# Live Predictor (Advanced)
> Ask predictor questions and reveal the correct answers in real-time. Reward players for returning and engaging.
## What is it?
The Live Predictor 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**](/live-predictor-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.
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](/interactive-features/games/live-predictor-card-basic).
## How do I build one?
### Step 1: Add a Live Predictor to your Hub
* Navigate to your **Engagement Hub**.
* Once there, click the **Plus icon,** select **Games** and then **Live** **Predictor.**
* Add an internal name and select **Advanced** as your style. Following this click **Add**.
* You will then see your new card has been added to your Hub.
### Step 2: Add a Cover image
* Clicking on the **Live Predictor** will open the editing module.

Unlike other cards the Live Predictor card comes with a data capture already added, you will just be required to finish setting it up. For a guide on how to do this check out our article below.
### Step 4: [Create ](/getting-started/hub-setup/data-capture/index)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 choose 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.

* **(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.

* **(A)** Write in your **question** here, ie: Which player will have the most disposals in the first quarter?

## 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.
* Alter the point allocations for multi-choice questions. Make things interesting by allocating more points to the least favorite option and get people thinking about who/what to vote on!
* Alter the point allocations for multi-choice questions. Make things interesting by allocating more points to the least favorite 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.
* 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.
* 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.
