Do y'all sign in at the call board? When I was SMing a show in college, I'd tape a riddle or some ridiculous question, and the first person to come up to me with the answer got a dollar, or a pencil, in one case I think I even bought someone dinner. Anyway, everyone always got there on time so that they could get a head start on the answer (we were an intensely competitive company). Perhaps having something that's quick, fun, and creative would make them want to be on time.
