Hey! I’m making a Hogwarts Obby, and I’m adding 7 levels and 8 minigames. I keep trying to make interconnected lore and special secret things, such as secret passages that will show an unofficial piece of some type of lore of Gimkit Hogwarts, and I don’t know what types of things I should do. I wonder if I’m doing to much or too little? Idk… help!
maybe just make a few little things here and there that are only unlocked by a secret button or smth.
DONT OVERDO IT!
u will be tempted to just add a bunch of secret things and then when people keep finding them, it wont be as fun and get kinda annoying
maybe rewatch some iconic parts of the movies and make up some quick little backstory or extra piece of the story that’s not officially in the movies or books

ok! ty!! I think that adding a whole secret battle mayyy be overdoing it a bit, I might remove that, or make a smaller battle that would be the battle of hogwarts
no the secret battle is good… just dont make a lot of them (like only make 1-2)
but the battle of hogwarts is also a good idea
You could add a thumbnail. That usually attracks meh!
Also don’t overdo anything
Then again, with the slop that’s on Trending, I doubt anyone would care.

While I would normally agree, there are rarely some good games that come along - like, for example, one of yoyo’s games was on there when he made it a while back.

Let’s keep this on topic, shall we?
Are you looking for quality? Certain mechanics? What exactly do you need to “appeal” people.

I’d say for your obby (if you want it to appeal to many people), you can make…
A good thumbnail!
I know this was said earlier, but I just want to say it again because they’re really appealing, and mainly what gets you clicks, and maybe even plays as you want! maybe like reference Harry Potter (since it is a Hogwarts obby), and other stuff!
A good description!
If you want to hook people into your game, maybe you can make your description a reference to Harry Potter or a question or mystery that could only be understood if you played the obby.
A cool name!
Nobody doesn’t like a cool name, and it’s also something that would appeal to many people along with a thumbnail.
Some ideas are:
“The Jumps of Hogwarts”
“Platform(er) 9 3/4”
“The Magic Obby of Hogwarts”
You don’t have to use any of these, but i’m just saying
Easter Eggs!
These always make games more interesting when you find something secret in a game, and it’s always fun to hunt for Easter eggs in games!
Some Easter eggs you can do are:
- purposely falling on a certain jump to get onto a secret pathway or something like that
- make something extra for the player to do, like maybe a secret minigame in a minigame or something like that
and more!
Keep in mind there’s so much more you can do, but these are just the ideas that popped into my head that I thought would be very appealing for many people.
Sorry for all the yap, but I hope this helps with your game!
Edit: Why does this post look like AI now that I look back on it
