Event — General Data

The Event tab is the first configuration tab when editing an event. It controls the event’s core settings: name, duration, location, gameplay options, visual theme, and background color. These settings determine the fundamental behavior of the event in the mobile app.

  • Duration determines the time window during which the event is active. When started, the start date is set to now and the end date to now + duration days (minimum 3 days).
  • Theme affects only the visual appearance of the participant app — it does not change any gameplay mechanics.
  • The map widget uses Google Maps with Satellite toggle and keyboard shortcuts support.
