1. Introduction.
With the Cool Promo and Cool Promo White Label apps, included in the Gold and Diamond plans respectively, you can create a campaign with the Pop it! mechanic. This lets you configure an interactive game in which participants must burst the bubbles that appear on screen to catch the objects inside them and score points, while dodging the bubbles that subtract points.
You can fully customize the game with your own design: the staging (background image) and the elements inside the bubbles.
You can also assign points to each bubble caught, enable a ranking of participants, and run a raffle among the top scorers or among all participants.
2. Step by step.
2.1. Create your campaign.
First, you need to create your campaign and configure its basic settings. Is this your first time creating a campaign with Cool Tabs? The following tutorial shows you how to configure the basic sections of a campaign, along with other recommended settings, to ensure it works properly and to maximize results.

2.2. Configure the game.
Once you've completed the basic sections, go to the "Gamifications" section. By default, campaigns are created without any gamification enabled. Activate the "Pop it!" option and click "Configure".
Once inside the settings, fill in the fields related to the game's features and design.
2.2.1. Main configuration.
Upload the game images:
Background image: the image shown behind the game. Don't confuse it with the campaign's background image. The optimal size is up to 810px wide (1080px maximum height), in JPG or PNG format, with a 3:4 aspect ratio.
Bubble images (prize and miss): the images used for the two types of bubbles shown in the game — prize bubbles, which add points, and miss bubbles, which subtract points. The recommended size is a maximum of 320 x 320px, in PNG format so it supports transparency, with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
2.2.2. Game conditions.
Set the duration of the game, in seconds. This is the maximum time the participant has to burst as many bubbles as possible.
Set how many points to award for each bubble successfully burst, and how many points to subtract when the participant clicks a miss bubble.
Specify the maximum number of times a user can play. When a game ends, the participant sees a popup with the points they earned, the text "You have X more tries", and a "Play Again" button. Once they reach the play limit, they will no longer be able to play again — only to continue.
By default, 10 bubbles are shown on screen at the same time, and 30% of them are miss bubbles.
2.2.3. Design.
You can add a title to be displayed as the header of the game; leave this field empty if you don't want to include one. You can also add content (images and/or text) as a description.
Save your settings and continue editing the campaign.
Below is an example of how the Pop it! game screen is displayed.
2.3. Other settings.
2.3.1. Ranking of participants.
In gamification campaigns where players score points, it's common to display a public list of participants, so everyone can see how they ranked.
If you want to show the ranking of players along with the points they've obtained, activate the participant list.
To enable the public ranking of participants, follow the steps in this tutorial: How to display a public entries list or ranking of participants.
2.3.2. Winner selection.
If your game is linked to a sweepstakes, you can select winners once the participation period ends.
Winners can be selected randomly or filtered by different conditions, such as the points obtained in the game.
The participant list shows each participant's data, along with the total points they've obtained.
To start the selection process, follow this tutorial: How to select winners and obtain your Certificate of Validity.
3. Other specifications.
The Cool Promo and Cool Promo White Label applications, included in the Gold and Diamond plans respectively, are the ones that let you set up a Pop it! game.
You can also create your game with the 7-day free trial, which lets you test any of our plans.
