To limit the likelihood of a tie, we recommend having more Missions than participants can complete throughout the duration of the Experience.

Having Missions with varying points and difficulties allows teams to strategize on which Missions they are going to complete. Give the harder Missions (or the Missions that will take the most time) the largest point value, and the easy to complete Missions fewer aounts of points.

Will they spend more time on the difficult Missions worth more points, or will they try to complete as many of the easy Missions as possible to accumulate points quickly?

This is a great way to get teams working together to figure out which Missions to complete in the time allotted to earn the most points.

If you want participants to complete every Mission, you can also reduce the chance of a tie by awarding bonus points! This is a very popular way of breaking up the scores and is a great way to encourage your participants to give it their all!

We’ve seen creators award bonus points to the most creative submission, the best team work, the funniest photo or the most likes to name a few examples.

In the event that teams are tied for first place towards the end of your Experience, you could determine the winner by releasing a surprise mission to be completed by the 2 teams that are tied! This is a fun way to drive a lot of excitement and engagement towards the end of the Experience.

Flash Missions can also be fun to add mid-Experience to drive engagement at a specific time. Release a Mission for a short period of time; 5 minutes for a short experience, or an hour if it is a longer experience. Some participants will be able to complete the Mission and others will not. This will help break up the scores.

If you are going to do mid-Experience flash Missions, it’s best to release each one at a different time of day to give all participants a chance to complete one depending on their schedule.

Choose the winners based on who finished first, instead of point totals. You can use the leaderboard report on the Stats tab to see who finished first. This will show you the time stamp of each team’s last submission.

Having a time-based finish can create very high energy Experiences but may be difficult for experiences that run over a longer period of time.
