Keeping teams, groups, and communities engaged can be challenging. Virtual events offer a flexible and interactive way to connect people. Explorer Series, a leader in organizing virtual events, is excited to introduce a new feature to their services: audio cues. This addition promises to make virtual challenges more engaging and motivating.
The Growing Importance of Virtual Challenges
Virtual challenges are events where participants can join from anywhere, at any time. They offer numerous benefits:
- Team Building: Virtual challenges help improve teamwork and communication.
- Increased Physical Activity: They encourage participants to move more, improving their health.
- Community Building: They foster a sense of belonging and connection among participants.
With more organizations recognizing these benefits, the demand for virtual challenges is growing.
How Explorer Series Enhances Virtual Events
Explorer Series offers a variety of virtual challenges, including step challenges, time challenges, and distance challenges. These events are designed to be fun and engaging, but the addition of audio cues takes them to the next level.
Introducing Audio Cues
Audio cues are pre-recorded messages that play at specific times or milestones during a virtual event. They can provide real-time feedback, motivation, and information to participants, making the experience more interactive.
How Audio Cues Work
Audio cues work by integrating with apps like the ASICS Runkeeper app. Here’s how:
- Integration: Audio cues are set up within the app and play automatically at predetermined points.
- Customization: Messages can be tailored to match the event’s theme and goals.
- Real-Time Feedback: Participants receive immediate feedback and encouragement.
For example, during a step challenge, an audio cue might say, “Great job, you’ve reached 5,000 steps!” or “Keep going, you’re halfway there!”
Examples of Virtual Events with Audio Cues
Corporate Step Challenge
A corporate step challenge is designed to promote wellness among employees. Audio cues can enhance the experience by providing:
- Milestone Updates: “You’ve hit the 10,000 steps mark! Excellent work!”
- Motivational Messages: “Keep moving, you’re doing great!”
- Health Tips: “Remember to stay hydrated while you walk!”
Nonprofit Distance Challenge
Nonprofits can use virtual distance challenges to raise funds and awareness. An example is the Great Divide challenge by Explorer Series. This event includes:
- Virtual Postcards: Participants receive digital postcards as they reach milestones.
- Virtual Badges: Earn badges for different achievements.
- Solo and Team Options: Participate alone or as part of a team.
- Multi-Activity: Walk, run, or cycle to complete the challenge.
Audio cues can provide:
- Distance Markers: “You’ve completed 10 kilometers, keep it up!”
- Donor Shout-Outs: “Thank you to our top donors for their support!”
- Inspirational Quotes: “Every step you take brings us closer to our goal!”

- Time Updates: “You’ve been active for 30 minutes, great job!”
- Local Trivia: “Did you know this area was founded in 1886?”
- Community Announcements: “Don’t forget about the farmers’ market this weekend!”
