Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Rules aren’t explicit; dev and demo posts are common — if you plan frequent promotional posts, ask the mods first.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, guide, news
Use short, descriptive headlines (announcements, questions, or “I made/released” statements). Write in first person for dev posts or conversational first/second person for help requests. Typical post/excerpt length: one short paragraph plus a link. Tone: casual, enthusiastic, helpful. What gets upvoted: release/demo announcements, remaster/news, useful walkthroughs and clear help requests; avoid repeated/low-effort cross-posting or obvious spam.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/hiddenobjectgames's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
