Prediction Game

A prediction game is a mechanic in which entrants must predict the outcome of an upcoming event (sports, culture...) to try to win a prize, with the winner(s) being those whose prediction was closest or exactly right. Example: a brand sponsoring a sports competition invites its followers to predict the final score for a chance to win VIP tickets. Unlike a quiz, which covers already-established knowledge, a prediction game covers an event whose outcome is still unknown at the time of entry.
