Roll & Win Board Game Giveaway Template
Launch your board games giveaway to build hype for your new board game and convert fans into early crowdfunding backers.
This template combines playful engagement through a themed quiz, community actions like Discord and YouTube, and direct pledge intent with Kickstarter or Indiegogo visits to boost your campaign.
By making the quiz mandatory, you immerse players in your game world before they even play. Sharing lore, factions, and mechanics through fun questions not only entertains entrants but also filters for passionate fans. Adding social shares and a rotating Secret Code from campaign updates keeps participants returning throughout your funding window.
Pair your giveaway with rewards like exclusive backer editions, board game bundles, or gift vouchers for hobby shops. This positions the giveaway as a perfect extension of your campaign, helping you grow a loyal fan community while driving pledges.
Use the quiz to preview mechanics and lore from your board game. This creates immersion while positioning entrants as future players and backers.
