Take the Tour

Ready for the tour? Below you will be guided through the different steps of a typical way in which 7scenes is used.

Your project

This is your starting point. You just got your subscription that comes with one or more project pages that you manage yourself.

Set up your projects and project admins
Create your projects and assign the people that will administer them for you. Each project can be found at http://www.7scenes.com/[your_project]. So if you're a museum for instance, you can create a project page for your exhibition. 

Adding content to a project page
Project admins get to edit the project page and add an icon, project description, photos and videos, contact info and much more. 

Authorizing directors to a project
Project admins allow other users - either from the 7scenes userbase or brand new ones - to be 'directors' and create scenes for the project.

Scenes and users
Directors can start creating scenes right from the project page, which are grouped nicely together. Project admins can easily create accounts for mobile players.


Create

The directors in your project create and publish scenes. This is a simple 5-step process.

Genre
Choose a genre for your scene from the range of available formats: from role playing games to interactive stories.

Details
Fill in your scene details. Give your scene an icon, a name, a short description, some optional background info. The instructions, intro and outro you are used when you play the scene on your phone.

Gameplay
Set up the rules for your scene. Set play time, add a web-player, configure specific game elements.

Map
Choose your map and add places to your scene by dragging and dropping notes, videos, sounds, photos, tasks and game objects onto the map.

Publish
The final step. Not satisfied yet? Save your scene in 'draft' mode and keep on testing. Proud? Make your scene 'public' and even create special events for specific groups of people. Don't want anybody to play the scene any longer? Set the scene to 'closed'.


Play

Mobile users download the 7scenes software from out mobile website and log in with their account, that they can request or that you hand out. 7scenes shows them the scenes around them and the events they are invited for.

In a scene they can:

Navigate
See yourself and others moving live on a map. Discover where the places in your scene are located.

Interact with places
When you're at a place your mobile phone will show you what's hidden: a note, a video, a sound, a photo, a task for you to do or a game object you can use later on.

Interact with others

You can send short messages to get in touch. In specific games you can have interaction based on being near others - like virtual trading or fights and you can even collaborate with web-based players that can be on your team.

Leave notes and upload photos
When you're playing a scene you can leave notes and  upload photos at anytime. They are linked to the location from where you send them and stored for later.

Live stats
While playing you can always check your progress - what have you done so far? What is my score and that of others? How many places still to go?

Share

Scenes
All scene have their own page where you can learn what it's about and where it's located, you can schedule events, follow users live, play back traces and read & leave your comments.

Go Public
When you create a scene, be generous and let others enjoy your work too. You'd be suprised what the feedback will be!

Share your traces
All user traces and interaction are stored and can be played back from the web. For you to see but also for others.

Share your location Live
How you and others enjoy scenes can be seen live on the web (if you agree of course). See people move on the map, interact, upload photos and more.
