Game Rules

Dropping Items

Go to Customize Design → Game to set up the rules.

  1. The game includes items to catch and items to avoid by default, and you can add up to 5 items each.

  2. Customers must catch enough items and reach the required score before the timer runs out.

Minimum items to collect & Time

  • Specify the minimum amount of items that should be caught to win before time runs out.

  • Specify the duration (in seconds) during which the customer is allowed to play the game.

Lives

  • To add difficulty, you can limit the number of lives. If customers lose more lives than specified by collecting bad items, they lose.

End User Experience

How it works

  1. Customers move the cursor to slide the basket left and right. Random items are dropping

  2. Customer tries to catch good items and must avoid bad ones to win.

  3. The game ends when the time ends or when they lose a maximum number of lives.

  4. The customer is notified via the widget or email, depending on your configuration when they earned a reward. Learn more.

Customization

Design & Content

You can fully customize each stage of the campaign through dedicated tabs representing the different screens in the flow:

  • Intro / Main Screen

  • Success Screen

  • No Luck Screen

For each screen, you can tailor the following elements:

  • Branding: Adjust background colors, text colors, and upload custom artwork.

  • Content: Edit the headlines, descriptions, and call-to-action messages to match your tone and messaging.

This allows you to create a fully branded, on-theme experience that aligns with your business identity.
