What is it?

The Predictor Card is a game that requires users to correctly predict a series of outcomes based on a real-life event such as a sports game, reality TV show, or awards night. 

There are two different kinds of the Predictor Card:

Basic: Users get predictions either right or wrong and the winner is typically drawn from those who got the most predictions correct.

Advanced: Each question has a different allocation of points based on previous responses to that prompt. The person who finishes with the most points when the competition closes is the winner.

Note: This article will focus on building the advanced version of the Live Predictor card. To create a basic version of the Live Predictor card click here.

Step 4: Create a Segment 

A segment simply refers to a portion of your event/events. e.g. for a sports game, a segment may be an individual quarter or if you're running a season-long competition an individual game. For a  reality TV show, one segment may be one episode. How you chose to break down your Live Predictor card is entirely up to you!
  • (1) Here you will need to name the segment. For instance, if you're separating the segments by quarters you would name the segment "1st Quarter".
  • (2) This eye marks whether or not this segment is visible to front-end users. Currently, it has a strike through it meaning this segment is currently hidden from users. Unmark this when you're ready to push a segment live.
  • (3) By clicking on this icon you will be able to schedule the opening and closing times of this segment.
    Note: You will first need to add a question to the segment in order to use this feature.
  • (4) This option allows you to add a communication associated with this segment. You can use this feature to notify users that a new segment has now opened.  
  • (5) By clicking on the three dots you will have the option to archive and delete segments.
  • (6) By clicking the plus icon you can then choose what question type you'd like to add to the segment.
  • (7) This option adds a multiple-choice-based question to your segment.

  • (A) Write in your question here, ie: Which player will have the most disposals in the first quarter?
  • (B) Here you can fill out your potential answers. If you'd like to you can turn this multi-choice question into a quiz question by selecting the tick icon next to the correct answer. Otherwise, you will come here following the segment finishing and nominate the correct answer.

  • (D) Clicking here will allow you to change the colours of the CTA bar.

  • (F) Toggling this on will allow you to add a cover image to the multi-choice question.

  • (J) Here you can alter the starting point allocation for each of the different responses, Eg. By setting an answer at 80% it will provide 2,000 pts. You may decide to do this if you want to lower the awarded points by selecting the favourite. Once your card goes live, these point allocations will automatically fluctuate based on user responses. 
  • (K) Here you will also find the option to add a sponsor tag, an option that can be used to brand your question. 
  • (L) Scrolling down you will find the option to configure the initial response count in relation to the initial responses score. This will automatically be set as 10 so that the first 10 responses will use the initial responses score before fluctuating based on user responses.

    • Used survey and market research questions to gain insights and user-generated social media content.
    • Created personalised communications for your market research questions.
    • Each segment is clearly labelled based on your event e.g. for an AFL match it will be "Round 1 Melbourne vs Adelaide Crows".
    • Make sure you have the eye icon marked as visible so your audience is able to see what segments you have ready or available. You can learn more about it here.
    • You have scheduled the segment to open and close, if you know the start and end date and time of your event. This is so you won't need forget or need to close the segment manually before your event is live.

    FAQ

    What's the difference between a Basic and Advanced Live Predictor card?

    With the basic version of the card you will simply nominate a correct answer based on the event's outcome. However, with the advanced version there is a point allocation element that may encourage users to make strategic predictions.

     

    What does a segment refer to?

    A segment simply refers to a portion of your event/events. For a sports game a segment may be an individual quarter or if you're running a season long competition an individual game. For a  reality TV show, one segment may be one episode. how you chose to break down your Live Predictor card is entirely up to you. 

     

    Top tips

    • If you have multiple segments, it is recommended to have at least 3 questions in each segment. If you have just one segment, look at having a minimum of 5 questions for maximum engagement.
    • Include at least one survey and/or slider question. Allowing your audience to answer questions in different ways makes things interesting instead of voting on multi-choice questions.

    Group 1583

    • Alter the point allocations for multi-choice questions. Make things interesting by allocating more points to the least favourite option and get people thinking about who/what to vote on!
    • Make use of the Live prize awarding. Reward your audience instantly throughout your event for them to use the prize in-venue/straight away!
      • Make sure to enable Live prize-awarding. You can do this by clicking the ... icon next to the prize and selecting Enable prize awarding.
    • You can create quiz types of questions in your game. In your multi-choice question, click on the Tick icon located next to the answers to select the correct answer.

    CleanShot 2023-06-07 at 11.27.13

    • Remember to close segments as particular games or events end. You can manually close segments or schedule them to close on a certain day and time. This is to prevent users from predicting questions that have already occurred.

    CleanShot 2023-06-07 at 11.29.32

    • You can only publish a segment to go live once! If you have a segment scheduled, double-check the date and time it is scheduled to publish, and if you are to publish it manually, make sure you are 100% sure you want to push it live. If you close a segment you accidentally pushed live, you will need to recreate that segment and push it live again at the right time.
    • Display your prizes with the top/first prize on top and the other prizes below. This is so users know the grand prize they could potentially win when they play.
      • Name each prize by rank e.g. 1st Prize - Tickets to the Finals, 2nd Prize - Gift Voucher etc. Include in the prize description how to win that prize e.g. Rank 1st, reach 10,000 points, everyone who enters etc.
