Live Monitoring

Watch players progress through your hunt in real-time

What is Live Monitoring?

Live monitoring lets you watch player activity as it happens. See who has joined, which clues they've solved, and how far along each player or team is.

Accessing the Monitor

  1. Open your published hunt
  2. Click "Monitor" or "Live Dashboard"
  3. The monitoring view opens with real-time data
