Link rewards and badges
Understand when a Treasure Hunt should use badges, rewards, or both.
Treasure Hunts can use both badges and rewards, but they do different jobs.
- Use badges when you want participants to collect, unlock, or visually track progress through the hunt.
- Use rewards when the hunt should grant something with value, eligibility, or redemption attached to it.
For Treasure Hunt Objects, badges are the most common progression layer because they represent the items participants have found. Rewards are the better fit when completing the hunt, reaching a threshold, or winning an outcome should lead to a prize or claim flow.
Think of badges as progression and rewards as outcomes
If the participant should feel progress, use a badge. If the participant should receive something meaningful at the end of that progress, use a reward.
