You've heard that gamification can transform your event, but you're worried it'll take weeks to set up. It won't. With the right platform, you can go from zero to a fully gamified event experience in under 10 minutes.
Here's exactly how to do it with StampRise.
Sign up for free, click "Create Event", and fill in the basics - event name, date, and your brand colours. Upload your logo if you want the stamp card to match your event branding. That's it for setup.
Stations are the locations participants will visit and scan - booths, stages, checkpoints, sponsor areas, whatever you need. Add each station with a name and optional description. StampRise automatically generates a unique QR code for each one.
You can also choose between "open mode" (anyone can scan) and "registered mode" (participants register with their name and email first). Registered mode is great for lead capture.
Add milestone rewards - for example, visit 3 stations to earn a branded t-shirt, complete all stations to enter the grand prize draw. You can also set up a spin-the-wheel game that participants unlock when they complete their digital stamp card.
Turn on the live leaderboard with one toggle. Choose whether to rank by stamps collected or points earned. The leaderboard updates in real time as participants scan QR codes.
Download your QR posters for each station. Print them out, place them at your booths, and you're live. Participants scan the QR code with their phone camera - no app download needed. They instantly get their mobile stamp card and can start collecting.
No developers, no custom app, no complicated setup. In 10 minutes you've created a gamified event experience with digital stamp cards, QR-based check-ins, a leaderboard, and a prize system. All that's left is to watch the engagement data roll in on your analytics dashboard.
Can I really set up event gamification in 10 minutes?
Yes - using a no-app platform like StampRise. Most of the time goes into adding station names; QR codes, leaderboard, and prize logic are configured with toggles and form fields, not code.
Do I need to install anything as the organiser?
No. Setup runs entirely in a web browser on your laptop. Participants also don't install anything - they scan QR codes from any phone camera.
What hardware do I need on event day?
Just printed QR posters at each station. No scanners, tablets, or staff devices required. Participants use their own phones.
Can I try before I buy?
Yes. Setting up your account and building your event on StampRise is completely free. No credit card, no time limit. You only pay when you're ready to go live.
