Setting up a Memory mechanic
Updated over 2 months ago

Description

Launch a competition in the form of a Memory game. Participants have to find pairs of images within the time limit. Participants are then rewarded in a draw to select the winners. This game is very popular, enabling you to boost traffic on your various channels. You can personalise the game in your own colours, highlighting your world or the prizes via the scratch box and the win/lose images hidden behind the box.

Test this mechanism and download the documentation (assets, psd templates, renderings).

Memory configuration

To find out more about the very first steps in creating a campaign, we recommend that you start with the following article: General guide to a marketing campaign.

The Memory is made up of the following sections

  • Configuration: to determine the general parameters of your campaign.

  • Home page: to import the legal documentation for your game (rules, privacy policy, etc.) and set the parameters for the home page.

  • Form: to choose the fields for your form and set its design parameters.

  • Mechanics: to define the parameters of the game and its design. This article will focus on this section in particular.

  • Installation: to activate and distribute your campaign to your audience.

To see the different options available for each section, we recommend that you read the articles associated with them.

Creating a Memory design

Before getting started, we recommend that you read this article, which explains the basics of creating graphics on Socialshaker: Creating the graphics for your campaign. As with all the other mechanics, you can choose between using the templates provided or importing your own template.

If you choose the latter option, you will need to create the following elements for this mechanic:

  • Campaign background (1920x1080px recommended).

  • Desktop home page background (810x700px recommended) and Mobile home page background (480×710px recommended).

  • Desktop (810x700px recommended) and Mobile (480×710px recommended) form page background.

  • Game page background (810x700px recommended) - no Mobile image for this background, it will be resized automatically.

  • Box images: 400x400px

  • Image for sharing on social networks (810x700px recommended).

Note that you can use the campaign background as the default background for all pages on Mobile by ticking the appropriate box :


Mechanics’ section

General settings

Here you can set the length of time allowed to complete the game (in seconds).

Theme

This module lets you import game backgrounds, customise the rendering of your texts and buttons, and customise the scratch and win images.

How do I import my backgrounds?

The game background is imported in the ‘Page design’ section. Only the Desktop background can be uploaded, and it will be resized to display on Mobile as well. If you wish, you can force the display of your campaign background for the Mobile version - this operation is carried out in the "Configuration ’ section of your campaign.

How do I customise Memory?

Customise the illustration images (the game boxes). There's the front box, under which the visuals to be found are hidden:


And the back boxes (8 different images, to make 8 pairs to find). Next, customise the game confirmation button. Don't forget to click on the ‘Validate’ button at the bottom right of the screen before leaving this section.

Sharing

To find out how to share your Memory game on social networks, we recommend you read this article: Sharing your game on social networks.

Limitation

To find out how to set one or more limits on your game, we recommend you read this article: How can I limit access to my campaign?

Random draw

A draw is used to determine the winners of your game campaign. To find out how to draw lots for an Open Quiz and what criteria are taken into account, we recommend that you read this article: Drawing lots

Exports

You can export 2 types of file containing participation data:

  • Participants export: includes the data of all the participants in your campaign. To find out more, we recommend you read this article: Exporting data.

  • Winners export: includes contact details for the participant, the date and time they won the prize, and the corresponding prize won. This list can be found in the ‘Mechanics’ > ‘Prize draw’ > ‘Winners export’ section.

Q&A

Is it possible to choose the number of squares on the Memory?

The Memory contains 8 pairs, and it is not possible to add or remove any.

How can I change my campaign once it has been activated?

You can, of course, modify your campaign at any time - just make the changes you want and confirm them using the ‘Confirm’ button at the bottom of the page.
