Competition Entries Module

The Entries module allows you to create a time-limited competition where players need to gather entries for chance to win prizes in the game center. Entries are a great way to boost engagement and incentivize repeat visits.

 

Before You Start

Make sure your Game Center includes at least one Game Module with a game connected. The Entries module needs a game to track player progress.

 

How to set up a Competition Entries Module

  1. Click on 'Add Module' and select 'Competition - Entries' from the popup. 

  2. Module Status is by default set to inactive when you are ready to start collecting data for the competition, turn the module status to active. 

  3. Module visibility is by default hidden, and even when hidden, you can still have the competition active in the background of the game center. You can enable visibility by toggling it on manually or setting a visibility start/end date. 

  4. Set the desired competition periods. You can add any number of periods and they can be added in bulk or one by one. 

  5. A non-active competition period message can be activated if you have gaps in the competition periods, the message will show in the game center.

  6. Select games to include in the competition. The games need to have entries active in the individual game settings and need to be added in the game module for the game center.

  7. Edit the number of entries display window and select if you want the window to appeare above of below the pre/post entries text.

  8. Pre and Post entrie texts can be stylised to fit your game center, and it's also a good way to tell the users how to gain entries and participate. 

  9. Lastly, set up the prizes in the winner settings. You can set up multiple prizes, different types of prizes, when they should be distributed and what competition periods they should be included in. 

 

Prizes Settings

Prizes are distributed at the end of a competition period. You can select the distribution dates freely and also select the price to be included when adding a new period in the competition periods. In Entries, the winners are randomised amongst all the users who have entries, and the probability of winning is higher if the player has collected more entries during the competition period. You can set a winner limitation so that players can't win more than once, or so they can't win the same prize multiple times across all periods. 

The reward types are:Coupon code - same for everyone
Coupon code - unique for everyone
URL - same for everyone
URL - unique for everyone
None

All prizes except none are distributed to the winners directly by email.
For unique codes or URLs, make sure to upload enough for every planned winner. The codes can be uploaded per period or in a batch, where the codes will be distributed automatically as needed.
