A company prediction game
for your employees.
A company prediction game is that rare HR format that runs without HR effort: your employees predict the Bundesliga, the World Cup, or the Handball World Championship – across sites, departments, and countries. Results, points, and leaderboards take care of themselves. You share a link and harvest a ritual.

Internal is not external – and that's the point
This page is about the prediction game inside your company: no lead generation, no public audience, a closed round just for your people. If you want to reach customers and audiences instead, the marketing campaigns live at prediction games for all tournaments. Same platform – different purpose.
Team building without a meeting, a room, or travel costs
An employee prediction game is the cross-department conversation starter no workshop produces – low-threshold enough that even non-football fans join in.
A we-feeling across sites
Production predicts against sales, Munich against Hamburg, the plant against headquarters. Department rankings connect people who otherwise never talk – and business partners and subsidiaries can play too.
A ritual for remote and hybrid teams
Every matchday is a shared moment – in the office, at home, on the road. The prediction game gives distributed teams what hallway chatter no longer delivers: a reason to message each other.
Appreciation that lands
Prizes, an award ceremony, a little leaderboard fame: employee retention doesn't come from fruit-basket rhetoric but from shared experiences. A prediction game delivers 34 of them – per season.
Employer branding with substance
An employer where the whole company plays along has stories to tell – in recruiting, on the intranet, on LinkedIn. And with company-themed bonus questions, company knowledge becomes part of the game.
The mechanics: built for internal rounds
Predict, score, climb the leaderboard – any office pool can do that. These details make the difference in everyday office life.
Company-themed bonus questions
"In which year did our site open?" – bonus questions can be about your company, not just the tournament. The game connects football knowledge with company knowledge. No free tool does that.
Department rankings & self-created teams
Beyond the individual ranking, departments and sites compete against each other. And your people create teams themselves, via invite link – the coffee-kitchen crew organizes itself without HR.
Matchday leaderboard
Every matchday counts on its own. Whoever gets talked into joining after four weeks still has a fresh chance to win every week – the "I'm too far behind anyway" argument doesn't exist.
Streaks & streak grand prize
Predicting every matchday builds a streak – and the grand prize is drawn among everyone who completed theirs. The round stays alive until the last matchday.
Automatic reminders
A nudge before the prediction deadline, a results email after the matchday – automatic, in your company's tone. Nobody from HR has to post "don't forget to predict!" on the intranet.
Every language
German, English, French – and any other language. One round for the international workforce, one setup, one leaderboard.
A closed round: only your people get in
An internal prediction game needs clean access control. Convert offers two layers, individually or combined:
→ Email domain restriction: Only registrations with @yourcompany.com can play. Outsiders stay out – no password lists, no admin work.
→ Embedding in your employee app or intranet: The game runs via iFrame in Staffbase, SharePoint & co. Anyone entering there is automatically an employee. How the embedding works →

Frequently asked questions about the company prediction game
Does everyone in the company have to participate?
No. Participation is voluntary – and that's exactly what makes the format strong: it works even if only part of the workforce plays. In our experience the round grows from matchday to matchday, because the leaderboard creates conversation.
Can management see who predicts what?
The leaderboard is visible to all participants – that's the fun of the game. There is no evaluation of individuals for performance or behavior purposes, and none is intended. Registration follows data minimization: you decide which fields are collected.
Does the prediction game work across multiple sites and countries?
Yes – that's what it's built for. One link, every site, any language. The department and team rankings connect locations instead of separating them. You can also invite business partners and subsidiaries.
Is an employee prediction game unproblematic from a labor-law perspective?
With voluntary participation, data minimization, and no performance link, there is usually nothing standing in the way. For HR, IT, and the works council we deliver the facts: ISO 27001, hosting in Germany, backup in Luxembourg, signature-ready DPA, no data sharing with third parties. Note: this is not legal advice – internal sign-off remains with you.
Does the game run in English and other languages?
Yes, in any language – German, English, French, and any other. For international workforces that means one setup, not parallel operations.
How much time does the game cost your HR team?
Set the goal, deliver logo and colors, pick the prizes, share the link – that was your part. Results, points, leaderboards, and reminders run automatically. After launch: zero hours of upkeep; you only handle the winner notification at the end.
Do we need IT for this?
Not for the standard route: you share a link and the game runs in the browser on any device. IT only comes in if you want to embed the game via iFrame into your intranet or employee app – and even that is a manageable step.
Can we embed the game in our employee app?
Yes, via iFrame – for example into Staffbase or your intranet. The advantage: anyone entering through the app is automatically an employee – access control is built in. Details: prediction game in the employee app.
Does it work for a small department?
Yes. The Starter package covers internal rounds up to 750 participants – a department of 30 makes a great prediction round too. If the round grows, the package grows with it.
How are winners notified?
The drawing is automatic – by leaderboard, by raffle, or as a streak grand prize. You handle the notification yourself: internally that's an advantage, because the award ceremony in the team meeting is the best moment of the whole campaign.
