# Draw invisible game math over the footage

A gaming format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/gaming/draw-invisible-game-math-over-the-footage

Overlay colored blocks, grids, lines or diagrams directly on the game scene to make a hidden rule visible. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 73x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Voiceover.

## Why it works

The abstract mechanic becomes something viewers can see and screenshot, so the explanation stays visual.

## How to make it

1. Show the normal in-game scene
2. Layer colored markers, 3D lines or math diagrams on it
3. End on the exact number, formula or takeaway

## Hook formula

This [ordinary thing] is lying to you, here's the math you can't see.

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
