Create a leaderboard

You can create a leaderboard for any Riddle you have created. You can create a leaderboard as a Riddle in its own right, or you can add a leaderboard to the result page.

Leaderboard setup

  1. Create a Riddle and publish it.

    select podium color
    The default colors are gold for first place, silver for second, bronze for third.

Security and privacy settings

You can customize how users participate in your leaderboard:

Disable 2FA verification

For new leaderboards, 2FA (two-factor authentication) is disabled by default, as we found users typically use leaderboards for fun and engagement rather than serious competitions where 2FA is necessary.

  1. Go to Settings and click on Leaderboard: Security / Privacy.
  2. Disable Require OTP verification to allow users to participate without email confirmation.

Remove email requirement

Create an arcade-style leaderboard where users only need to enter a nickname:

  1. Go to Settings and click on Leaderboard: Security / Privacy.
  2. Disable Require email to remove the email mapping.
  3. Users can now participate with just a nickname, and emails won't be required or displayed.

Ideas and extra information

  1. Create weekly, monthly, or even ongoing cumulative leaderboards that connect different Riddles and motivate your audience to keep playing.
  2. A person's highest score is always the one that's counted on the leaderboard. If someone gets 50 points the first time they play, for example, and then 70 points the second time, the 70 will be on the leaderboard, not 50.
  3. You can play a quiz or predictor multiple times. Only your best result appears on the leaderboard.
