Creating a Prediction Challenge

Note: This feature is available to Project Owners and Project Administrators on the Admin Dashboard.

A Prediction Challenge allows Players to predict an eventual outcome by selecting one option from a list. Players receive points only if the option they selected is later set as the correct outcome.

Use this Challenge when the correct answer is not known at the time Players submit their predictions, such as predicting the winner of a match, event, campaign, or competition.

To create a Prediction Challenge:

1. Sign in to your Administrator account at https://gametize.com/signin.
2. Select the Project, then the Topic where you want to create the Content.
3. On the Topic Manager page, locate and click on "+ New Content".
4. Select the Challenges in the pop-up panel.

     • Toggle the button to enable or disable showing the featured image at the bottom of the Content screen.
   • Enter a Content Title.
   • Add a Content Description, if needed.
     • Tip: Make use of the Content Description field to give your Players more context to the Prediction Challenge. For example, "Team A is new on the scene but has been on a winning streak this entire year, but Team B has snagged the championship for the past three years!". 
   • Embed External Media, if needed.
   • Add the content to a Content Category, if needed.

Some special things about the Prediction Challenge: 

• Unlike Quiz and Poll Challenges, Players do not receive points simply for selecting an option. Players receive points only when their selected Prediction Option is set as the correct outcome.
• The Challenge will automatically expire when an outcome is selected.
• You can only set a Prediction result after at least 1 completion has been recorded for the Challenge.
• Option-based Challenge settings can only be edited when there are no completions associated with the Challenge. If the Content already has completions, you may need to delete the completions or duplicate the Content before changing option-based settings. 
• Images can be added to the created Quiz Options. 
• Add more than 2 Prediction Options to give your Players a variety or increase the difficulty level of the Challenge.
