Field Trips Students Remember, and Teachers Can See

LiveFyz Waypoint turns a field trip at a zoo, museum or science center into a live scavenger hunt. Student groups explore with a map and a question at every stop, while teachers follow every group in real time.

Teacher dashboard — example
Every group on one screen: where they are, how long they’ve been there, and how they answered.
How It Works

Every Stop Is a Small Mission

Groups of about four students share one phone, usually the chaperone’s. Each student signs in with a school ID number, never a full name.

1

Solve the clue

The answer to a riddle is the next exhibit to visit.

2

Find the way

A map shows “You are here” and a star on the next stop.

3

Look closely

A short timed look at the animals or artwork, with things to notice.

4

Answer

Then the question appears. Students take turns answering.

Groups are spread out automatically. Each one gets its next stop the moment it finishes, steering away from exhibits where other groups already are, so nobody crowds the same exhibit.

Features

Built for Teachers, and for the Venue

One trip gives teachers a clear picture of the day, and gives the venue honest feedback on every exhibit.

For teachers

Live dashboard
  • A live map of every group, with how long each has been at its stop.
  • Alerts when a group stops making progress.
  • Message groups from the dashboard: one group or everyone.
  • Results by exhibit, class and student, ready to download.
  • What groups noticed: a class summary of the observation questions, ready for the next lesson.

For the venue

Admin screen
  • Schools, trips and rosters set up in one place, with a roster template to upload.
  • Open and close exhibits for the day. Groups heading to a closed exhibit are sent somewhere else right away.
  • “Help the venue” feedback: a quick rating and “Could you see the animals?” after each stop.
  • End-of-trip questions about what to add next and what would make visits better.
  • Your own map, stops and questions, written with your education team.
Question Types

More Than Multiple Choice

Each stop has one scored question, plus optional extras. The question only appears after the group has looked, so nobody can search for the answer on the way.

Multiple choice

Four answers, shuffled for each group.

Put it in order

A life cycle or a timeline, by tapping steps in order. Partial credit counts.

Sign code word

A word printed on the exhibit sign. It proves the group read it.

Connected questions

Links two stops a group has visited: “You saw reptiles warming under heat lamps. How does the polar bear stay warm?”

Observation

“What were most of the elephants doing?” Not scored: it’s for class discussion.

Help the venue

Optional ratings for each exhibit, answered by the group, never by individual students.
