Spotlight Events are our single-opener mode intended to celebrate a guest of honor. You can read more about Spotlight Mode here.
Spotlight Events are currently only available with the purchase of a Culture Plan. To create a Spotlight Event, follow these steps:
- Click the "Create Spotlight Event" button on your dashboard
- Fill out your event details in the pop-up; the name of the person you're celebrating as well as an event name are required. Note that if you add your guest of honor's email address here they won't receive any notifications regarding the event; they will only receive an end of game summary once the game has been completed)
- You can also select a Background image by navigating to the "Background" tab; note that the available options change based on the Occassion type selected on the "Event Details" tab
- Click Create Game button
- Once your event is created you can invite participants, have everyone submit gifts (or you can submit gifts on their behalf) and manage your event if you need to adjust any details before the big day. [Note that we do not recommend inviting the Guest of Honor to the event since they won't be submitting a gift for themselves.]
- On the day of your event, Click the Start Celebration button on your Event Screen and follow the checkin process to start your event.
- Once you start the event, the guest of honor is the only one opening gifts. As with our traditional White Elephant Game, the game lead will be the one to actually click on the screen and open the gifts during play.
- After the event is complete, everyone will receive an email prompting them to purchase their gift, and your Guest of Honor will receive a summary email of all the gifts they got (as long as you added their email address on the Event Details tab)
