What is an Entry?
In a Faceoff, Poll, Quiz or other game formats, you can submit your own options/candidates/question, which can be part of the game. This is known as an entry. These can be in the form of images, text or video.

get per entry?
You don’t
get any prize points if you create/add an entry, but the fact that you played a
part in making it more fun is what counts. If that doesn’t make you happy
here’s what will - some of our games also have prizes for the best entry! Now
isn’t that a good enough reason for you?

delete an entry after creating it?

entries once submitted cannot be deleted as other users vote for or against
these entries and their points depend on it.
