Game Status

The Game Status defines whether a game should be considered active or not. The status can be toggled between the following statuses:

Active: This means that the game counts as an active Game link. This is especially significant for One Game licenses which only allow one active game link at a time. Games also need to be active to work in Gamification scenarios and/or to send payloads if added to webhooks. 

Draft: The game is currently only a draft and will be populated with banners notifying you that the Game is still in draft mode. It is not counted as an active game link.

Expired: This status will automatically appear if a Game has been populated with specific start and end dates. Once the Game passes the end date, the Game Status is changed to Expired by the system.


 

Split game

Turning this feature on will give you the possibility to split your Game, meaning you could have e.g. 4 competitions during a month to run weekly competitions with your Game URL.

Views

The Views feature enables you to create custom text boxes that you can connect to a desired URL. You will also have the opportunity to decide if you want the boxes to be visible before a user has played a game round, or after. This feature most resembles a classic Call To Action button which can be found amongst other online platforms and media.

  2. Select if you want the Views to be displayed before the game starts, or after the player has played a game round. 

  3. Add text, an optional URL link, and style to your view

  4. (optional) Add more views by clicking the + add view button, when doing this make sure to change the Top value in styling so that the views don’t overlap with each other.

 


Challenge

The challenge function enables you to trigger an event upon a player reaching a certain score. This is the most commonly used functionality when setting up competitions in Flarie Studio Games. This feature can trigger different types of events based on the settings you choose. 


How to set up a challenge in game

You can set up a challenge in Game by activating the challenge-setting 

  1. In the selected Game, navigate to Game Settings → Challenge and activate Challenge.

  2. (optional) Set a target score for your Challenge to encourage your players to play more of the Game. Don’t forget to edit your text to fit your Game. If you are unsure of what Game Score to set, we suggest playing the Game a few times to get an idea of what a good limit would be. If you need suggestions, do not hesitate to contact us for some guidance.

The User Base functionality is used to enable the collection of different forms of personal data/user data.

A unique identifier is required to use some functionality such as Prizes and Winners.

URL Parameter: With this option, you can add player information to the game URL. Add the desired parameters below and append them to your URL. Example:https://your-game-url.com?{parameter}={your_value}.This functionality also allows you to collect multiple parameters of data from the users before they can access the game. There are several different parameters available in the “+Add Parameters”-popup

Select whether you want the parameter to be based on User input through a Form, or a URL parameter, which will be appended to your Game URL. 

 

 

If you have selected “User Input”, make sure you add a descriptive name in the Input Field Text so that the player can easily understand what information to provide.
