  3. Enter your name and email address to create an account to track your progress.

  4. Answer a question about the exhibitor’s business. Many questions will be discovered as you talk with an exhibitor’s representatives, but you may be able to find some answers by simply exploring their booth.

  5. Move on to the next exhibitor on the list and repeat the Scavenger Hunt process.

As you work your way through the scavenger hunt, you can share your progress on social media using the social share buttons from the app. Challenge your genealogy buddies and race to see who can finish first!

Once you’ve visited each of the 9 participating businesses you will be entered to win one of 10 grand prizes!

After answering a question correctly, some exhibitors will offer you instant rewards on the correct answer screen. Depending on the type of reward, you’ll also receive an email. If you want to access the Instant Reward again, simply re-scan the QR code for their booth and it’ll pop right back up.

No Need to Be Present To Win: The GBA.BUZZ Giveaway prizes will be awarded after the conference. An email will be sent to all participants from Family ChartMasters on August 28th announcing the winners. Winners will be contacted by the companies after the drawing. Exchange of prizes will be the responsibility of those individual companies.
