The Mission Call Guessing Game That Keeps Everyone Connected
Guess where your missionary is going — then stay connected for the whole mission. No email lists to manage. Just one tap.
Everyone Wants to Guess #
The moment someone you love submits their missionary papers, the question starts bouncing around every family group chat, Sunday dinner, and ward hallway: "Where do you think they're going?"
It's one of the most exciting moments in a missionary family's journey. Grandparents text their guesses. Friends have strong opinions. Someone's always convinced it's Japan. The energy is real — and until now, there wasn't a great way to capture it.
Pday's mission call guessing game turns that excitement into something everyone can participate in together — and it does something more important than picking a winner.
Tap a country or US state to place your guess. See where everyone else thinks the missionary is headed.
How It Works #
Once a missionary submits their papers, the guessing game opens in Pday. Everyone following that missionary can jump in.
- Open the map. You'll see an interactive world map with every country and US state highlighted.
- Tap a region. Pick the country or state you think they'll be called to. You'll see how many missions are inside — and which ones.
- Place your guess. Your profile photo lands on the map so everyone can see where you picked.
- Wait for the call. When the mission call is opened, you find out who got it right.
Tap any region to see how many missions are inside before you guess.
You Guess a Region, Not a Mission #
Nobody says "I think she's going to the Argentina Buenos Aires East Mission." People say "I think she's going to Argentina."
The guessing game matches how people actually think. You pick a country or a US state. If the missionary is called to any mission in that region, you win. Argentina has 14 missions. Utah has 12. Brazil has 40. More chances to be right means more people win — and more winners means more fun.
Tap the profile photos on the map to see who guessed what. After the call, see who got it right.
The Real Magic: Everyone Stays Connected #
Here's the thing about the guessing game that matters most: it brings people into Pday before the mission even starts.
The guessing game is the onramp
Every friend, cousin, ward member, and seminary teacher who joins Pday to place a guess is now automatically connected to the missionary for the entire mission. When the weekly emails start coming, they get the updates. The highlights. The photos. The timeline. No one has to manage a distribution list. No one has to forward emails. It just works.
Think about how missionary email distribution usually works: Mom gets the email, forwards it to a list she manually maintains, and hopes everyone on the list actually opens it. People fall off. New people don't know how to get added. It's a mess.
With Pday, the guessing game solves this before it even becomes a problem. Grandma downloaded the app to guess Peru. Now she gets every weekly update, automatically, for two years. Uncle Steve joined to guess Texas. Now he's reading mission emails he never would have seen. The game is fun for a day. The connection lasts the whole mission.
After the guessing game, everyone who joined stays connected to weekly email updates, highlights, and the mission timeline.
