Hunt progression analytics
Use analytics snapshots and exports to understand how participants move through a Treasure Hunt.
Measure how your Treasure Hunt performed and decide when a dashboard answers the question and when you need to export the data for deeper analysis.
What you can measure today
Treasure Hunt reporting is strongest for:
- overall hunt activity at campaign or Touchpoint level
- completion and participation patterns over time
- exported participant or form datasets for deeper analysis
- dashboard snapshots you need to share with other teams
Use exports for deeper journey analysis
If you need a custom object-by-object view or a tailored progression analysis, the most reliable approach is to export the underlying data and analyze it outside OmniLab.
Match the question to the reporting surface
For a quick top-level read, start with campaign Analytics. Reach for an export when you need record-level detail or a custom view.
| Question | Best place to look | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| How much overall activity did the hunt generate? | Campaign Analytics | Best for the top-level performance view over a date range. |
| How did engagement change during the activation? | Campaign Analytics | Good for trend snapshots and stakeholder reporting. |
| Which participants completed the hunt or submitted form data? | Participants exports | Best when you need record-level detail. |
| Which form answers came from the hunt? | Participants > Participation forms data | Best for operational follow-up or spreadsheet analysis. |
| Do I need a custom route or object analysis? | Export the data to CSV | Best when you need to slice the hunt more deeply than the dashboard view. |
Use the dashboard for the fast read
Start with campaign analytics when you want the quickest answer to questions like:
- Was the hunt active enough during the campaign period?
- Did engagement rise after a placement change or launch push?
- Is the overall experience worth extending, repeating, or promoting harder?
This is the right surface for daily checks, team updates, and top-level performance snapshots.
Use exports for the deeper read
Exports are the better choice when you need to:
- identify the participants behind the results
- hand off data to another team
- analyze form submissions in a spreadsheet
- build a custom view of progression or completion outside the dashboard
Two export routes cover most needs:
- Use Analytics when you want a PDF snapshot.
- Use Participants or Participation forms data when you want CSV detail.
What to look for in the results
Treasure Hunt analytics are most useful when they help you improve the real-world route:
- In fixed-route hunts, look for the first stage where participants seem to fall away.
- In any-order hunts, compare whether some locations attract more activity than others.
- When augmented-reality objects underperform, review device support and on-site testing before you change the creative concept.
- If completion is low, review the difficulty of hints, questions, and physical placement together rather than in isolation.
