Tactical Map Quiz / Game
Idea
A tactical map quiz/game feature for Range Day Pro, focused on co-operative wargaming scenarios. Users create or import custom maps of real-world locations (churches, close-quarter buildings, commercial spaces, etc.) and run tactical exercises on them — quizzing participants on positioning, movement, entry points, cover, fields of fire, and coordination.
Key concepts:
- Custom maps — upload or sketch floorplans/overhead views of real locations
- QR code join — participants scan a QR code to join a session from native apps or the web app
- Co-operative wargaming — multi-person scenarios where teams coordinate roles and movements on the map
- Large operations — support for multi-team, multi-building scenarios with phased execution
- Quiz mode — pose tactical questions against a map (e.g., “mark your entry points”, “identify cover positions”) and score responses
- Close-quarter focus — room clearing, hallway movement, stacking, CQB drills
Motivation
- Extends RDP beyond live-fire scoring into tactical planning and team coordination
- Valuable for church security teams, LE, and organized training groups who drill on specific locations
- Low barrier to entry — no ammo, no range, just a phone and a map
- QR code sessions make it easy to spin up at a class or team meeting
- Bridges the gap between classroom tactics discussion and live rehearsal
Open Questions
- What map formats to support? Image upload, simple built-in sketch tool, or integration with existing floorplan tools?
- How much real-time collaboration is needed vs. async quiz/review?
- Should maps/scenarios be shareable across organizations or kept private?
- Scoring model — how do you objectively score tactical decisions?
- Does this live in the main RDP app or as a separate module/feature gate?
- How does this interact with the offline-first sync model? Large map assets could be heavy.
- Any OPSEC concerns with users uploading real building floorplans to a cloud service?
