Game Configurations (Strategy)

Strategy and balancing notes for Nudj game configs — see Games for the visual builder

This page covers strategy and balancing for Nudj’s game system. For the feature-level documentation of the visual game builder (creating new games, per-game-type configuration, preview, branding, repeatability, etc.), see Games.

Picking a game

Game type	Good for	Avoid when
Flick	Quick-action, high-repeat games (arcade launch)	Members on slow devices — animation-heavy
Catch	Hand-eye reaction — good for younger audiences	Accessibility-critical communities
Memory	Knowledge / brand familiarity	Players who dislike pattern-matching
Basketball	Big-screen / playful communities	Serious / B2B programs

Balancing rewards

Games convert score into points/XP/rewards. Your settings decide how rewarding the game feels:

• High xpPerScore — makes every action feel rewarding. Good for onboarding.
• Score thresholds — gate bigger rewards behind harder scores. Good for retention.
• Outcome-based (scratch products) — make the big reward rare. Good for hype.

See the full config options in Games.

Showing vs hiding games

Games have two visibility toggles:

• Community scope (#1851) — whether a given game config is available in this community.
• Show-in-games-tab (#2104) — whether it appears in the member Games tab.

Use scope to run different games per community. Use show-in-games-tab to let admins attach games to challenges (via the Game action) without cluttering the games tab.

Featured games

The featured toggle (#1930) pins a game to the top of the games tab. Reserve for launches or seasonal events — overuse kills the signal.

Repeatability

The repeatability toggle (#2304) decides whether the same game can be replayed by a member for rewards. Off = one-and-done. On = members can chase higher scores repeatedly.
