Want to make a simple kids Scavenger Hunt

Hi all - V new to Glide and very non technical so I am a bit stuck.

I want to make a scavenger hunt page on an event app I am building for a historical re-enactment. The purpose of this is to get people exploring the whole event site and encourage kids to get involved.

I would ideally love to have a list with an item to find, some text about it, and an image to illustrate it. The visitors should be able to check each one when they find it, and once they have checked everything they can get a prize.

I cannot work out how best to do this - I have a checklist, but I’m not sure if each visitor can check this independently and how to set this up - and also you cant add images.

I don’t need any checking - it’s just a bit of fun for a sweetie - but I’m a bit lost!
It seems so simple but my stupid brain can’t work it out!

Any help gratefully received!

You can combine the checklist status as a user-specific column directly in your Items table for a simple scavenger hunt app. I assume your users will never sign in.

Here’s a sample of how your Items table would look, with a user-specific “Checked” column included:

Items Table

ID Name Description Image URL Checked (User-specific)
I001 Find the Red Flag Look for the red flag near the gate https://imgur.com/red.png TRUE/FALSE
I002 Old Cannon Spot the old cannon by the hill https://imgur.com/cannon.png TRUE/FALSE
I003 Blacksmith’s Forge Visit the blacksmith’s demonstration https://imgur.com/forge.png TRUE/FALSE
  • The “Checked” column is set as a user-specific boolean in Glide’s Data Editor.
  • Each device/user can check off items independently, even without signing in.
  • Add a helper table somewhere else, let’s say a “Home” table where you can add a rollup to check if all “Checked” values are TRUE, at which point you can display a prize or congratulatory message.

Please note that if your users close the app, the booleans they have checked will go away and they will have to start again, it might be helpful to add a note.
