First 3 Seconds

Ten short clips from made-up ClipTok creators arrive as storyboard frames in the wrong order. Put the hook in the first 3 seconds, then line up the setup, the build-up, the payoff and the call to action before the clock runs out.

How to play

Read the storyboard. Each clip is cut into 3 to 5 frames, shuffled. The top slot plays in the first 3 seconds.
Find the hook. Put the moment that stops a scrolling thumb first: a result teaser, a bold claim, a question, the best shot.
Order the rest. Tap a frame, then another to swap them, or use the ▲ ▼ buttons. Post before the clock runs out.
Score. A right hook scores 100 (×2 after 3 in a row, ×3 after 6) plus up to 30 for speed; every other frame in place adds 20. A wrong hook costs one of 3 lives.

Quick tips

Tease, don't tell. Show the result in a way that leaves the how open: the gooey cake, not the full recipe.
Skip the warm-up. Car parks, unboxing and "hi everyone" are setup. They belong after the hook.
