What are the different prize outcomes in AR Prize Drop, and how do they work?

AR Prize Drop supports multiple prize outcome types to create a complete giveaway experience:

**Winning Prizes**: When fans tap a parachute containing a prize, they receive one of your configured main prizes (such as tote bags, blankets, speakers, or physical items). Each prize has a specific quantity and win percentage based on your settings.

**No Prize Image**: When fans tap a parachute that doesn't contain a prize, they see a 'No Prize' image—a transparent PNG graphic that provides immediate feedback so they don't think the game is broken. This should communicate encouraging messaging like 'Nothing here — try again!' or sponsor-specific encouragement such as 'Keep catching for your chance at a free drink!' This graphic maintains engagement by prompting fans to continue playing rather than feeling discouraged. After viewing this message and tapping 'Continue,' fans return to the AR view to catch more parachutes.

**Consolation Prize**: AR Prize Drop can be configured with a consolation prize that ensures every participant walks away with something, even if they don't win a main prize. For example, you might set up physical prizes as main rewards while configuring a digital coupon or discount (like '$2 off your next purchase') as the consolation prize. Anyone who plays but doesn't win a main prize automatically receives the consolation prize.

**All Prizes Claimed**: When all prizes in your limited pool have been claimed, subsequent participants receive a consolation screen instead of a prize. Configure your 'all prizes claimed' or 'thanks for playing' graphic through CUE's Global Prizing settings (not the AR Prize Drop product settings directly) and set it as a consolation prize with unlimited quantity. This ensures that once your prize pool (for example, 25 essential bundles) is exhausted, the 26th participant and beyond automatically see the consolation screen after the gameplay timer completes, providing a clean user experience that acknowledges participation.
