How to find merge garden games TikTok creators
I scroll Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube under a fresh account if I’m looking for merge garden games creators. I try to put myself in the shoes of the person who would actually play the first session: US English, 28-48, already bounced off a merge that energy-gated every merge and a garden that was a wait timer, watches ‘I am waiting two hours to merge’ and evening-couch-garden videos after dishes. Then I linger, save, like, and comment as if I were them. Once the algorithm is trained I take whoever keeps showing up.
I do not open #mergegame and call the spreadsheet research.
They watch energy-gate, two-hour-wait, evening-couch, ‘the garden is a timer’. They already tried a merge that energy-gated, a garden that was a wait timer, and a web merge they outgrew. Adjacent is after-dishes couch, energy-gate, not kids’ merge. Skip the 800k merge-game recapper whose videos are launch trailers.
Ideally over 50k average. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.
What keeps showing up in this feed
The same energy-timer face two evenings. The example I want in my head: someone staring at an energy timer after dinner.
Energy-gate rants already have the audience; a first board they can merge after dishes is the demo.
Doing this by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a kids’ merge and you will leave the after-dishes adult. That is why I automated the scrolling. Scout is $1,500/month for the list.
The long method essay is How we find creators by scrolling a real TikTok avatar. I wrote the first-person version at How I find influencers.
Reject list, written down
Write the reject before you scroll: the 800k merge-game recapper whose videos are launch trailers. Also skip anyone whose last dozen posts are collab ads and who has never talked about energy-gate, two-hour-wait, evening-couch, ‘the garden is a timer’.
If they only exist under #mergegame, they wanted brands to find them. That is not who is being served to the person who would actually play the first session tonight.
50k floor
I want roughly 50k average views because the economics will not work otherwise. Recappers quote launch rates. $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from. One no is not the campaign.
