A Search for Gather Creators

(Nov 2021) **A bit over a month ago we started testing Gather Explore, a way for Gather users to have a central place to share their creations. We've always known our users were creative, but previously all of the creativity was only visible via screenshots or privately shared links.

It has been awesome to see the different kinds of Spaces users have come up with, and we want to stay on this road of supporting users that want to become true "Gather Creators."

One of the things we are doing is a Space creation contest. This will be a bit of an experiment for future plans, so please bear with us, and read on! 😌

Focus on Experiences, Interactions, & Experiments

We’ve seen some awesome Maps shared on Twitter for our #GatherRound contest! However, this contest is distinctly different from a regular Map contest. We want to see the ways you design and provide amazing interactive experiences to users.

We want to see how far the current tools can be pushed in regards to providing amazing interactive experiences to users.

For example, Portal tiles were originally made to allow users to move between Rooms and Spaces. Now they are also used by dozens of escape room makers to build complex puzzles with the wrong routes and answers sending you back to the start.

Similar to that are the Active Image and Prompt Message fields, which have been used to create chat bubbles and changes in the Map when users approach them.
