Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Guessing Game posts tap into natural curiosity and the pleasure of prediction. When members are invited to solve a fun mystery or speculate about an outcome, they are far more likely to comment, read others' responses, and return to see if they guessed correctly. This injects an element of play into your community, lowering the barrier to participation and making even less active members want to chime in.
For email marketing professionals and enthusiasts, these games can also serve as quick learning moments. By guessing at industry trends, campaign results, or fun facts, members reinforce their knowledge and stay engaged with the topic. The low-pressure, interactive format makes participation feel rewarding and enjoyable, rather than intimidating or time-consuming.

Choose a template that fits your current discussion or community vibe, then post it as a new thread or in your daily engagement rotation. Share the clue or partial information and invite members to drop their guesses in the comments. After a set period, reveal the answer and celebrate creative or correct responses. Encourage follow-up discussion to keep the momentum going.
For all platforms, use concise wording and clear calls to action so posts are accessible on both desktop and mobile. Use polls where available for easy participation, or invite replies for deeper discussion. Pin or highlight the most interactive guessing games to boost visibility.
To make your Guessing Game both fun and informative, frame questions around stats or scenarios related to deliverability. For example, ask members to guess the percentage of emails that typically land in the spam folder or which authentication protocol (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) is most often misconfigured. This approach encourages engagement while reinforcing critical industry knowledge.
Consider questions like 'Guess which subject line variant increased open rates by 20%?' or 'Which email layout resulted in a higher CTR: single-column or multi-column?' These questions challenge members to apply their understanding of A/B testing and interpret real-world outcomes, sparking discussions around optimization strategies.
Absolutely! Incorporating up-to-date benchmarks—such as 'Guess the average click-through rate for SaaS emails in 2024'—promotes awareness of current industry standards and stimulates conversation around performance expectations. Just be sure to cite your sources when revealing the answer to maintain credibility.
Pose scenario-based questions such as 'Which of these actions would violate CAN-SPAM regulations?' or 'Guess the minimum data retention period required under GDPR for email lists.' This approach helps reinforce compliance knowledge while keeping the content interactive.
Ask questions like 'Guess what percentage of marketers use AI-driven segmentation?' or 'Which AI-powered tool has the highest reported ROI for email personalization?' This sparks interest around current trends and encourages members to share their experiences with new technologies.
Alternate between scenarios or stats that affect both segments. For example, ask members to guess unsubscribe rates in B2B vs. B2C campaigns, or present a challenge like 'Which industry saw the biggest increase in email engagement post-pandemic?' This ensures inclusivity and fosters cross-segment learning.
