We've made some small updates to the settings pages today. Along with various small tweaks to make them easier to use we've added settings to change the colors used in the Buzzshot app. You can tweak your color settings here. This customisation has been available on request for a while, but now you can do it yourself. Just remember to always log out and log back in to the app after updating these settings.
Now usable without booking integration
The best way to use touchless registration is still in conjunction with booking integration, that way teams get automatically created ahead when they book. However, if you don't use booking software that integrates with Buzzshot, or if you'd just prefer not to use the integration, then we now have a solution. You can add "time slots" at https://buzzshot.co/admin/settings/timeslots/ and we will show games for those times whether or not they currently exist as groups in the Buzzshot system.
"Register Another Player"
As a small usability enhancement we have added a "Register Another Player" button after a player registers themselves. This is helpful if multiple players are sharing a mobile device and means they don't have to scan the QR code again.
Pending Groups Page
This feature has existed for a while so it may not be new to you. I've now switched on the "Pending Groups Page" for everyone, this page (in the admin) allows you to view all your pending groups and shows who has registered and who has signed.
The COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic is effecting a lot of Escape Room businesses. Some have completely closed until further notice. Others are suffering lower booking numbers and higher rates of cancellation.
The Buzzshot team wish to support you.
If your business has had to shut down temporarily do let us know and we can suspend/pause your subscription for a period (either for a month now or later on once you have an understanding of your developing situation). Just tell us exactly what would help you.
If you are not shut down but are expecting lower numbers of players then let us know. You could switch yourself to a lower plan, or we could give a temporary discount. Just talk to us.
Don’t worry if you don’t know right now, this offer will remain open as long as needed.

We've added a new self service settings page to help you configure how Buzzshot posts your team photos to Facebook. You can read more about it on our support site here.
You can edit the captions Buzzshot adds to your photos when uploading them. You can even supply multiple captions and have Buzzshot randomly choose one for each photo!
A little while ago we added the ability to create multiple user logins with access to your Buzzshot account. This allows you to create a different login for each staff member. We have now added the ability to deny access to the settings pages for some of these user logins. This allows you to give a staff member access to the web admin pages without worrying that they'll change any settings!
Head to the Users settings page to try it out.
Got any questions or feedback? Let us know at support@buzzshot.co!
Buzzshot sends emails on your behalf including most importantly your after game "Thanks for playing". We do everything we can to avoid these emails ending up in the player's spam folders. But now, with your help, we can do even better! If you verify your domain with Buzzshot it will make the emails we send for you appear much more trust worthy to other email servers. It just requires a couple of custom DNS entries for your domain (don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds and we're here to help if you need it!)
If you ever have any questions, feedback or issues with Buzzshot we always welcome you to get in touch and ask. But we've now added a self service option as well. Click on the "Support" link in the menu in the Admin and you'll get a sidebar with helpful articles about Buzzshot and a search box to find what you want. We're going to be adding more and more articles going forward covering everything from basic usage questions up to hints and tips for how to get the most out of Buzzshot.
Let us know what you think!
We've added a new settings page to allow you to create and edit user accounts for your staff. This allows you to give different usernames and passwords to different staff members and to create logins that can only be used on the app.
We've added a new settings page to allow editing of photo overlays for rooms in the Buzzshot software. This will allow you to choose how your photos will look and to upload your own graphics.
There's still more to do on it, so if you can't achieve the look you're going for then do get in touch a support@buzzshot.co and we'll set it up for you.
We’ll be publishing a new version of the app to the App Store and the Play Store next week. This has a bunch of little tweaks and improvements as well as a lot more options for customization. If you’d like to get an early look at the new and improved version you can but upgrading to the Beta channel. Details on how to do that are here: https://buzzshot.co/support/article/beta-upgrade/
Any feedback or anything you’d like to see in the next version please do let us know at support@buzzshot.co
