

No. EventBattle is fully self-serve from the free plan up to 500-player events — you build the game in a web configurator and pay per game at checkout.
