A Future without Homelessness - Privacy and Consent

About ‘A Future without Homelessness’ virtual challenge

Crisis works together with virtual events and gaming company Wildgoose Events Ltd to create supporter experiences for the 21st century. 'A Future without Homelessness' is designed to help young people understand more about homelessness through interactive content, including multiple choice questions, photo and video challenges.

The game will be available in three versions for you and your family to choose from (if you have multiple devices, such as smartphones or tablets, you can have different games running on each): 

• Georgia’s story (for children aged 6 - 11) 
• Daniel’s story (for children aged 6 – 11) 
• Young adult edition (ages 12 - 18) 

Content has been carefully selected by Crisis staff to introduce young people to the subject in a thought-provoking and age-appropriate format. For queries concerning the content or format of the game, please get in touch with the event lead at ella.dinsdale@crisis.org.uk.

What kind of content will my family and I create during the challenge?

After downloading the ‘Mobile Adventures’ app (please do so 24 hours in advance of the game) to your Smartphone or tablet and scanning one of the QR codes listed on the event page, the game will load and will ask you to take a ‘Team photo’ and write a ‘Team name’. You are not obliged to take photos of yourself or your family or use your real names.

The challenge is split into 5 different hotspots, each of which contain 3 tasks. These tasks are not mandatory and range from photo and video challenges, where players are asked to record video clips or take photos of themselves completing the task, to multiple choice and free text questions, where players select or write their answer to a quiz question.

You are not obliged to complete any task that you do not feel comfortable doing: however, participating in as many tasks as possible will increase the quality of your experience.

How will Wildgoose Events Ltd use/store my data?

At the end of the challenge (once all hotspots have been accessed and tasks completed) a message will appear asking for your consent for answers, photos and videos that you have created in the game to be shared with Crisis, Wildgoose and the other players through the game slideshow (a compendium of content produced throughout the game which is shared with the Crisis lead via a link and is downloadable).

You are not obliged to give your consent. Consent must be given by a guardian of at least 18 years of age.
