The Quiz is a fun and engaging game where players answer questions to earn a spot on the Leaderboard. Questions can be either sports-related or custom topics. Each Quiz instance can have multiple Quiz Games (Rounds) on different topics. For example, you could create a Quiz Instance named ‘Football Master’ and include rounds from various football leagues like La Liga, Serie A, and the Premier League. The questions can be based on real sports events, such as ‘Who will win the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona?’ with answer options like Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Draw.
You can create sports-related questions in two ways:
1. Automatic: Select a sports event from our feed and choose from pre-defined questions. The correct answers will be automatically updated by the feed.
2. Manual: Create your own sports event and add a custom question. You’ll need to manually resolve the event and select the correct answer.
Custom questions can be either sport-related or non-sport-related. For sport-related questions, you have additional options like match date, match/league name, and team names, which are not available for non-sport-related questions. All custom questions are created manually, and you must also manually define the correct answers from the BO once the Quiz is finished.
The player's journey progresses through the following steps:
1. Enter Quiz Lobby: Players choose from multiple quiz instances available in the lobby. Each instance can have a different topic.
2. Select Quiz Game: After opening a quiz instance, players see various quiz games (rounds) with details like end date, name, description, amount of questions, etc.
3. Answer Questions: Players begin answering questions within the selected quiz game - questions may be sports-related or custom ones.
4. Wait for the correct answer: If the question was linked to a sports event, the correct answer will be available once the event is resolved. For Custom questions, the correct answer should be manually defined by the BO once the Quiz is finished.
The Quiz consists of the following main components: Quiz Instance, Quiz Game, Initial Screen, Quiz Question, Rules tab, Leaderboard tab, Prizepool, and How to Play section.
Quiz Instance: Displayed in the lobby of the Quiz section within the Gamification Widget. You can create multiple Quiz instances, each representing a separate quiz experience. Each Quiz Instance contains multiple Quiz Games or rounds.
Quiz Game (Rounds): Every Quiz Game features an initial screen, end date, name, promo text, description, image, and cost type, and includes all the quiz questions. You can have 1 or more rounds in one Quiz Instance.
T&C panel: contains details about the selected round such as the name of the round, end date, image, promo text, T&C, and Start button.
Quiz Questions: Each question is part of a Quiz Game (round) and includes an image, question text, answer options, event name, and event date (for sports-related questions).
Rules tab: Here you can add custom text describing the rules, T&C of the Quiz, etc. The Rules tab supports HTML as well.
Leaderboard: Shows the list of ranked players who are participating in the Quiz game and their scores.
Prize pool: Shows the list of prizes for each position.
How to Play: Shows the instructions on how to play the Quiz.
You can create a quiz from the BO in the Gamification tab -> Quiz. To create a quiz you need to complete the following steps:
Create the Quiz Instance in the BO by configuring the general and the UI settings
Add Quiz Rounds
Configure the Round by selecting the start and end date, adding a description, image, promo text, etc.
After saving the round, select the questions from the feed or create custom questions
Customize the question by updating the image, selecting the question type, etc.
Add prize pool
You can now remove tie rankings on the Quiz leaderboard. The setting, ‘Remove Tie Rankings,’ is available in the BO under the Quiz template and is disabled by default.
Keep in mind that "Seasonal Ranking" is enabled by default for the Quiz game and when "Remove Tie Ranking" is enabled, the General Leaderboard prioritizes players first by points and then by the time of their prediction, regardless of the round. If two players have the same points from different rounds, the player who made their prediction first will receive the higher rank on the leaderboard.
When enabled, if two or more players have the same score, the player who made their prediction first will be ranked higher, ensuring that each position is held by a single player (e.g., only one player in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place). In such case, the prize for 1st place for example will be issued only to 1 player.
If the option is disabled, players with the same score will share the same position on the leaderboard. For example, you could have three players tied for 1st place and two for 2nd place. In such case, the prize for 1st place for instance can be issued to two or more players depending on how many players have the same score.
Here are some important details about the Quiz:
The leaderboard aggregates scores across all rounds, so prizes are awarded only after all rounds are resolved. If some rounds remain unresolved, prizes will not be issued.
If there’s only one Quiz game (round) on the desktop view, the Quizzes tab won't be shown; instead, the Rules tab will be displayed.
If a question is tied to a sports event and the event is postponed, the UI won’t update automatically. You’ll need to manually mark the question as canceled in the BO.
If there are future Quiz Games (Rounds) they will not be displayed in the UI.
In case the 'cost type' is not free, the player will be charged once per round, regardless of the number of answered questions if they’re in 1 round it is considered as 1 attempt.
