How it works
1. Find a checkpoint
Every Imua event, program site and volunteer shift is a checkpoint with its own QR code. Ten more are hidden at places from Imua’s history around Maui.
2. Scan it
Open your phone’s camera and point it at the code. No app needed. Some stops take a photo instead.
3. Earn Mana Points
Every check-in adds to your total and your ʻohana team’s. Find all 11 map checkpoints, keep showing up all year, and climb the live leaderboard.
Mana Points
Mana is the Hawaiian concept of spiritual power and energy. Every action in the game builds shared strength for Imua’s community, not just a number on a scoreboard. Points reward showing up, learning and giving time, never spending money.
- Show upBase points for scanning in at an event, program or activity.
- VolunteerHigher, time-weighted points for logged volunteer shifts.
- LearnBonus points for a history or culture challenge: trivia, a guided tour, or a site visit tied to that chapter’s decades.
- ShareSmall bonus points for posting a checkpoint with #ImuaOnward and tagging @discoverimua. Capped weekly.
- RecruitA referral bonus for bringing a new registrant into the game.
Wayfinder status unlocks at point thresholds along the way, each with its own small recognition. Team leaderboards total each ʻohana’s combined points, and an individual board runs alongside, so the game works whether you play with a crew or fly solo.
The grand prize
At the grand finale in December 2027, the individual and the team with the most Mana Points win the grand prize. To be finalized. Imua is weighing something experiential and Maui-rooted, like a weekend getaway, a locally sourced prize bundle, or a named “80th Anniversary Champion” honor with a lasting plaque at the gala.
- Top Team. Most combined Mana Points for an ʻohana or squad.
- Top Individual. Most Mana Points flying solo.
- Most Community Spirit. The most volunteer hours.
- Best Storyteller. The best social content from the year.
- Rising ʻOhana. Most improved over the year.
Play it safe and kind
Some checkpoints are at places where keiki receive services. Stay outside during service hours, never photograph other families, and only stop where it’s safe to park. The road through Kahakuloa is very narrow.
