Viral merge puzzle game featuring internet's most chaotic meme characters.

Brainrot Merge

The brief

From a real problem to a working product.

When Brainrot meme culture exploded across TikTok and YouTube, we moved fast. Brainrot Merge was ideated, designed, and shipped in under 10 weeks — catching the trend at peak velocity.

The game mechanics are deceptively simple: merge matching tiles to evolve increasingly chaotic Brainrot characters. The art team leaned fully into the absurdist visual style that made the meme culture so shareable. Every merge animation was designed to be clip-worthy.

Monetization is ad-first with no hard paywalls — rewarded ads, interstitials at natural break points, and optional cosmetic IAPs. The result: strong D1/D7 retention, high ad revenue per user, and organic social spread that kept installs growing weeks after launch.
