We put challenges to the campus community that involved taking their Flat Captain on different missions and posting photos or videos to their team groups. Those photos were voted on inside the group to choose the best ones. \n
The posts that got the most number of team Likes were launched to the weekly finals. Our very own Gamemaster (Matt Allen) would repost the best post from each group to the main Undergrad page. And again, the one that got the most likes (this time from anyone who visited the page) won, and their team got points.\n
We developed most of the challenges ahead of time, leaving wildcard challenges up to the discretion of the Gamemaster (and the Marketing team). The campus community joined in 3 weeks before the general acceptance mailing went out, and by the time our accepted students got their team assignments, there was a lot of fun rivalry, tons of great images and videos, and personal greetings from the captains lighting up the Facebook groups and page. So we learned something else from the feedback...\n

After launch the gamemasters put up posters around campus and held weekly social events in our student center...\n
Marketing had giant foam cutout versions of the captains made and let them loose to the students.\nThese event provided photo and video-ops and, in turn, spurred on more participation and created more content for us.\nThe team scores were tallied each week and reported both on Facebook and on campus.\n

The momentum for this game was kept going because we had dedicated students running it, who were active on campus. Visibility is key to growing that kind of community – essentially giving your campus something to rally around.\n\nNow, I’ve been talking a lot our on-campus community and the changes... \n
\n
We wanted 3 things better yield, increased morale, and better community unification\nAnd we were surprised by the impact this had on-campus.\n

strengthen retention - we saw a massive response from our students, and pretty decent social activity from our accepted students. \nBut they’re connected anyway, right?\n
