How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

413K views on a app demo post, 443x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 932 views, which is why the multiple matters more than the raw view count - it isolates the posts that outran their own channel instead of the ones riding a big following.

Its Pull score of 2/5 (1.5% weighted) measures how hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment - the actions weighted heaviest because they signal real intent rather than a passing tap. The product it puts forward is A GPS real-world exploration game. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 2.6K likes, 75 comments, 166 shares, and 741 saves - the raw engagement Handler reads to place the post in its niche.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video opens directly on full-screen mobile gameplay, running for about seven seconds without spoken audio. A short hook style text overlay across the upper frame introduces the concept, framed as a direct claim about the title. The clip progresses through two rapid visual beats, cutting between an active map interface and an in-game interaction sequence. Pacing is fast, using continuous motion on screen to transition between the navigation screen and the inventory or collection menu. The app interface fills the entire vertical frame from start to finish, with native UI elements, location pins, and user controls visible throughout.
