    Advent Calendar

    Set up and customise your interactive Advent Calendar.

    The Advent Calendar is an ideal game mechanic for engaging your audience during the festive season. Each day, participants can open a door and discover a surprise: a prize to win, exclusive content, a promo code...

    Global settings

    In the Creator Studio, go to the "Advent Calendar" screen to configure the general options:

    • Number of doors: 24 by default, with the option to add a 25th door
    • Lock previous doors: enabled by default, prevents participants from returning to doors from past days
    • Unlock all doors: allows all doors to be opened without date restrictions (useful for testing)
    • Limit to one win per user: each participant can only win once across the entire calendar

    Remember to disable the "Unlock all doors" option before launching your campaign so the calendar works correctly day by day.

    Customisation in the Creator Studio

    The Creator Studio lets you fully customise the appearance of your Advent Calendar.

    Background and general style

    Several customisation options are available:

    Background: customise the colour or background image of the area containing the calendar.

    Prize management

    Two prize distribution modes are available:

    • Instant wins: prizes are distributed immediately when a door is opened. Configure them via the "Instant Win Prizes" tab.
    • Prize draw: select winners after the campaign ends via the "Winner Selection" tab.

    You can combine both modes: small instant win prizes every day and a large final prize selected by draw.
