Competition High Score Module

The High Score module allows you to create a time-limited competition where players can compete for top score and win prizes in the game center. High Score is a great way to boost engagement and competitiveness amongst players.

 

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 High Score Module

  1. Click on 'Add Module' and select 'Competition - High Score' 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. A hidden module can still collect data. You can enable visibility by toggling it on manually or setting a visibility start/end date. 

  4. Set up 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 the Score type you want for the leaderboard. There are two types to pick from:

    • Best score - displays the highest score a player has reached in the selected games.

    • Accumulated score - displays the accumulated scores of all the selected games and displays them as one score on the leaderboard. 

  7. Edit the leaderboard style and what you want to show to the players in the game center.

  8. Select games to be included in the competition. Note that different games have different score systems. 

  9. (optional) Enable a leaderboard popup and edit the leaderboard that will show in the popup. Its a good way to show more players because of the limited space on the game center front page. 

  10. 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 High Score, the winners are determined by the leaderboard position.

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.
