In this paper, we cover the creation of Fantasy Forecast, a gamified forecasting platform used for hosting forecasting competitions, or ‘tournaments’ that was deployed in the run-up to and over the course of the 2023 UK local elections. This research is an interdisciplinary endeavour, gamifying the humanities to create a platform centred on elections and other political phenomena, informed by both quantitative (site use metrics and survey responses) and qualitative (user feedback) data.
