Gamification involves incorporating game mechanics and elements into non-game contexts to engage and motivate players.

It aims to make activities more enjoyable, competitive and immersive. Incorporating points, levels, badges, leaderboards, challenges, rewards and progress tracking makes this possible. It taps into people’s natural inclination for competition, achievement and rewards to motivate them and increase engagement.

The original Jeopardy is a popular television game show that has been on air since the 1960s.

The Jeopardy show features a unique question-and-answer format, where contestants compete to provide questions in response to answers across different categories.

By providing informative and educational content in a game format, you can effectively communicate key messages and position yourself as an authority in your field.

Brand awareness and recall

The Adact step-by-step guide to creating your own Jeopardy game

Set your categories, questions and images

With Jeopardy, you have three unique categories and each category includes three questions. You should edit the category names and questions according to your brand and marketing strategy.

After you set the Jeopardy trivia questions, you can add a supportive image to go with it. There is also an option to accompany, or even replace, these answers with images for a more appealing look to your game.

You can set as many correct answers as you wish in your game, so players have a better chance of doing well. Or make it more challenging by having multiple correct answers they must guess to earn points.

Customize it

There are many ways to customize your own game and make it stand out while still using the Jeopardy template:

• When you navigate to the “game visuals” tab, you can change the background color, set a branded image as the background and choose it for the categories and choices as well.
• The font size, color and style are all fully customizable as well. Decide what color the correct and incorrect answers are – and the feedback buttons – so they don’t get lost among the bunch. 
• For a distinct Jeopardy template, don’t miss out on the chance to choose the design of the score grid box to make it look more visually appealing.

Create a public leaderboard to inspire healthy competition

People like to play Jeopardy as a way to compete with each other and learn new things. Creating a leaderboard increases engagement and lets the players know who’s on top and who has some more learning to do.

To add a leaderboard to your game, you need customers to fill out a name that will be shown on the board. To enable this, click on the registration form, go to “fields” and add the “leaderboard name element” to your campaign.

Then add and customize your leaderboard button to give access to the public. You can quickly change the fonts, colors, background and labels to your specifications to give it your final Jeopardy touch. 

Publish your Jeopardy game

Now it’s time to publish and share your new Jeopardy game with your target audience and get the party started.

Adact offers two ways to publish your game:

1. Use our hassle-free domain to get your game online without a personal website. 
2. Copy the game code and integrate it into your website or domain.

You can also customize the game’s URL to include your brand name so that it’s easily recognizable.

The possibilities to share your Jeopardy game are almost limitless because you can embed the game into anything digital. That means endless opportunities for people to access and play it.

Analyze your Jeopardy game campaign

To learn more about your campaign and the target audience, you can track and analyze your Jeopardy game and its metrics, such as:

• The number of players
• Quiz completion rate
• Number of new email subscribers 

You will first need to decide what metrics to monitor and the Adact system will analyze them for you.

It’s also a good idea to set goal KPIs for your game and connect it to Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel to closely examine your audience and their location.

Make your own Jeopardy with Adact: Case studies

So, how do we know that these Jeopardy games work to attract and retain customers and that they’re not just fun and games? We can show you!

The results are in, and these are a few case studies to show how successful creating Jeopardy game campaigns with Adact can be.

Atomic Wallet

Atomic Wallet is a cryptocurrency wallet that focuses on the storage, management and exchange of over 500 different types of cryptocurrency. After having a successful Sandbox gamification marketing campaign, they decided to try out Jeopardy games, and man, oh man, were the results worth it!

Their Atomic Wallet Polygon Jeopardy game had 246k unique players and a 95% game completion. That shows that nearly every player who participated completed just about every question. Now that’s what we call a highly engaging marketing strategy.

Kaupmees & KO

Next, we have the Kaupmees & KO AS Jeopardy game results. As one of the biggest wholesale companies located in Estonia, Kaupmees & KO wanted to find a way to create a sense of unity and boost team spirit among their employees, and they did just that.

Using the Jeopardy template to create an HR gamification strategy allowed them to skyrocket employee engagement and motivate workers to get to know each other and the company. Around two-thirds of the employees managed to play and finish the game.

One key element that they took advantage of was Adact’s unique translation feature that makes it possible to reach audiences of all languages and cultures. This means they were able to reach a bigger audience, bringing more employees together as one and strengthening their teams. They also sweetened the pot by giving out prizes to the winning players.

FoundMe

Adact partnered with sTARTUp Day to help companies engage conference attendees with epic results. 

One company that decided to participate was FoundMe. This company took advantage of its newly made FoundMe Jeopardy game and used it to interact with its audience in person at a conference. Here’s the kicker, they decided to take gamification a step further and eliminate the need for salespeople! 

Despite not having salespeople present, FoundMe collected two-three times more leads than usual using its Jeopardy and Wheel of fortune games. We call that a fruitful conference experience.
