Two waves.
One Next Fest.
The first wave builds wishlists in the week before the Fest. The second goes live the hour the Fest opens and sends players straight to your demo. You book both at once.
Build wishlists
Creators post about your game in the week before Next Fest, linking your Steam page. Every wishlist you add now is a player who already knows your game when the demo goes live.
- TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels
- Trailer and gameplay, call to action: wishlist
- Pay per verified view
Fill your demo
The embargo lifts with the Fest. Creators who recorded your demo in advance post as it goes live, and viewers can download it the minute they watch.
- Embargo set to Oct 19, 10:00 PDT
- Demo gameplay, call to action: play the demo
- Option: fresh creators only (+$500) for new audiences

Teams shipping real games already run on Trapster
Working with content creators is much easier with Trapster — it saves us time and helps our team stay focused and efficient.
Trapster successfully aligned dozens of creators within one launch window, proving what their team is capable of.
I highly recommend Trapster if your goal is to engage the gaming community. They found the right creators and played a key role in making our launch a success.
I've been looking for something like this for a long time. I really like what the trapster.gg team is doing and how they do it.
Before you book
Why start before the Fest?
Wishlists added before the Fest opens are players who already know your game when the demo goes live, so they are the first to try it.
Won’t wave 1 spoil the demo?
No. Wave 1 shows the game and asks for a wishlist. Wave 2 creators record the demo under embargo and post only when the Fest opens.
When do I need to book?
By Oct 7 for both waves. After that you can still book wave 2 for day one.
Can I run only one wave?
Yes. Each wave is its own campaign with its own budget — pick the one that fits your plan.
How are views verified?
We track every video on the platform itself and check views before anything is paid.
What’s the minimum budget?
$3,000 per wave, platform fee included.
Book by Oct 7.
Two waves, one Fest.
From $3,000 per wave · Pay only for verified views · You approve every creator
