Predictor

Predictors let an audience forecast a result - a match score, an award winner, a launch date - and come back later to see how they did. These free, self-paced Academy courses cover setting up a predictor, locking entries before the event, scoring the outcome, and adding a leaderboard so people compete and return.

Questions about predictor and leaderboard on Riddle

What is a Riddle predictor?

A predictor is an interactive form of prediction game: your audience forecasts an outcome - a football score, an election result, a product launch date - before it happens, entries lock at a deadline, and once you enter the real result Riddle scores everyone automatically. Pair it with a leaderboard and you get a returning audience rather than a one-off visit.

How do I add a leaderboard to a quiz or predictor?

Turn the leaderboard on in the results step of your Riddle, decide what identifies a player (a name field, an email, or a form step), and choose whether ranking is by score, by time, or by score then time. The Leaderboard Expert course covers display options, resetting a leaderboard between rounds, and embedding the leaderboard separately from the quiz.

Can entries be locked before the event starts?

Yes. Set a close date and time on the predictor and no further entries are accepted after it passes, which is what keeps a prediction game fair once the outcome is public.
