Configuring games for credits usage in the dashboard

Apollo and Boomerang games now use a pre-paid credits system for billing. Once purchased, credits can be used for any Jenson8 Application or Product managed on the Dashboard.

For a comprehensive video tutorial on how to configure games in the dashboard using the credit system, please refer here.

Depending on the particular billing arrangements you have in place, credits are billed:

-per game

-per session 

-per person

In addition to the full paid games of Apollo or Boomerang, it is also possible to run them in Test or Demo mode for a reduced charge.

Apollo test mode

In test mode, Apollo is limited to 2 minutes in the central play zone (the cave). This mode is ideal for testing setups and doing tech checks. All other functionality remains the same.

Test mode is available free of charge

Apollo demo mode

In demo mode, Apollo limited to 4 minutes in the central play zone (the cave). This mode is ideal for demonstrations, with enough time to understand the aims and mechanics of the game.

Demo mode is available to Jenson8 partner organisations for 3 credits.

Apollo full game

In a full game, Apollo has 8+ minutes of play in the central play zone (the cave). This mode is ideal for workshops, where a full game is required. 

Full games are available to Jenson8 partner organisations for 6 credits.

Each game must be configured in one of these modes. The configuration is done on the Manage Game screen of the dashboard, where players and other settings are assigned.

In paid mode (above) the Difficulty and Duration can be set. In Test and Demo mode (below) these are fixed.

Boomerang game modes

As with Apollo, Boomerang is also available in test and demo mode (for partner organisations). In these modes the time limitations are as with Apollo: 2 minutes in test mode, 4 minutes in demo mode in the central play zone. 

In demo mode the Boomerang tutorial is enabled, in test mode it is skipped.

Boomerang test mode is available to Jenson8 partner organisations free of charge.

Boomerang Demo mode is available to Jenson8 partner organisations for 4 credits.

Boomerang full games are available to Jenson8 partner organisations for 8 credits.
