??? "Fun, meaningful traditions provide safety, belonging, and the opportunity for memories." ? Snagged this quote from Spencer Holt’s fantastic podcast, Small Things Make a Big Difference — bite-sized episodes packed with actionable, thought-provoking insights. This episode on memories and traditions really stuck with us. Experiences create memories, and memories — especially shared ones — are more valuable and enduring than any material thing. And when these experiences are consistent and repeated, they form lasting traditions (which membership** teams naturally appreciate! ??). ? The annual visit to see the holiday lights. ?? A fall picnic at the arboretum. ?? The seasonal school field trip to the aquarium, where you get to see your favorite sea turtle. ?? Kicking off every summer at the waterpark. These experiences become touchpoints for connection and nostalgia, creating a deep emotional bond with both the place and the people who visit it. ?? The moments shared — the excitement of a child spotting her favorite animal up close. ?? The stories told — families reminiscing about “that one time” the penguin splashed them at the aquarium. ?? The traditions formed — returning every spring to explore the seasonal orchid festival. "Fun, meaningful traditions provide safety, belonging, and the opportunity for memories!" At CheQRboard, we’ve learned from the smartest minds in the industry that the most memorable guest experiences don’t just happen — they’re created with intention! ** Hit us up for a compelling case study on how we created custom scavenger hunts at one of our partner zoos ?? repeat visits ?? membership renewals.

FACT: kids freaking LOVE pushing buttons! ? ??? ?? ? First to the buttons on every elevator ride. Poppit fidget toys, remote controls, keyboards. Any button. Every button. E-V-E-R-Y button! We see you parents nodding your head. Turns out this is a universal phenomenon! But why do kids love pushing buttons so much? Research suggests: ?? CAUSE & EFFECT: Buttons create instant reactions — lights, sounds, or movement — helping kids learn how their actions shape the world ??? SENSORY DELIGHT: The tactile feel of pressing is a simple but powerful way kids explore and learn ?? CURIOSITY: Buttons lead to surprises, satisfying kids’ natural drive to discover ?? CONTROL: Pressing gives kids a sense of power and agency in their environment At Cheqrboard, we’ve found this fascination doesn’t fade with age either! Interactivity is SUCH a critical part of guest experience. In fact, lack of engagement with traditional static signage is one of the most common challenges we hear about from our attraction partners. Across our zoos, aquariums, garden and museum partners, multiple-choice trivia consistently achieves 85-90% engagement — highest amongst all of our content templates. Why? We suspect it's because it mirrors the same instincts that make kids love buttons: the curiosity to discover and learn, the control to interact, and the joy of instant feedback that makes education fun ?? Oh and if you made it down here and found this post interesting? Push the (like) button! ? ??? ?? ?? ?

"Every interaction, no matter how mundane, offers an opportunity to educate, delight, and connect!" So much of the power of this moment comes from how unexpected it was -- transform something monotonous and routine into something education and memorable!

?? NEW PARTNERSHIP: Army Aviation Museum Foundation (AAMF) ?? At CheQRboard, we're always excited by the incredible attraction venues we partner with — including the animals, plants, exhibits, or vehicles that fill these spaces. But it's the passionate people behind these venues who truly inspire our work and drive our mission forward. Special thanks to Bryant Macfarlane (Curator) and Leah Dunkle (Executive Coordinator) — visionary leaders for the US Army Aviation Museum and respective Foundation that supports. Their thoughtfulness, creativity and good humor makes every interaction a joy. We know CheQRboard works, but it works especially well with great partners! In their own words, here are the top 3 reasons the AAMF chose CheQRboard: 1. Dynamic, Interactive Content ?? CheQRboard's dynamic QR codes bring content to life with real-time updates. As Bryant put it, "A QR code that can change and morph into whatever you need, whenever you need it—that’s amazing!" 2. Accessibility & Inclusivity ?? ?They train around 40K pilots annually, with 100+ foreign families on base, and many more international families visiting for graduations. "The ability to offer multiple language translations would be HUGE for us" 3. Enhanced Guest Experience ???? Personalized tours and interactive games engage all ages. "Grandpa and his 7-year-old granddaughter can have completely different experiences in the same space." #NewPartnership #ArmyAviation #Innovation #VisitorEngagement #CheQRboard #ArmyAviationMuseum
