Go Beyond Your Event App's Gamification - Drive Real Engagement!
SocialPoint provides planners with a true gamification platform that goes beyond basic event app gamification, so your attendees are more engaged, and more motivated to learn and connect.
Unlike event app gamification, SocialPoint gives you:
- Raffle Drawings (automated name pickers & tiered prizes)
- Trivia Quizzes (with points that accumulate over time)
- Photo Galleries (curated for big screens & web display)
- Team Leaderboards (competitions by attendee type or groups)
- Prize Wheels & Instant Wins (to boost motivation & participation)
- Game within a Game (VIP experiences or sponsor-specific challenges)
- Turn Challenges On & Off Anytime (release new challenges daily)
- Prize Inventory Management (track prize winners automatically)
Your event app’s gamification doesn’t offer this. We do – and so can you!
Even better? SocialPoint integrates seamlessly with top event apps like Cvent, Swapcard, and Swoogo. You get the best of both worlds – an event app for logistics, and SocialPoint for engagement that drives results.

What are some common mistakes to avoid with games for corporate events and trade shows?
Here are some common mistakes to avoid when using games for corporate events and trade shows:
- Not choosing a game that aligns with meeting your goals.
- Making your game too complex for players to quickly play or understand how to win.
- Not offering valuable enough prizes to incentivize people to play, or a variety of rewards to keep people engaged throughout a longer event.
- Not promoting your game before and during your event to get more people to play.
Setup and Support
How long does it take to set up the game? I’m short on time—can you help?
We know planners are busy. Our proven process—Kickoff, Setup, Dry Run, and Launch—helps you get your game ready fast, with our team guiding you every step of the way. Most games are setup in 3 weeks. If you are less than 2 weeks from your event, we can get you ready quickly for a rush fee of $750.
What support do you offer? Will your team set this up for me?
You won’t be left figuring this out alone. Our team works with you to set up your game and ensure everything is ready to go. We can also provide onsite support if needed.
Do you offer onsite support at my event?
We don’t send people onsite, but we can offer remote dedicated support packages to ensure everything runs smoothly on event day. Ask us about the options! Note: Most events don’t need it though.
How does SocialPoint protect my data?
First, it’s important to know that SocialPoint customers own the data that they put into the system and the data that is created from their games. This is outlined in Section 3.1 of our Terms and Conditions.
Second, we have a detailed data processing addendum that is included in the terms and conditions that explain how we process your data and protect it.
No, we won’t sell your data. We confirm that in Section 2.1.5.2 of our Data Processing Addendum.
Game Customization and Results
I’ve tried gamification before, and it flopped. Why will this work?
Most event apps treat gamification as an afterthought. SocialPoint is a real gamification platform designed to drive engagement with customizable challenges, prize incentives, and our proven process.
There are three things that help keep people engaged and motivated to play over three dates:
(1) We can turn challenges on and off, so players can’t play ahead and cheat.
(2) We offer multiple reward options, so if a player feels like they can’t win on the leaderboard, perhaps they can earn a drawing entry or win an “instant prize”.
(3) If you have a team game, we find that the team leaderboard and my team leaderboard create peer pressure (to not let my teammates down) to help keep players engaged and playing.
How do real-time leaderboards drive engagement at my event?
Live leaderboards create friendly competition and keep players coming back. Attendees see their progress, and you get more participation. With SocialPoint the leaderboards update in real-time keeping players up to date on what’s happening around them.
How can I reward players—besides using a leaderboard?
Besides leaderboards, you can offer prize drawings, instant win prizes, spin-to-win prize wheels, and more—motivating players to stay engaged.
How can I customize the game to match my event and brand?
Our platform is built for customization. You can add your logos, colors, challenge types, and more to create a game that fits your event perfectly.
Plans and Pricing
Which pricing plan is right for me—60-day or annual?
Our One month and 60-day plans are great for one-time events, while our annual plan saves you money if you’re running multiple games throughout the year.
