'''3.Question: Is there a maximum of existing kiosks I can use for my event?'''

'''Answer:''' While there is technically no maximum of kiosks you can use for your event, we recommend only using kiosks that are relevant to your event. The longer the list of kiosks is, the less likely the ones at the bottom will be visited. Therefore, we suggest keeping the list under 15 kiosks.
