# Create a campaign from a template

Every campaign starts from a ready-made template. Pick one, name it, choose country and language, and you are in the editor.

Every Scratcher campaign starts from a template: a complete campaign with pages, texts, a game and a design that already work. You change what you want and keep the rest.

## Create a campaign

1. Click **Campaigns** in the top bar.
2. Click **Create campaign**. If you want a popup that appears on top of your website, switch to **Popups** first and click **Create popup**.
3. On the **Create campaign** page, find a template:
    - Use **Campaign** or **Popup** to choose the type.
    - Use **Luck**, **Skill**, **Knowledge** or **Other** to filter by kind of game.
    - Use **Popular** or **New** to sort, or type in **Search by format name…**.
4. Click the template you like. A card shows how many pages the campaign has under **Flow**.
5. In the dialog, fill in:
    - **Campaign name**: only you see this.
    - **Select country**: this also sets the language and time zone of the campaign.
    - **Language**: the language your players see.
6. Click **Create campaign**. The editor opens.

## Landing page or popup?

- A **landing page** campaign has its own web address. You share the link, a QR code, or embed it inside a page on your website.
- A **popup** appears on top of your website, for example after some seconds or when a visitor is about to leave. You set when and where it shows.

You can't turn a landing page into a popup later, so choose the type that fits how people will find the campaign. Not sure? Ask Rex in the chat on the **Create campaign** page. Rex asks a few questions and filters the templates for you.

## Which games are on my plan?

Some game formats are part of higher plans. If a template is locked, you see an upgrade note on it. See [Your trial, plans and what happens when the trial ends](https://scratcher.io/help/billing/trial-and-plans).

## Other ways to start

- **Copy a campaign** that worked well: open the **Actions** menu next to it on the **Campaigns** page and click **Copy campaign**. See [Organise, copy and delete campaigns](https://scratcher.io/help/campaigns/organise-campaigns).
- **Add a language version** of a campaign you already have. See [Run a campaign in several languages](https://scratcher.io/help/campaigns/languages-and-translation).

If no template matches your search, the page says **No formats found**. Each template card shows how many pages its flow has, for example "Flow 4".
