Every month, new titles hit the shelves—or digital stores—and spark discussion across the gaming world. But which game really stood out? That’s where the Game of the Month poll comes in. It’s more than just a popularity contest—it’s a snapshot of what’s resonating with players right now.

Why Run a Game of the Month Poll?

• Community engagement: Great way to interact with readers or followers
• Spotlight on emerging titles: Help underrated gems get noticed
• Creates content opportunities: Results can lead to reviews, debates, or feature pieces

How to Structure It

1. Shortlist: Select 5–10 titles released (or updated) in the past month.
2. Categories: Consider breaking votes into:
   • Best Singleplayer Experience
   • Best Multiplayer Game
   • Best Indie Release
   • Best Visual/Art Direction
3. Voting Format: Use polls via blog, Discord, Twitter, or embedded Google Forms.

You can also include an open-ended “write-in” option for surprise contenders.

What Happens Next?

Once the poll ends:

• Share the results visually (charts, banners, community quotes)
• Highlight voter comments or reactions
• Offer shoutouts or mini-awards to niche favorites

Monthly polls help build a sense of rhythm in your content calendar and position your platform as a place for gamer voices to be heard.
