# Pack many game screenshots into one grid slide

A gaming format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/gaming/pack-many-game-screenshots-into-one-grid-slide

Fill a single slide with a dense grid of app icons or gameplay screenshots, so each slide delivers several games at once. It worked for 8 accounts, with a median of 11x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow.

## Why it works

A dense grid makes viewers pause to screenshot or recognize titles they forgot. Kristina's 20+ icon folders, the 2x2 gameplay grids on nostalg1ac0re, and laelindria's 2x2 wishlist grids all do this.

## How to make it

1. Build each slide as a grid (home-screen folder or 2x2)
2. Include the icon or logo plus gameplay shots so forgotten titles are recognizable
3. Add a short badge or one-line pitch (OFFLINE MODE, 'X meets Y')

## Hook formula

[Category] games [for audience/era], grid of [number] titles on slide one

## 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.
