What Activities should I expect?

An Activity gives you something to do: find a detail, answer a question, or check in at a place. The Host’s instructions tell you what to look for and what to send.

What you might be asked to send

Photo

Find what the Host asks for and send a photo. The instructions tell you what should be in it.

Written answer

Look for an answer at a stop or solve a question and type your response.

Photo or written answer

Choose either response when the Activity offers both options.

GPS check-in

Allow a location check at the stop. It checks that one location against the Host’s checkpoint area; it does not track the road you drove.

QR check-in

Use the Host’s marker at the stop. If scanning is difficult, you can enter its code.

Send your response

At a safe stop, open the Activity on your participant page and follow its instructions. If service is weak, you can save a response on your device and send it when you have a connection. Check that Miles & Hours received it before Event Close.

Your page shows when a response is waiting for the Host’s review and whether it is accepted or rejected. An accepted, on-time response can earn the points the Host set. Some Events also use Start or Finish check-ins.
