Online contest builder: one question a day, all the way to the winners

With Porsino's online contest builder you create one link that asks a new question every day. Each person's question is picked at random from that day's set and never repeats, the server keeps time, the correct answer stays hidden until the day ends — and at the finish you get the final leaderboard, a verifiable lottery and certificates.

  • One question a day
  • Random, never repeated
  • Transparent lottery
  • Certificates with QR

How does a daily contest work?

  1. Arrange your questions

    Pick from your question bank, create them right there or import from Excel and Word. “Question bank health” tells you how many days and participants they cover.

  2. Set the dates and daily window

    Start date and link expiry, when each day's question opens and closes, days off and the time per question. All in Tehran time.

  3. Share the link

    A short link, a QR code for posters, a ready-made message for messaging apps and a calendar file. Participants register once with their name and mobile.

  4. One question a day

    Every day a new question opens in the set window; answers lock and are revealed to everyone at the same time after the day ends.

  5. Announce the winners

    The final leaderboard, a transparent lottery among everyone else, certificates and a report card for each person — with one click.

Fair, even when answers get passed around

  • Random, never repeated, per person

    Each participant's question is picked from that day's set and nobody sees the same question twice. Each day's difficulty is the same for everyone; if you prefer, everyone gets the same question and only the option order differs.

  • Correct answers hidden until the day ends

    Until the day's window closes for everyone, neither the correct answer reaches the browser nor that day's points reach the leaderboard — so a rising score gives nothing away.

  • Server-side timer

    Each question's time is counted on the server from the moment “Show question” is tapped; changing the phone clock or reopening the page buys no extra time.

  • One registration per mobile

    Each number registers only once; you can also turn on SMS verification, an invite list or an access code. Signals such as leaving the page are recorded for you.

Points, streaks and the leaderboard

  • Points for correct answers and, if you like, a penalty for wrong ones.
  • A speed bonus for faster correct answers — only when questions have a time limit.
  • A streak bonus for consecutive “all correct” days.
  • Catch up on a missed day with a fresh reserve question for fewer points.
  • A public leaderboard, one for participants only, or hidden until the end — with masked names and a table for each day.

Transparent lottery and certificates

The top ranks of the final leaderboard win. To reward everyone, a lottery runs among the rest who meet the accuracy and attendance conditions. Before the draw the ticket list is fixed and the random seed's “fingerprint” is published; afterwards anyone on the contest page can verify the winners in their own browser with one click.

  • Gold, silver and bronze certificates

    For the top three, a special one for lottery winners and — if you like — participation certificates for everyone else; with the organiser's name and signature.

  • Verification by QR

    Every certificate has a code and QR so anyone can check it online, just likeexam certificates.

  • A report card for everyone

    Score, rank and percentile, accuracy, average time, best streak and each day's correct answer — on the page and as a PDF.

  • Reminders and congratulations

    Daily SMS or email reminders only for people who asked for them, and a congratulation message to winners when you announce.

Live dashboard and reports for organisers

During the contest you get a live dashboard: participants, today's players, the day-by-day trend, retention and the top players. The full report shows the score and answer-time distributions, analysis of each question (difficulty, discrimination and distractors) and breakdowns by city and organisation — all exportable to Excel and PDF.

What kind of contests?

  • Schools and classes

    A weekly or monthly class contest; one question a day from that week's lesson and certificates for the best.

  • Reading and culture

    A reading challenge, a Ramadan or national-anniversary contest, or a seasonal contest for festivals and national days.

  • Organisations and brands

    Safety and training contests for staff, an SMS contest for customers or a brand campaign with a lottery people can trust.

Frequently asked questions

Is Porsino's contest builder free?

On a free account you can run a short contest with a limited number of participants and try everything out; for longer contests and more participants, activate the “School” plan (Exams & education) or higher. The limits are on the pricing page.

Do participants need an account?

No. They register once on the contest page with their name and mobile number and answer from the same phone every day. To sign in on another device, a sign-in link is sent to their mobile.

What if someone shares today's answer?

In random mode each person gets their own question from that day's set, so one person's answer doesn't help another. And the correct answer isn't revealed to anyone until the day ends.

What if someone misses a day?

If you turn on “catch up on missed days”, they can answer a fresh reserve question later instead; it scores less and counts only after the contest ends.

Why can the lottery be trusted?

Before the draw the ticket list is fixed and the random seed's fingerprint is published, so the seed can't be changed after seeing the outcome. After the draw the seed is revealed and anyone can recompute the winners.

Is the contest page available in English?

Yes. Set the participant page language to English and all texts, SMS, emails and certificates will be in English.
