How a Drop works

A Drop is a campaign for one game. Here is how it runs from brief to report.

  1. Plan the Drop

    Come prepared with your comparable games, target audience, and any launch plan you already have, and we'll help you plan your release strategy.

  2. Build the Drop

    We help you find the best ways to prompt creators to make content, create Dares and rewards, and build your Drop.

  3. Find the creators

    Our team gathers the creators who fit your game best, regardless of whether they're on Dare Drop already.

  4. Go live

    Creators accept Dares and create content. You get the results on your dashboard, all in one place.
