This article covers how predictions are scored, how to set up win conditions, and how to calculate and assign winner status.
What is a prediction?
The prediction game is different from a lot of other games because the correct answer is often not known at the time of play. Participants submit their answers before the event - for example, guessing the outcome of a football match - and you enter the correct answer afterwards.
Prizes option on prediction games Because the result is not known on participation, prediction games are not compatible with game based bulk prizes. It is only possible to use regular prizes, where winners are drawn later after game participation.
How scoring works
Scoring is based on individual correct answers, not questions. Each correct answer a participant gets right counts as one correct prediction. The total across all questions determines their score.
How each answer format is scored:
Single select - if the selected answer matches the correct answer, the participant earns 1 correct prediction. Maximum per question: 1.
Score - if both numbers match the correct score exactly, the participant earns 1 correct prediction. Partial matches (e.g. correct home score but wrong away score) do not count. Maximum per question: 1.
Multi-select - each individual answer that matches one of the correct answers counts as 1 correct prediction. For example, if the correct answers are Salah, Núñez, and Eriksen, and the participant selected Salah and Núñez, they earn 2 correct predictions. Maximum per question: the number of correct answers you define (up to the maximum number of selections allowed).
Example
A game has four prediction questions:
Question | Format | Correct answer | Participant's answer | Correct predictions |
Who will win? | Single select | Italy | Denmark | 0 |
What will the score be? | Score | 2:3 | 2:3 | 1 |
Who will score goals? | Multi-select (pick up to 3) | Salah, Núñez, Eriksen | Salah, Núñez, Wind | 2 |
Half-time score | Score | 1:0 | 1:0 | 1 |
Total correct predictions: 4
Viewing prediction results on a registration
Once you have entered the correct answer for a prediction question, the registration's Game Information view updates automatically. For each question, you will see:
The participant's answer
Whether the answer was correct (checkmark, cross, or a fraction like 2/3 for multi-select questions)
At the bottom of the table, the total correct predictions shows the participant's score across all questions that have a correct answer set.
This data updates in real time as you add or change correct answers - no manual action is needed.
Exporting prediction scores
The registration export includes a Total correct predictions column. This is the answer-level count of correct predictions across all questions, computed at the time of export.
You can use this column to rank participants by performance, identify top scorers, or select winners outside the platform.
Setting a win condition
To assign winner or loser status to participants, you first need to define a win condition.
Go to Game Settings → General → Win conditions.
The Correct predictions to win dropdown lets you set a threshold: the minimum number of correct predictions a participant needs to be marked as a winner. The options range from 1 up to the maximum number of correct predictions achievable across all questions.
Setting this to "None" means winner/loser status will not be assigned, even if you calculate scores.
Note: The win condition counts individual correct answers, not questions. For single select and score questions, this is 1 per question. For multi-select questions, each correct answer selected counts as 1. Keep this in mind when choosing your threshold.
Setting correct answers
Go to Game Settings → Predictions. For each prediction question, click Modify and select or enter the correct answer.
When you save a correct answer, you will be asked to confirm. Once confirmed, the correct answer is locked and cannot be changed.
Important: Make sure the correct answer is accurate before confirming. Once locked, the answer is used for all scoring and cannot be edited. If you need to make a correction, contact support to unlock the answer.
Calculating scores and assigning winner status
Once you have set a win condition and entered a correct answer for at least one prediction, you can calculate scores.
Go to Game Settings → Predictions and click Calculate scores at the bottom of the predictions table.
A confirmation modal will appear showing:
Your win condition - a reminder of how many correct predictions are required to be marked as a winner
Which questions are included - each prediction with a correct answer set, along with the correct answer and the number of potential points it contributes
Total available points - the maximum number of correct predictions a participant could achieve based on the questions included
Excluded questions - any predictions without a correct answer set, which will be skipped
Review the summary and click Calculate scores to proceed.
The platform will evaluate all registrations, calculate each participant's total correct predictions, and assign winner or loser status based on the win condition threshold.
Partial results
You do not need to enter correct answers for all questions before calculating. You can calculate scores at any point - the results will reflect only the questions with a correct answer set. A note will indicate how many questions were included (e.g. "Based on 3 of 4 questions").
If you add more correct answers later, run the calculation again to update scores and winner status.
Recalculating
After the first calculation, the button changes to Recalculate scores. Each recalculation overwrites the previous winner/loser status. A timestamp shows when scores were last calculated and how many questions were included.
Drawing a winner
Once scores have been calculated, you can use the winner/loser status in the prize draw.
Go to Prizes → Draw winner. Under Draw winner from, select:
All - draw from all participants regardless of status
Winners - draw only from participants marked as winners (met the win condition)
Losers - draw only from participants marked as losers
