Prediction Challenge

Predict-to-win mechanics tied to a marquee sport, entertainment or news event.

Description

Customers predict the outcome of a real-world event. Correct predictions win. We underwrite the payout so the campaign can promise a serious prize even when the outcome is unlikely.

Why it works

It rides existing attention. Fans are already watching — the mechanic just gives them a stake in the outcome and a reason to give you their data.

How success is measured

Casual fans move from passive spectators to active participants who return to check, adjust and share their predictions.
