GPS & Location Permissions

Many ReadySet experiences use real-world movement and location-based gameplay. To support checkpoints and progression, participants may need to enable GPS and location permissions on their device.

Why location permissions matter

Location access helps ReadySet:

  • Verify checkpoint visits
  • Unlock activities
  • Guide gameplay progression
  • Support map-based experiences

Some gameplay elements may not work correctly if location permissions are disabled.

Enabling location permissions

Participants should:

  • Allow location access when opening the app
  • Enable GPS/location services on their device
  • Allow accurate location if available

Both iPhone and Android devices support location permissions through system settings.

Improving GPS accuracy

GPS performance is usually better:

  • Outdoors
  • In open areas
  • Away from underground spaces
  • With stable internet access

Dense buildings or poor connectivity may temporarily affect location accuracy.

Common location issues

If checkpoints are not activating correctly:

  • Confirm GPS is enabled
  • Check internet connection
  • Restart the app
  • Move closer to the checkpoint location

If problems continue, contact the organizer or support team.
