Social & Leaderboard

Social mode turns a stream into a collaborative team experience. Instead of individual play, every participant contributes to a shared team score — perfect for live events, team-building activities, trade shows, and community engagement campaigns.

How Social Mode Works

When social mode is active on a stream:

• Every player’s score is added to a team total for that stream
• A real-time scoreboard shows team progress, participant count, time remaining, and milestone achievements
• Players see the collective score update as others play simultaneously
• Reaching a score milestone triggers an unlock popup with an optional prize image and redemption code (rendered as a QR code on the scoreboard)

Setting Up the Scoreboard

The scoreboard is configured per stream from the Streams page.

1. Go to Streams and locate the stream you want to run in team mode
2. Open the stream’s actions menu and choose Scoreboard

3. In the Scoreboard configuration modal, toggle the switch to Active — this enables social mode on the stream

4. Configure the four sections described below

5. Click Save when you’re done

The modal also exposes two shortcuts:

• Copy Link — copies the public scoreboard URL to your clipboard
• Open Scoreboard — opens the fullscreen scoreboard in a new tab (only available when the scoreboard is Active)

1. Texts

• Title — displayed at the top of the scoreboard overlay (e.g. your event name)
• Team Name — shown on the score card below the team logo

2. Theme Colors

• Primary Color — used for the replay button and progress bar
• Secondary Color — used for the score glow and submit button

3. Overlay Assets

Upload, generate with AI, or pick from your gallery the four visual layers used by the scoreboard overlay:

• Landscape Background (1920×1080) — shown when the scoreboard runs in landscape orientation
• Portrait Background (450×800) — shown when the scoreboard runs in portrait orientation
• Team Frame (1024×1024) — decorative frame around the score panel
• Team Logo (256×256, transparent PNG) — your team logo or badge

4. Milestones

Add up to 5 milestones that the team unlocks as their combined score grows. For each milestone:

• Prize Name — the label shown when the milestone is reached
• Milestone Score — the team score required to unlock it (must be higher than the previous milestone, otherwise saving is blocked)
• Redemption Code (optional) — a code players can use to claim the prize; rendered as a QR code on the scoreboard
• Prize Image (optional) — an image displayed in the unlock popup

When the team crosses a milestone score, the scoreboard plays a confetti burst and shows the unlock popup with the prize image and QR code.

Note

Only players who are playing a game on the /stream page will see the Redeem button and the milestone prizes (prize name and prize image). The fullscreen scoreboard display does not show individual prize details — it only shows the milestone progress bar and a “Scan to Play” QR code for spectators to join.

Time Left / Countdown Timer

The scoreboard displays a live countdown timer that shows how much time remains before the stream ends. This is driven by the stream’s Start Date, End Date, and Timezone settings — no extra configuration is needed inside the scoreboard modal.

How to Set It Up

1. When creating or editing a stream, scroll to the Schedule section
2. Set the Start Date and End Date for when you want the event to finish
3. Select the correct Timezone for your event location

The timer starts counting down automatically on the scoreboard once the stream is active.

How the Timer Displays

The countdown format adapts based on how much time remains:

Time remaining	Display format	Example
Under 1 minute	00:SS	00:42
Under 1 hour	MM:SS	12:35
Under 24 hours	HH:MM:SS	03:45:12
Under 30 days	Xd XXh	2d 14h
30 days+	Xmo Xd	1mo 5d

Below the timer, a contextual label appears based on the stream’s timezone:

• Ending soon — less than 60 seconds remaining
• Ends this morning / afternoon / evening / tonight — ends within the current day
• Ends May 30 — ends on a future date
• Ended — the stream end time has passed

Fullscreen Leaderboard Display

The public scoreboard page is designed to be projected at live events. Once social mode is active, its URL is:

https://app.dailyplay.ai/stream/{orgSlug}/{streamSlug}/scoreboard

You can also grab this link from the Copy Link button in the Scoreboard modal.

Leaderboard Features

• Auto-rotates between portrait and landscape layouts based on the display orientation
• Animated score increases (fullscreen only) — when the team score jumps, floating “+X” indicators rise from the score with tiered effects. This animation only appears on the fullscreen scoreboard display, not on the player’s end-of-game screen.
  • Small increases: green text
  • Medium increases: blue text with glow
  • Large increases: yellow text with enhanced glow and larger size
• Milestone progress bar — shows the next milestone and celebrates each one when reached. Unreached milestones display the prize name as ”?” to keep the reward hidden until the team score crosses the threshold. Once unlocked, the actual prize name is revealed.
• QR codes — there are two distinct QR code experiences:
  • Fullscreen scoreboard — displays a single “Scan to Play” QR code (in landscape mode) that encodes the stream URL, allowing spectators to join the game from their phone. It does not show individual milestone redemption codes.
  • Player stream page — after completing a game, players who have unlocked milestones see a Redeem button. Tapping it opens an overlay with a QR code for each unlocked milestone’s redemption code, along with the prize name, prize image, and a tap-to-copy code badge.
• Real-time polling — the scoreboard refreshes every 10 seconds, no manual reload needed

Display Tips

• Open the scoreboard URL on a large screen or projector at your event
• Press F11 for true browser fullscreen (no UI chrome)
• For landscape projection on a phone or tablet, opening fullscreen will also attempt to lock the device to landscape orientation
• Keep the player game URL on a separate device (or share it via QR code) so the scoreboard display stays clean

Use Cases

• Conference engagement — attendees play games on their phones, the team score displays on stage
• Retail events — in-store customers contribute to a collective goal that unlocks a prize for everyone
• Team building — departments compete by assigning different streams to different teams
• Product launches — unlock reveal content when the community reaches a score milestone
