January 2026 Edition: Feature Releases & Updates

We're excited to share this article covering several months of platform evolution! Since our last digest in July 2025, we've been hard at work. From our new widget components and expanded AI quiz types to flexible game formats and centralized branding management - here's everything you may have missed.

 

🚀 Major Feature Releases & Updates

1) Expanded AI Quiz Generation: Full Match Coverage for Football âš½

We've significantly expanded our Football AI-Generated Quiz capabilities! Previously limited to Post-Match quizzes, you can now engage your audience across every stage of the match with three AI quiz types:

  • Football Pre-Match AI Quizzes - Build anticipation before kickoff! The AI pulls match data from Sports APIs (team form, head-to-head history) and generates questions perfect for creating excitement in the hours or days leading up to a match.
  • Football Half-Time AI Quizzes - Capture the action during the break! The AI pulls real-time first-half data (scores, goal scorers, cards, key moments) and generates questions about what's happened so far, keeping fans engaged during the 15-minute interval.
  • Football Post-Match AI Quizzes - Continue engaging fans after the final whistle with AI-generated recap questions based on the full match data.

Create Maximum Engagement: You can even stack all three quiz types for the same match - Pre-Match for anticipation, Half-Time for sustained engagement, and Post-Match for recaps. The AI handles the heavy lifting while you focus only on quiz timing and distribution.

2) New Widget Components Added 🎯

We've completely transformed the integration experience! Remember when Personality Quizzes were only available at API/SDK level? Well, they're now available as ready-to-use widgets with full Management Portal support. But that's just the beginning:

  • Personality Quiz Widget - Create engaging personality quizzes that match users to custom personas with zero custom frontend development. Configure everything from the Management Portal - authentication requirements, lead collection, branding colors, persona definitions - and get auto-generated embed code ready to paste into your website.
  • Match Quiz Widget - Deploy football prediction games instantly with our pre-built widget. All the functionality you love, now with a plug-and-play interface.
  • Custom Event Game Widget - Bring prediction games for ANY sport to life without building custom UI from scratch. More on this game type below!

Why Widgets Matter: Launch features in hours instead of weeks or months. No more building interfaces from scratch - widgets handle both functionality and UI, letting you focus on your core business.

What's Coming: We're actively working on a newer version of the Either Or widget and adding a Top X widget to the library - stay tuned for these upcoming additions!

🔬 Storybook Testing Environment

Here's where it gets exciting: preview and test every widget before going live!

  • Interactive Preview Platform - See exactly how your personality quizzes, match quizzes, and custom event games widgets will look and behave before embedding them on your website
  • Live Data Testing - Connect to your actual quiz/game data using API credentials and test with real content in a safe testing environment
  • Zero-Risk Experimentation - Try different templates, configurations, and settings without affecting your live site

No More Guesswork: The Storybook solves a major client pain point - you can now see, interact with, and perfect your games before deployment.

3) Custom Event Games: Complete Creative Freedom 🎮

Unlike our Match Quiz and Top X games that are tied to football-specific sports API data, Custom Event Games give you total control to manually create prediction games for virtually any sporting event or scenario:

  • Any Sport, Any Event - Manually create prediction games for basketball, hockey, cricket, rugby, esports, or any sport imaginable without being limited by available sports data integrations
  • Full Manual Control - Define your own prediction questions with four answer formats (Yes/No, Numeric, Multiple Choice, Open Text), set custom point values, and manually settle predictions with a single click
  • Instant Settlement - Resolve predictions for dozens, hundreds, or thousands of participants simultaneously with one click after entering correct answers
  • Easy Corrections - Made a mistake? Simply edit outcomes and re-settle - the system automatically recalculates all user scores

Perfect for: Diverse sports coverage, custom prediction questions beyond standard markets, and any scenario where you want complete creative control.

This also solves a major football challenge: Match Quiz is limited to competitions with full API data coverage, making it impossible to create prediction games for friendly matches, smaller cup competitions, or leagues without comprehensive data feeds. Custom Event Games eliminate this limitation - you can now create football prediction experiences for any match, regardless of data availability!

4) Branding Templates: Centralized Branding Management 🎨

Say goodbye to repetitive manual configuration! Our new Branding Templates system (released January 2026) transforms how you manage branding across multiple games:

  • Create Once, Apply Everywhere - Define reusable branding templates (logos, colors, URLs) once and apply them to any game with a dropdown selection
  • Central Management - Manage all branding templates from a single location instead of configuring each game individually
  • Instant Application - Apply pre-defined branding to multiple games with just a few clicks
  • Time Saving - Eliminate repetitive uploads and configurations, especially valuable when running multiple games with consistent sponsor branding

Important Note: For new games created after January 2026, the branding templates system is required. Individual game branding configuration is no longer available for new games, streamlining your workflow and ensuring brand consistency.
