Game validation errors
What each game error in the publish check means, and the fix, from odds that don't add up to a form with no questions.
When a game blocks publishing, the check names the game in its message. Find the message below. For a blocker that isn't about a game, see Validation & publishing.
The odds don't add up to 100%
Probability-based game '…' has invalid total probability weights: … (must equal 100)
Why this happens
- Under Random Chance, the winning options and the losing outcome share 100%.
Fix it
- On the game's Outcomes tab, read Total Probability at the top.
- Adjust each option's Probability until the total is 100%.
More in Probability weights don't sum to 100.
Two winning options give the same prize
Luck-based game '…' has duplicate rewards: … winning options share the same reward '…'
Why this happens
- Each winning option needs its own reward, so its stock and messages stay separate.
Fix it
- Create a second reward in Build > Rewards: see Create a reward.
- Link it to the other winning option, under Link with a Luck Based Game Reward.
A reward is unlimited in Scheduled Rewards
Game '…' uses reward '…' which has unlimited quantity, but Scheduled Rewards mode requires specific quantities
Why this happens
- Scheduled Rewards spreads a set number of prizes over time, so it needs a number.
Fix it
- Open the reward in Build > Rewards and set its quantity.
- Or, on the game's Outcomes tab, switch to Random Chance.
The game has no winning option
Luck-based game '…' has no winning option
Why this happens
- Every luck-based game needs at least one prize to give: the Wheel of Fortune, Scratch Card, Reveal Card, Simple Game and 3D Selection.
Fix it
- On the game's Outcomes tab, select Add Winning Option.
- Link a reward to it, and set its message and picture.
The game has more than one losing outcome
Luck-based game '…' has … losing options
Why this happens
- A game has one losing outcome, or none, where every player wins. The editor shows only the first one, so a copied game can hide a second.
Fix it
- Open the game's Outcomes tab.
- Delete the losing outcomes you don't need, and keep one.
Scheduled Rewards has no losing outcome
Time-based game '…' requires exactly one losing option
Why this happens
- Between two winning moments, players land on the losing outcome, so Scheduled Rewards needs exactly one.
Fix it
- On the game's Outcomes tab, add a losing outcome, or delete the extra one.
The wheel's losing slice was renamed
Losing option … must be named 'Losing Option' (current: '…')
Why this happens
- The wheel recognises its losing slice by the name Losing Option.
Fix it
- Open the wheel builder and rename the slice Losing Option: see Wheel of Fortune.
The scratch card has no cover
Scratch game '…' is missing a covered image
Fix it
- Build the card again with a Front Image (Scratchable Cover): see Scratch Card.
The 3D game has no objects
3D selection game '…' has invalid number of objects: …
Fix it
- On the Appearance tab, set Number of Objects to 1 or more: see 3D Selection.
The reveal game has no options
Reveal game '…' has no options configured
Fix it
- On the Outcomes tab, add a winning option, then a losing outcome: see Reveal Card.
The quiz shows more questions than it has
Quiz game '…' question count (…) exceeds available questions (…)
Fix it
- Lower the number of questions shown, or add questions: see Quiz.
The form has no questions
Form game '…' has no form fields configured
Fix it
- Under Form Fields, add at least one question: see Form.
A skill game has no prize
This one is a warning, not an error: the game publishes, but nobody can win it. Add a reward under Performance Rewards: see Link rewards to a game.
