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: 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.

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 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".

  Note: You will first need to add a question to the segment in order to use this feature.

"Go live" checklist

Ready to go live with your Live Predictor? We recommend reviewing the following list before launching and double-checking if you have:

• All images uploaded are the correct dimensions. Export image files in 2x to ensure none of the images appear pixelated.
• Added all your questions (including imagery where possible).
• Used survey and market research questions to gain insights and user-generated social media content.
• Created personalized communications for your market research questions.
• Each segment is clearly labeled 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.
• Change the color of the question CTA bar to your brand colors.
• Hyperlinked your T&C's to the opt in-field, which is created in the data capture section of the settings tab.
• All your communications (Major Prize Winner, Minor Prize Winner, Everybody Else, Registration) are fully set up and ready to send. If you have communications scheduled for your segments, ensure these are ready to send at the correct date and time.
• If you are using coupons, make sure the coupons created are set up correctly. Check the coupon limits are set, the copy for each screen is right and you have linked the appropriate coupons to your communications.
• Ensure your Prizes and the awarding rules are set up correctly. If you have Live prize awarding as your award, make sure you enable this feature, you can see how to do so here.
• Edit the leaderboard and gameplay styling to your brand colors. Make use of the Advanced styling tab to adjust the color of each border question feedback.

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 choose 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.

• 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.
