BLINDBOX COMMUNITY · IN THE WORKS

YOUR STORY.
YOUR BOX.

Anyone can open a box. Soon, anyone can make one.

Blindbox Community is where writers, animators and people with one unhinged idea will publish their own interactive short stories. You keep the story and 99% of the royalties it earns. We keep 1%.

THE DEAL

ONE PERCENT.
THAT’S THE WHOLE FEE.

Most platforms take a third. We think the person who thought of the armpit joke should get paid for the armpit joke. Blindbox takes a 1% fee on the royalties your story earns, and nothing to publish.

OF EVERY DOLLAR IN ROYALTIES1% BLINDBOX
The fine print we already know: card processors and app stores charge their own fees, and those come out before royalties are counted. Everything else on this page is the plan, and the details get locked with the first group of creators.

FROM IDEA
TO OPEN BOX.

A Blindbox story is small on purpose: a 30-second episode, two choices, two endings. That is one evening of work, not a production.

01 / WRITE

Start with the line

One scene, one out-of-pocket opening line, two moments where the viewer decides what happens.

02 / BUILD

Bring your clips

Animate, film or generate five short shots and a few voice lines. The player handles choices, captions and endings.

03 / PUBLISH

Seal the box

We check it against the house rules, then it goes into the boxes viewers open. The first episode is always free.

04 / EARN

Get your 99%

When viewers unlock later episodes, the royalties are yours. You see what each choice and ending earned.

WHERE WE
ARE NOW.

We are building this in the open and in order. No dates until the stage before it works.

NOW

ORIGINALS

We make the first stories ourselves to prove the format and the player.

Self-serve publishing. If you can write a scene, you can ship a box.

  • Creator pages and followers
  • Viewers vote on what happens next

THIS IS
THE FORMAT.

These three are ours. Yours would sit right next to them. Play one to see what you would be making.

HOUSE RULES.

  • 01Your story stays yours. Publishing here does not hand it to us.
  • 02No real people’s faces or voices without their say-so.
  • 03No lifting someone else’s show, characters or script.
  • 04If AI made it, the label says so.
  • 05Every character is an adult, and every story is fiction.

QUESTIONS.

What exactly is the 1% taken from?

From the royalties your story earns after card-processor and app-store fees. If your story earns nothing, the fee is nothing.

Can I publish today?

Not yet. Right now only Blindbox Originals are live. The first outside creators will be a small invited group.

Do I have to use AI video?

No. Animate it, film it, draw it or generate it. The player only needs short vertical clips and voice lines.

Does it cost anything to publish?

The plan is no. Making your clips is on you; putting the story in a box is free.

How do viewers pay?

The first episode of every story is free. Later episodes unlock for a small price. That part is not built yet.
