By submitting photos, participants grant the Visitors Bureau of Highland County permission to use them for website, publication, and social media purposes.

Complete missions at your own pace, as there is no incentive for finishing all of them first, or even for finishing all of them. However, there is a leaderboard to show where you rank compared to everyone else, if competition is your thing.

Please note: For GPS-based missions, the location services on your phone need to be enabled for the Goosechase app.

Each mission includes instructions on how to complete it and also indicates if a specific prize drawing is attached to that mission. 

We know there are a lot of missions, but you can utilize the search function on the mission list by tapping the magnifying glass in the top right corner.
