Hello Holly,
Hope you are doing well!
Attendee Hub doesn't currently support true @mentions or hashtag-style tagging in either Games or Discussions/Chat.
In Discussions and session/exhibitor chats, attendees can post messages, reply in threads, react, and upload images in a chat-style format. However, typing a name or using something like @topic is treated as plain text-it won't link to a profile, notify the person, or create a trackable tag.
For Gamification, challenges are tied to specific actions (such as posting in a discussion, uploading a photo, joining a session, scanning a QR code, or answering polls), not interactions like tagging other attendees.
Workaround:
You can create a dedicated discussion for shout-outs (for example, a "Recognition Wall") and set up a Game challenge like "Post a recognition message in the Recognition Wall discussion," allowing participants to earn points for engaging.
Let me know if this helps. Thank you!
Regards,
