It seems that nobody but me (and a select few others on the app) has been swept away by this bizarre, highly entertaining online game. So, I’m here to give you the run down and answer your questions.
Dabloons are a fake online currency on TikTok that you use to buy imaginary things, like food and clothing to use on your ‘travels’ down your FYP (for you page).
The image most used for them are a collection of small gold coins, like the pound. But they have a bit more of a medieval spin.
Dabloons can be acquired in a few ways.
Again, Dabloons can be lost in a few ways.
Basically, with no government initially formed, there were no rules in place for the game. People would gift ‘Infinite Dabloons’ (Come on, really? What’s the point in that?) and that caused rapid inflation for supply prices. A lot of people suffered. 8 Dabloons for one hot chocolate at only a 3-star Inn is absolutely ridiculous. The poor got poorer.
The most insane thing is that this helped people to understand how inflation works. So many history lessons wasted when we only needed to experience the collapse of a fake, cat-controlled, online society to learn. Why did nobody think of this sooner?
Anyway, the natural solution was to form a government. It became illegal to gift more than 100 Dabloons per video, and those who didn’t comply were arrested (no, I will not elaborate on how this is possible).
However, like every account of history ever, some people didn’t agree. This has caused underground rebellions that want to make their own rules, where Dabloonaires still exist whilst others are recovering from the impact of inflation. We expect war any day now.
Well, first, you cannot search for these videos. The Dabloons you collect only count when the video is on your FYP – searching for it will mean that they were not meant to cross your path, and so were not meant for you. If you want to play, you must hope the cats find you on their own.
When you do start to play, don’t try to keep track of this by memory. In just a few videos a lot can change. Always have your notes app open whilst on TikTok and edit your count/supplies as you go.
For reference, here is my current notes app tracker:
There absolutely is not one, it’s just fun. Live a little.
That said, as a digital marketer, it’s opened my eyes to a lot of things.
For those of you who haven’t already, make sure to download TikTok to play.
Becoming an apprentice was something I had never anticipated. Throughout my entire life, teachers pushed me down the path of academia, and university seemed to be my only smart option...
The value of Instagram is often questioned by B2B marketers, largely due to the conventional notion that different social media platforms work better for different types of brand. But is this really the case?
