Reveals
An overview of the Reveals game and the game campaign setup process.
Game Overview
Reveals is an outcome-based game where players receive a pack of cards at the start of a round. Each card contains a possible outcome for a real-world sporting event.
Cards are revealed on a schedule you configure, typically one or more per day. As the real-world events progress, each card is automatically updated via the Xtremepush sports feed with a tick or a cross to indicate whether the outcome was correct.

Example front-end of a Reveals game showing the pack opening, revealed cards, and end-of-round results.
Prizes are awarded based on the number of correct matches a player achieves. You configure how many correct matches are required to win each prize. Prizes and the outcome cards players receive can also vary by user segment, allowing you to tailor the game experience for different groups of players.
A game can be structured into one or more rounds, each with its own set of outcome cards, reveal schedule, and prizes. This allows you to run short games or longer campaigns spanning several weeks, with prizes awarded at the end of each round.
Prerequisites
- Send a Figma file of your designs to your account manager at Xtremepush. We will use this to create an asset pack for you to upload, which includes all the required images and a layout file. This asset pack forms the front-end of your game.
- User Segments: To target your game to specific players, you'll need pre-configured segments. These must be created on the Xtremepush platform before you start. For more information, see Before You Create a Game Campaign.

Campaign Setup
Basic Setup
In the Basic Setup tab, you must provide the following details of your game:
-
Name: Give your campaign a unique and descriptive name. This name will be included in your game’s custom URL which you will embed on your website.
-
Time zone: Select the timezone of your target audience.
-
Start date and End date: Define the period during which your game campaign is active.
-
Start date: When the game becomes accessible to players.
Before this point any player who opens the game will see a Campaign not started message. You can change this text in the Content and Assets tab.
-
End date: When the game campaign closes entirely.
Players visiting after this point will see a Campaign ended message. You can change this text in the Content and Assets tab.
-
-
Allow Duplicated Events: Enable this toggle to allow multiple outcomes from the same event to appear across the cards in a pack.
When to use Allow Duplicated EventsAn event refers to a specific real-world sporting fixture, for example, a single football match or basketball game. An outcome is a possible result of that event, for example, Team A to win or Both Teams to Score.
Use this toggle when the number of reveals in your game exceeds the number of unique events available. For example, if you have 3 events and 6 reveals per round, enabling this toggle allows more than one outcome from the same event to appear across the cards.
If this toggle is not enabled, only one outcome per event is displayed.
You can configure the number of outcomes later in the Outcomes section of the Setup tab and the number of tiles revealed in the Configure Rounds section of the Configuration tab.
-
Has Rounds: Enable this toggle if your campaign contains rounds. When enabled, the Closes At field is no longer displayed as closing times are configured per round instead.
-
Exclude Segment: If required, select a segment that you want to exclude from participating in the game such as bonus abusers. Users in this segment won't be able to access the game.
-
Default Segment: Set a default segment to ensure any user who doesn’t match your pre-defined segments can still play the game and receive a prize.
Default SegmentIn the Default Segment field, select one of your previously created user segments. Any participant who does not belong to another segment in your campaign will be treated as part of this default group. They will receive the prize that you configure for this segment.
For example, if you have two user segments VIP and New User and you intend to give the New User segment the lowest-value prize. Then, if you choose New User as the default segment, then any player not in VIP and New User segments can:
- Participate in the game
- Be awarded the same lowest-value prize as the New User segment
Outcomes
In the Outcomes tab, you select all the possible outcomes that will populate the cards in your game. An outcome is a possible result of a real-world sporting event and is displayed as a card in your players' pack.
These outcomes are imported from the Xtremepush sports feed. When you import outcomes, you must specify their associated Sport ,Event, and Market. The following is an example import for a Premier League football game:
- Sport: Football
- Event: Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest
- Market: Both Teams To Score And Totals 2.5 (4-way), Ordinary Time
- Outcomes: Both Teams Not To Score And Over 2.5, Both Teams Not To Score And Under 2.5, Both Teams To Score And Over 2.5, Both Teams To Score And Under 2.5
Selecting MarketsA market refers to a specific type of betting or prediction option within an event, for example, Match Winner, Total Goals, or First Scorer. When importing outcomes, selecting specific markets ensures only relevant outcomes are added to your game.
How Outcomes are Assigned to RoundsAll outcomes are imported at the campaign level. When you configure rounds, the outcomes displayed in each round are automatically determined by the round's start and end dates, which you configure in the Configuration tab.
Outcomes from events falling within a round's date range will appear in that round. Only outcomes with a can happen status are displayed.
To import outcomes, do the following:
- In the top-right of the Outcomes section, click Import Outcomes.
- Select the Sport.
- Select the Event. You may need to type part of the event name for results to populate.
Available EventsEvents available for import are based on your campaign's start and end dates. For example, if your campaign starts today and ends next week, you will not see events scheduled for several weeks in the future.
- Specify Included Markets or Excluded Markets to control which outcomes are imported. It is recommended to select only the specific markets you need under Included Markets. This is because importing without filtering for markets will pull in all available outcomes from the Xtremepush feed.
After you import outcomes, the associated Markets, Participants, and Events are displayed in their respective tabs within the Setup tab. From these tabs, you can review and manage the imported data, including customising display names for markets, participants, and events.
Example Outcome Imports
- Single-round NBA weekly campaign
If you are running a one-week game campaign around an NBA game week, you would import outcomes from basketball events taking place that week. For example, Detroit Pistons vs Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets
- Multi-round football campaign over two weeks
If your campaign has two rounds, each covering a week of football fixtures, you import all outcomes for both weeks in one go. The platform then automatically assigns outcomes to the correct round based on when each event takes place. Outcomes from Week 1 fixtures will appear in Round 1, and outcomes from Week 2 fixtures will appear in Round 2.
Round and Segment Configuration
In the Configuration tab, you configure the rounds for your game and assign the user segments that are eligible to participate in. the game. You can also configure an odds range per segment, which controls which outcome cards players in that segment will receive.
Configure Rounds
To configure a round, click Create Round in the Rounds tab and provide the following:
-
Name: Enter an internal name for the round. The text displayed to players is configured separately in the Layout References below.
-
Starts At: The date and time the round begins. This is when players receive their first card.
-
Closes At: This date must be the same as the round End Date but with an earlier timestamp.
By default, cards are revealed daily after the time specified in your round's Start Date. For example, if your round starts on May 19 at
14:00, a card is revealed every day after14:00until the End Date.The Closes At field allows you to set a different time for when the card is revealed on the final day. For example, if your Closes At time is set to
10:00, the last card is revealed at10:00on the final day instead of the usual14:00. -
Ends At: The date and time when the round is processed and prizes are distributed. No further cards are revealed after this date.
For your final round, ensure there is a gap between the final round's Ends At date and the campaign Ends At date.
-
Daily Reveals: This section determines the total number of cards revealed to your players during the round and how frequently they are revealed. For each day of the round, you specify how many cards are revealed on that day. You must configure at least one reveal per day.
This field is displayed after you select a round End Date. A Reveals field is then displayed for each day from the round start date to the round end date.
-
Layout References: The text fields displayed to players for this round in the game's front end. For example, Round 1 or Round 2.
Rounds must be sequentialRounds must follow a sequential, non-overlapping order. A new round must begin after the previous round has ended.
Example Round Configurations
- Weekly game (without rounds): A one-week campaign around a single NBA game week would typically use only the default round. The campaign start and end dates cover the full week, and daily reveals display one outcome card per day across the week.
- Month Long football game: For a campaign spanning a month of football matches, you might configure four weekly rounds, one per week. Each round covers a set of weekend fixtures. Because all outcomes were imported at the campaign level, the platform automatically assigns the relevant fixtures to each round based on the round dates. Prizes are awarded at the end of each round based on correct matches.
Specify User Segments
In the Segments tab, you assign user segments eligible to play the game and you can configure the odds range applicable to each segment.
To add a segment, click Create Segment and select the desired segment. For each segment, you can configure an Odds Min and Odds Max value. These values determine the type of outcome or card the user segment will receive.
Each imported outcome has an associated odds value. Higher odds indicate a less likely outcome, while lower odds indicate a more likely outcome. So, if you provide Odds Min value of 1.0 and an Odds Max value of 2.5, the user segment will receive the cards/outcomes within the 1.0 - 2.5 odds range.
You can configure the odds range for each individual card reveal within a game. For example, if you have two rounds with eight reveals each, you would configure odds for 16 outcomes in total for that segment. Each outcome is added sequentially, so Outcome 1 corresponds to the first reveal, Outcome 2 to the second, and so on.
This allows you to control the likelihood of a user segment getting correct matches, which in turn increases their likelihood of winning a prize.
Assets and Content
Upload Assets
In the Configure Assets tab, you upload the asset pack which forms the front end of your game.
Upload the asset pack provided to you by Xtremepush. This file contains the game's images and a .pkg layout file that sets the overall game appearance. If required, you can replace any of the image assets provided to you. For more information on replacing assets, Replace Assets.
The assets section is divided into two tabs:
- Assets: This tab contains the main game assets that form your game's front-end. You must upload your asset pack in this section.
- Participant: When you import outcomes, the logos of the team/participants for the selected events is populated in this tab. When you replace these team logo assets, ensure that the file name of each uploaded asset matches the file name of the existing logo.
Configure Game Text
In the Configure Texts tab, you manage the text content displayed to players. This section is split into two parts:
- Standard Texts (Texts)
- Layout-Specific Texts (Layout References)
