  1. What information would the qr codes contain?

    How would the individual be identified in the scavenger hunt?

    Would the code contain a web address and the hunter would have to provide his/her username on that web page to be credited the points?

  2. The QR codes on attendees name tags had their contact info and a link to the Google IO website. The contact info could be added to your GMail account and visiting the website you were prompted to log into Friend Connect which kept track of points.

  3. Can you divulge what results you saw from this scavenger hunt? What did you measure and what results did you achieve?
