FULL SCREEN / BANNER AD SPECS

Five paid placements across a 26-question run. All sizes are CSS pixels (device-independent); supply creative at @3x and let us downscale. One complete play-through delivers 112 impressions across all slots.

Full screen availability — Q21 to Q26

Six slots, sold one at a time. A sold slot takes the whole screen for 12 seconds in front of its tournament question. A slot nobody has bought does not appear in the run at all — so buying Q21 and Q22 means two full screen adverts, not six. 0 sold, 6 available.

Demo mode: all six slots are shown in the walkthrough as placeholder cards marked “12 seconds run”, and flash past rather than holding for the full duration. In live mode only contracted slots appear.

Notes for the rate card

  • full-screen-advert is the premium unit: full screen, unskippable for 12 seconds, with no competing UI beyond the countdown. Six slots exist per play and each is sold separately — the 6 impressions per play figure assumes all six are contracted.
  • home-sponsor is the only slot served to visitors who bounce without playing, so its reach exceeds the in-game slots even though it delivers one impression per visit.
  • Banner slots stretch full-bleed above 320 css px. Quote the 320 px centre as the guaranteed readable area.
  • Animated creative must loop cleanly and carry no audio — the game already runs its own soundtrack.
