EASTER IS COMING...

When referring to the Easter season, we can not fail to mention the egg hunt game.

The egg hunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial ones filled with chocolate candies in various sizes, are hidden for children to find indoors and outdoors.

What could be more wonderful when you can enjoy with family, friends and your children during this Easter with an egg hunt on Seek&Spot app. You can freely create hints and make the game become more interesting with tasks to lead the players to positions having the hidden eggs. Content of the hints and tasks can be based on the historical story of Easter. From there, children can have fun as well as learning with Seek&Spot app.

When the hunt is over, prizes may be given to the one who has  the largest number of eggs collected. Real eggs may further be used in egg tapping contests.

Note: Make sure that Eggs are placed with varying degree of concealment, to accommodate children of varying ages.

5 WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR SMARTPHONE FROM MALWARE

In the U.S. mobile malware rates jumped 75 percent in 2014 from 2013, according to a report published Thursday by the mobile security firm Lookout. (The report, which was based on the firm's 60 million users, reflects the number of devices that were attacked, but not infected because they had installed anti-virus software protection.)

Now that we’ve identified the causes and challenges associated with mobile malware, how do you prevent it? By taking back control of your mobile devices and their applications.

Here are 5 ways for securing your mobile users and preventing mobile malware infections. 

1. Protect Your Phone with a Password

It's a simple thing to do, yet so many don't. Using a password is the easiest thing you can do to protect your phone from spying eyes. Having a strong password with several characters and even capitalized letters should be a number one priority. Having a simple password makes it easy for hackers to quickly access and steal your information. In addition, smartphone users are making it simple for thieves by staying signed in to their online bank accounts, social networks and other applications that store personal data. When you are finished accessing your personal accounts online, make sure to log out. This is particularly important if you are using online banking. 

2. Research apps before you download them

You should only permit the installation of apps from trusted sources, such as Google Play and Apple App Store. Also, the developers' names, "Kingmall2010" and "we20090202" among them, are dead giveaways. Clearly these guys aren't on the up and up. So be careful before you download; if it's not a company you recognize, do some research before letting that app live on your phone. Check out the ratings and reviews, and look at the app's permissions very closely— For example, there's no reason for a wallpaper app to have access to your personal data. 

3. Don't View Sensitive Information on Public Wi-Fi

We have all experienced the joys and the benefits of free, public Wi-Fi, but unfortunately there are several drawbacks that come along with this convenient aid. On a public Wi-Fi connection, it is easy for someone to hack into your data. Many public Wi-Fi areas are not encrypted and are prime targets for hackers to access information on your computer or smartphone. If you are accessing any type of personal information such as your bank account, social network pages or even email accounts, be cautious. If possible, avoid any type of webpage or application that can identify you. 

4. Don’t jailbreak/root your phone

To “jailbreak” or to “root” means to gain full access to the operating system and features. This also means breaking the security model and allowing all apps, including malicious ones, to access the data owned by other applications. You should consider the needs and abilities before deciding to do this. 

5. Install a Mobile Security App

If you're already doing numbers 1-4 on this list, you probably don't really need to take this extra step. After all, mobile OSes are inherently more secure than their PC analogues, and apps are more isolated from each other. However, installing a security app (from a trusted source, of course) can't hurt, the apps are often free, and there can be extra benefits as well. For example, remote locking and wiping if your smartphone lost or stolen, automatically saves the last location of your device before it runs out of battery, get an email with a photo and location when your device is in wrong hands, protect yourself from risky app and prying eyes, and Wi-fi and web safety,...

7 TIPS FOR A HOLIDAY PARTY

The holidays are near, it’s time to start planning. Entrepreneurs can host a holiday party to fortify their company culture, boost employee morale and increase brand awareness in the community.

We give "7 Tips for a Holiday Party" that everybody will love. Of course, we sure that you can afford to do it.

1. Use tech tools to plan

Scavenger Hunts and Treasure Hunt games can be a great way to make your teams develop skills in working together and how to solve problems together. There is nothing like a bit of competition between teams to win a game and simulate team problem solving situations. The games can be quick ones what only run for an hour or longer ones.

You can use Seek&Spot app to get the team involved in planning, use the app to create, assign, and comment on tasks.

 

Seek&Spot app

Last, but not least, use social media to advertise the event and invite guests. Make announcements in professional groups on LinkedIn and Facebook.

2. Theme your party

Choose a unique theme to entice invitees to attend. Brand the party with a theme from a well-known movie or a recent pop-culture phenomenon. Examples of unique themes are The Nightmare Before Christmas, Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, or A Christmas Story.

Once a theme is chosen, be sure to go all out with it. Don’t do anything halfway. In addition, with Seek&Spot, you could customize InfoSpot pages with your colours, information and logo.

3. Cater outside the box

Most holiday parties provide the same food every year -- cookies, cakes, pigs in a blanket, chips, etc. Take a diversion from typical holiday party fare and provide exotic food from different parts of the world. Bring in Thai chicken satay skewers or Japanese gyoza dumplings to get everyone’s attention.

This is a great way for a company to show its appreciation for diversity to other industry professionals, potential candidates or potential clients who may attend.

4. Give back to the community

As an alternative to the typical holiday party, use the party budget to give back. Get the whole team involved in a fundraising project. Sponsor a needy family, host a performance at a retirement community or volunteer at an animal shelter.

Opportunities for businesses to get involved in the community are virtually endless, and it reflects well on the company culture.

5. Take the party out of the office

Businesses with small teams can take advantage of their mobility by traveling to a retreat or conference in place of hosting a traditional office party.

As we said, the scavenger hunt games can be run longer where different tasks are opened for example on a daily basis for one week.

For example, small startup teams can go snowboarding in Colorado. Tech companies can let employees geek out a tech convention, such as the 2014 Wearable Tech Conference.

6. Run holiday promotions for both customers and employees

Retail stores aren’t the only businesses that can run holiday promotions. Small businesses can offer discounted services as part of a “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday” sale. Host a prize drawing, such as a “Twelve Days of Prizes” where clients can enter to win a free small product or service that might inspire them to purchase more.

Hyper-local ads is combined QR code scanning in Seek&Spot app to verify the location and coupons hunt games, the business will be more promoted.

Don’t forget employees! Within the office, host a drawing employees can enter to win gift cards and other goods to help make their own holidays merry and bright.

7. Turn the office into the dance floor or stage

What better way for employees to show their out-of-office talents than to give them a microphone and a stage? Host a karaoke party or turn the office into a dance floor so employees can blow off some steam.
