Making an announcement

Create announcements so participants see time-bound messages during the event.

How to create one​

  1. In the world control panel, open the Announcements tab.
  2. Create a new announcement.
  3. Set the Announcement message.
  4. Set the Announcement period:
    • Start time - When the message becomes visible.
    • End time - When the message stops being visible.
  5. Save the announcement.

After saving, the announcement appears to participants when the current time is within that window. Use them for important notices, countdowns, or rule changes without leaving the platform.

Editing and removing​

  • Edit an announcement when the message or timing changes.
  • Delete an announcement if it should not appear again.
  • For many announcements, use CSV import/export from the Announcements tab so you can prepare or review schedules outside the UI.

Writing tips​

  • Keep each announcement focused on one action or update.
  • Include exact times if the message is about a schedule change.
  • Use clear language when clarifying a challenge so you do not accidentally reveal the answer.
  • Schedule reminders ahead of time for known milestones, such as start, lunch break, final hour, and event close.
  • Avoid using announcements for private support or individual team issues; contact affected teams directly when the message is not for everyone.
