# YouTuber Challenge

> Create a video-driven challenge with timestamp tasks and a giveaway reward

Launch a challenge around a YouTube video to grow engagement, gather insights, and drive measurable actions.

## Outcome

* Users watch your video, answer timestamp-based questions, and complete social actions
* Users earn points that they can spend on giveaway entries
* You get richer audience data and leaderboard-driven engagement

## Prerequisites

* Nudj admin account and an organisation
* A community (create one in the [Community Setup](/admin-guide/community-setup) guide)
* A published YouTube video URL

## Step-by-step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create or choose a community">
    Follow [Community Setup](/admin-guide/community-setup). Apply your visuals in [Branding & Theming](/admin-guide/settings/branding-theming).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new challenge">
    Go to <strong>Engagement → Challenges</strong>, click <strong>Create Challenge</strong>, give it a title like "Watch & Win: New Video" and set <em>Status</em> to <strong>Draft</strong>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add actions (what users do)">
    Add 3–5 actions that validate video engagement and promote your channel:

    <ul>
      <li><strong>External Link</strong>: Open your YouTube video (target: new tab)</li>
      <li><strong>Multiple Choice Question</strong>: Ask 1–3 questions tied to timestamps (e.g., "At 03:12, which tool did we use?")</li>
      <li><strong>Social Action</strong>: YouTube <em>subscribe</em> or <em>like</em> action</li>
      <li><strong>Open-ended Question</strong> (optional): Collect feedback or suggestions</li>
    </ul>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure points & XP">
    Assign points (spendable) and XP (status) to actions and for challenge completion so users can purchase giveaway entries and climb leaderboards.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a giveaway reward">
    In <strong>Engagement → Rewards</strong>, create an <strong>Entries Only</strong> reward (giveaway). Set an <em>entry points price</em> (e.g., 25 points per entry) and schedule a draw date.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach reward to the challenge">
    In the challenge’s reward configuration, confirm base points/XP and link the giveaway reward if needed for visibility.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go live and share">
    Set the challenge to <strong>Live</strong>. Copy the public link from the challenge page.<br />
    Add it to your YouTube description and pinned comment, and mention it in your video or community tab post.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Suggested configuration

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Challenge (key settings) theme={null}
  {
    "status": "live",
    "isLinear": false,
    "details": {
      "title": "Watch & Win: New Video"
    },
    "rewards": {
      "completion": { "points": 100, "xp": 300 }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```json Giveaway Reward (entries-only) theme={null}
  {
    "allocationsType": "entries-only",
    "entryPointsPrice": 25,
    "entriesSupply": 10000,
    "maxEntriesPerUser": 20,
    "drawsAt": "2025-09-30T23:59:59Z",
    "status": "live"
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Tips

<Tip>
  Use timestamp-based questions to validate watch-through without requiring users to leave the video page for long.
</Tip>

<Info>
  Leaderboards reflect XP. To emphasize competition, grant small XP per action and a bonus on completion.
</Info>

## Measure success

* Challenge starts vs completions
* Giveaway entries purchased (points spent)
* New subscribers/likes vs baseline
* Leaderboard participation and return visits
