Form

A Form game is a short questionnaire played as a game: players answer your questions and send them in, and the quickest win. Studio lists it as Form. Here, Lindenhall's Garden Wish List asks what people would plant this spring, and three players win a £20 gift card.

To collect details from everyone who joins the campaign instead, use a participation form.
