The Social Gauge mechanism is ideal for sharing and creating virality on your game. It mainly allows you to offer your users more chances to a possible draw, by rewarding participants who have shared the game on social networks and who have generated a given number of new subscribers (called godsons) to the campaign since their sharing.
In addition to encouraging you to share your campaign, the social gauge has a large number of configuration options that will allow you to: generate more participation in a game module, boost media upload on a campaign, maximize the number of codes entered by users via the Gate code module, etc. This module is usually added at the end of a campaign and it is preferable to combine it with another game module for maximum efficiency.

Before setting up your campaign, you must create the necessary graphic elements. Please check this article that will explain all the essential information for the graphic creation of your campaign: Creating your games graphics. This article will provide all information and tips you will need to create your Social Gauge graphics:

First, click on New Campaign and select the Social Gauge mechanic. You will then be taken to the campaign editor which includes the 3 stages of this mechanic: Form, Social Gauge and the End of campaign page. If you wish, you can add a home page and/or a teaser page. Don't forget to set up your campaign settings now, including the campaign dates, terms and conditions and privacy policy.

Upload your desktop background images by clicking on the '+' icon under ' Background Image'. To find out the graphics specifications for this module's background images, please check the 'Game design' section in this article.

You can also add a solid background color to surround your game pages - you can keep the default color or standardize your campaign with a color that reflects your brand or your game pages, for instance.

To get started, click on "Add a gauge" to create one and then follow the steps below.
You can also rename a social gauge using the editing tool next to its name:

You can currently create up to 9 different types of gauges for your campaigns:

To identify the number of referrals per user on the export file, just look at the number in the "godsons" column.

​Example: on this screenshot, Cynthia brought 1 "godson" and Mélanie brought 3 godson" on the campaign.

For each gauge there is an automatic redirection option that you can choose to activate or not. This means that when the gauge is filled, the player will automatically be redirected to another page, for example a staffing or thank you page.

To encourage the user to share, publish or replay your campaign, we recommend creating levels whose values you choose. This can be based, for example, on:

Each level reached can trigger a greater or lesser reward, ranging from an additional chance to a draw, to a reward.
This creates a certain emulation in the user who immediately sees if he is close to achieving a reward, and promotes more regular participation or sharing on his part.
You can reflect these levels in your visual creation of the gauge for optimal final visual rendering, they can be positioned to the left or right of the gauge.

When you create a gauge, click on it to open a customization window located at the bottom left of your screen. You can thus:

Here is an example of visuals of a full gauge and an empty gauge (with integrated graduations visualization), as well as an animated rendering:

Once your Desktop Campaign is set up, you need to switch to Mobile view to import the dedicated backgrounds and format your different pages for that support. To import mobile backgrounds, follow the same procedure as for desktop backgrounds.

Once the desktop and mobile versions have been finalized, you can publish the campaign. Don't forget to check your campaign. Use our emailing option to increase engagement on your marketing campaign.
