  11. 5 Key Tips to QR Code Treasure Hunts 1. Make sure students are arranged into teams prior to the activity so that students without mobile devices are not disadvantaged. 2. Make it clear that the Treasure Hunt will feed directly into their assignment and thereby help them get a good mark. 3. Provide a mix of questions - some that test existing knowledge, some that require further research. 4. Keep a record of where you place each code to remove after the exercise has finished. 5. When you mark the completed sheets, award one point for each correctly copied question, and one mark for each correct answer, and declare the winning team on this basis.
