Darkside Lab Secret Leaks Playbook
Darkside Lab (/darkside/) turns your fans into undercover agents. These tactics help you stage secret dossiers, gated drops, and chaotic confessionals.
Plan the leak cadence
Release dossiers in three beats: ntercepted intel, ? edacted follow-up, ? ull reveal. ?Each beat drops within a 24-hour window so the Discord stays buzzing. The homepage hero swaps palette (neon magenta → deep red) every time the leak escalates.
Gate access by credits
Fans must spend 4 credits to see the lassified ?version, but a 2-credit preview exists for lurkers. This drives paid packs without locking casuals out. Make sure the pricing page mentions the operation so buyers know why they need more credits tonight.
Embed secret codes
Hide a 6-character code on each Darkside card ( ile: BATCH-7H ?. When players DM the code to the Discord bot, they get +2 credits or a bonus ShareCopy line. The bot also logs which share IDs discovered each code, giving you attribution data for campaigns.
Partner with lore accounts
Invite lore creators on TikTok/Threads to ecrypt ?each card. Give them early prompts plus a private leaderboard lane called peratives. ?Their breakdown videos double as tutorials for the lab, sending a flood of first ime runs.
Add real-time overlays
During live streams, pipe Darkside outputs into an OBS scene with glitch overlays and heart-rate graphics. The chat spams keywords, you copy the best ones into the lab, and everyone screenshots the dossier. A single stream can generate hundreds of cards for people camera rolls.
Wrap with a debrief
Publish a Notion page summarizing the best leaks, run counts, and fan theories. Link it from the support page so newcomers can catch up. Then tease the next operation ( peration VIBE ? with a QR code pointing to a waitlist.
