If your event uses the QR Code Scan method for card distribution, you’ll collect cards by scanning QR codes placed at each stop. These QR codes are unique to each location and serve as your check-in to receive the next card in your hand.


📍 Where to Find the Scan Feature

Once you’re registered for a QR-based event:

Your Events > Select Event > Tap “Scan QR Code for Next Card”


📲 How It Works

When you tap the “Scan QR Code for Next Card” button:

  1. Your device’s camera will open

  2. Point it at the printed Stop QR Code at the check-in station

  3. Once scanned, your next card will be dealt instantly to your hand in the app

✅ This is the fastest and easiest way to stay on track during your event.


🔢 Entering the Code Manually

Can’t use your camera?

You also have the option to manually enter the code listed below the QR on the printed stop poster.

Steps:

  1. Enter the two-part code into the boxes (e.g., YAH and 547)

  2. Tap “Get Your Card”

  3. Your card will be dealt just like it would with a QR scan


📄 Example Poster

Here’s what a QR code stop poster looks like:

  • The top lists the event and stop name

  • A large QR code appears in the center for scanning

  • Below it is a manual check-in code for participants who can’t scan

🟩 Tips

  • If you're having trouble scanning, try adjusting your phone’s angle or lighting

  • You only need to scan or check in once per stop

  • Make sure you are logged into the same account you registered with
